tracking what you eat is no easy task but a small start-up known as diet sensor is hoping to change that diet sensor claims that with a small molecular scanner it can instantly collect accurate and user-friendly nutritional data of a variety of food how does it do this it uses SiO device this is a small scanner developed by a company out of Israel known as consumer physics and it can measure the chemical makeup of materials here's how it works the handheld scanner sends an infrared beam down into the food or beverage that data that records is then transferred to the diet sensor app where it's analyzed and makes up a food profile but it's not perfect the scanner can only read foods with a single layer that means crackers bread cheese and cereal for example it was unable to read a Snickers bar I had with me the diet sensor is a step in the right direction and definitely makes for an interesting future but it's very pricey the sensor will cost you 250 bucks and diet tensions app will cost you 10 to 20 dollars a month and that gets you access to its food database and the analytical data but it's not to be released until around July maybe at latest September so we'll have to wait to see if this is the future of food logging I'm dan Graziano at CES thanks for watching
