Fuelling platform Hexis has launched new features that it claims will redefine the way athletes track and manage their nutrition intake.
With the addition of ‘next generation food logging’, Hexis notes that athletes can now… ‘track their meals and snacks with unprecedented speed, precision and ease. Whether scanning a barcode, telling Hexis what you had, or using AI to recognise the foods, Hexis’ innovative approach eliminates the tedious process of manual tracking, allowing athletes to focus on what really matters: optimising their nutrition.’
Voice logging
Hexis’ voice logging feature makes meal tracking faster and more intuitive. Here, users can simply tell Hexis what they had to eat – down to the exact amounts – and Hexis calculates and logs the food data. The voice-activated tool saves time while helping to ensure accuracy in tracking.
Food scanning
For those who prefer visual input, Hexis offers a food scanning option. By holding a phone camera over a meal or snack, users can identify and log over 1.5 million foods.
Barcode & label scanning
In addition to food scanning, Hexis offers a barcode & label scanning feature where users can quickly scan the barcode or nutrition label of any pre-packaged snack, shake, or meal, and the app will automatically record the relevant nutritional information. This feature is seen to be useful for athletes who are training away from home, traveling, or managing their nutrition on a tight schedule.
Through personalised fuelling strategies, Hexis adds that it enables athletes and coaches to optimise nutrition intake for training through to recovery. The new features on the platform aim to make the process of tracking nutrition faster and more intuitive.
“As we continue to push the boundaries of what technology can do for athletic performance, we are excited to introduce these new features to our users,” said Dr David Dunne, CEO of Hexis.
“We believe that every athlete should have access to cutting-edge tools that make it easier to manage their nutrition, and these new advancements will help athletes at every level achieve their full potential.”
