Knowtrition - The Grand Challenge Project

For this four-week project, the RCA School of Design partnered with CERN in Geneva, birthplace of the World Wide Web and the Large Hadron Collider. Together we examined how innovative and disruptive technologies can help address the world’s most intractable challenges, by design.

Knowtrition is a smart diet system that supports users in maintaining a well-balanced diet to prevent potential chronic diseases. It consists of a scanner in the form of a transformable biodegradable bioplastic bag; a skin patch that monitors nutrition data in the body and displays real-time information about food; and an app that calculates the nutritional needs of the user based on food purchasing history and health data.

For the future development of the bioplastic bag, the velcro will be replaced with sustainable alternatives.
