Hi Romeo! Thank you for your submission! You are addressing an issue that is on the top of the agenda: food waste. Few questions for you: What is the inspiration behind the name Ejo? How did you choose the colors? How is your app actually tracking what is happening inside the domestic fridge (slide 4)? How can it prevent fresh ingredients to go bad - bar codes may not be always involved ? Looking forward to seeing how you will develop this app! :) Cheers, Veronica
Hi Veronica, thank you for your comment: 1. Ejo comes from my country's main language (Rwanda), and that means "Tomorrow" or the future - I missed to mention this in my brief. As for the colours, it's a mixture of green (as in green) the soft purple is more for elegance really - many food related apps seems to keep the green as dominant and I just wanted to show much more diversity with this idea. 3. The tracking comes in play as soon as you make your first shopping, everything on your list is then registered and when you can the bar code of products the apps keeps the expiration date of the products - so that you can be alerted before your yogurt goes bad.
- For fresh product, basically the app will keep your archive of your past shoppings - and when you make a new shopping lists it will pop up a reminder and say: hey, you brought garlic two days ago., maybe you might still have some,... something like that.
One the other hand, since we are talking about a future to come, maybe in 10, 20 years we will be able to develop trackable container/packaging that are green and environment friendly to be used at farmers' market and beyond,....
That's my basic idea - I am continuing to research a bit more and see how to improve the functions and which other technologies to include in it - while keeping it simple and convenient - but also user centric.
Hi there, really cool idea, with lots of future applicability! In the 2nd category - "What to eat?", regarding the consumption habits of its potential users, I think the functions of your app could be improved in order to also give you a better direction for your health, not just relate to your existing prefferences, which may sometimes be wrong for your organism - this could relate with existing food journal apps, like Calorific (http://www.calorificapp.com/), My Food Diary (https://www.myfooddiary.com/), or Nutrition Menu (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/nutrition-menu-calorie-exercise/id294692235?mt=8) Also, related to the food waste occurance stages - production, processing, retailing and consumption, the app relates (almost exclusively) only to the consumption stage, I think it could be interesting to find ways to also hit the other stages of the food waste occurance. Well done!
Dear Bogdan Thank you for your input - I am looking at new ways on how to improve the idea - I am still researching some more and planning on a further update soon enough - hopefully before the halftime.
Pretty handy! Useful apps! About eating, may be it can suggest something new, uncommon dishes or even new restaurant, which not based on my routine & eating habit? There are people who like surprises, like me! I love to try new food & new experience at a new restaurant.
Since the chat bot technology works in real time, yes you can ask it to surprise you. sometimes we feel like eating something that we don't know yet,... so chatting with the bot you can surprise yourself with new places, new delivery or simply a mix of something from your own fridge.
Thank you, I am working on an update for the application and improve new functionalities for the chatbot and get it to act more than just a simple messaging and ordering tool!
Hi designmeagain!
How are you doing?
I'm writing you to remind you that there are only 6 days left till the the end of submission time. Are you still working on updates? I find Ejo very interesting as it combines a few of the ideas that have been submitted meanwhile. Please note that we're looking at the future happening in a span of time between 3 to 7 year. A trackable container might be an interesting additional service to add, but I think you should focus on your original idea of connecting shopping , cooking and eating and make it bolder.
Shall you have any question, just let me know! :)
Looking forward to further updates!
Best, Veronica
Dear Veronica, thank you for checking in again - I am working on it - and yes, will push the update further and hopefully I will be done soon before the deadline, so please bear with me. Sadly I didn't get many input, so hard to tell which button I should push even further, but your many comments have been helpful, so bold is coming.

Yup, food waste is one of our biggest problem, besides planning our world supply for the years to come - solving this will make our future struggles a bit less harming!
