Articles about AI and technology

Curious how AI can recognise your stamppot from a single photo? Our AI technology articles explore the intersection of artificial intelligence and nutrition tracking. You'll find behind-the-scenes looks at how food recognition works, deep dives into the machine learning models that power instant calorie estimates, and honest discussions about where AI excels and where it still has limitations. We also cover broader trends in health tech — from wearable integration to personalised nutrition algorithms. Whether you're a tech enthusiast or simply want to understand how Moveno turns a photo into accurate nutrition data, these articles explain the technology in plain language without the jargon. Moveno combines multiple AI models with a database of over 85,000 food items, including thousands of Dutch supermarket products from Albert Heijn, Jumbo, and other chains. In these articles, you'll learn how that system works end to end: from recognising a plate of nasi goreng to matching a barcode with the correct nutritional values from the Dutch NEVO database. We also discuss privacy considerations in AI-powered food apps, the difference between cloud processing and on-device recognition, and how we continuously improve accuracy using feedback from Dutch users. We tackle uniquely Dutch challenges too, like distinguishing a broodje kaas from a tosti or correctly estimating portion sizes for a stamppot dish. No marketing promises — just an honest look at what AI food recognition can and cannot do in 2026.
