Ingredients, in label order

Demo with example products. Not medical advice.

Same ingredient, different name. KelHem decodes them all.

How it works

From label to verdict in one scan

No nutrition degree needed. Set up once, then point your camera.

Set your profile

Choose what you manage: blood sugar, cholesterol, blood pressure, or weight. Pick one or all four. KelHem remembers.

Scan the label

Point your phone at the ingredient list or barcode. Works on packaged food, supplements, and personal care products.

Read the verdict

Each ingredient is cleared or flagged for your profile, with a one-line reason and swaps from the same category.

Inside the app

Four tabs. Scan, browse, compare, and track your day.

KelHem helps before you shop, in the aisle, and after you eat.

Example conversation

Is maltitol okay if I'm watching my blood sugar?

Maltitol is a sugar alcohol. It has fewer calories than sugar, but it still raises blood glucose, just less sharply. KelHem flags it for blood sugar profiles. Want me to show it on a snack bar?

Yes, show me.

Updated the scan demo: snack bar, blood sugar

Built around you

Flags tuned to what you manage

KelHem doesn't give products a generic grade. It checks them against your conditions, so the same bar can be fine for one person and flagged for another.

Blood sugar

Added sugars, syrups, sugar alcohols, and refined starches that raise glucose.

e.g. maltitol, dextrose, corn syrup

Cholesterol

Saturated and trans fats, and the oils that hide them under other names.

e.g. palm oil, coconut oil, shortening

Blood pressure

Sodium in all its forms, including additives you wouldn't think of as salt.

e.g. MSG, sodium phosphate, brine

Weight

Calorie-dense ingredients and serving sizes that understate what you'll eat.

e.g. cane sugar, fried oils, servings per pack

The technology

What happens in the two seconds after you scan

Computer vision, an ingredient database, and condition-matching rules turn a photo into a verdict.

Capture

Read the panel

The camera reads ingredient text straight off the package, including curved, crumpled, or poorly lit labels.

Parse

Name every ingredient

Label text is split into ingredients and matched to scientific, trade, and regional names, so aliases can't slip through.

Match

Check your profile

Each ingredient is tested against a clinically informed rule set for the conditions you selected.

Explain

Say it plainly

You get what was flagged, which condition it affects, and why, in one short line each.

Trust & privacy

Your health profile is yours

You're telling us what conditions you manage. Here's how we treat that.

We never sell your data

Your profile and scan history are used only to give you results. We don't sell them or share them with advertisers or brands.

You stay in control

Edit or delete your profile and scan history from the app at any time. Deleting your account removes your data.

Open product data

Product and barcode information comes from Open Food Facts, an open database built by contributors worldwide, plus what KelHem reads off the label itself.

KelHem informs. It doesn't diagnose.

KelHem is an information tool, not a medical device, and it doesn't replace advice from your doctor or dietitian. Ingredient data can be incomplete or change when products are reformulated. Always check the package and follow your care team's guidance.

FAQ

Questions before you scan

When does KelHem launch?

We're preparing the iOS and Android releases now. Waitlist members get one email when it's live, and early access before the public launch.

Can I manage more than one condition?

Yes. Select any combination. Every ingredient is checked against all of them, and each flag tells you which condition it relates to.

What if a product isn't in the database?

Scan the ingredient list itself. KelHem reads the printed text, so it works even when a barcode isn't recognized.

Does it work on supplements and personal care products?

Yes. Scan supplement facts panels and personal care ingredient lists the same way you scan food.

Can I track what I eat during the day?

Yes. Add scanned or browsed products to My Day, and KelHem totals your added sugars, sodium, saturated fat, and fiber against FDA Daily Values.

What is the Root Score?

It's a seal on each product showing how organic and minimally processed its ingredients are. It's separate from your health signals, which depend on your profile.

Is KelHem medical advice?

No. It helps you understand labels. Decisions about your diet and treatment belong with you and your care team.
