OurCrowd’s portfolio company Consumer Physics was featured in Mashable, a popular website covering the top social media news. Consumer Physics has developed the world’s first affordable molecular sensor – the SCiO – that fits in the palm of your hand.
French startup DietSensor launched at the 2016 International Consumer Electronics Show a pocket-sized, Bluetooth-connected molecular sensor called SCiO. It uses near-infrared spectroscopy (the analysis of how molecules interact with light) to determine the chemical makeup of food and drink. SCiO can analyze substances based on how their molecules interact with light.
While this may sound like a dream tool for dieters, the SCiO is primarily aimed at helping those with conditions such as diabetes or cardiovascular diseases keep a close eye on their diet.
