We are a group of five science students obtaining bachelor's degrees in either immunology or pharmacology. The project began when we were faced with the task to pick a gastrointestinal disorder and develop a tool which can help individuals better live with their disease. Due to the large impact of Celiac Disease (CD) on patients and their families at a biological, psychological and social level, we decided to develop Continue2eat, a smart device application which can help reduce the number of difficulties associated primarily with a gluten-free diet. Continue2eat will help individuals diagnosed with CD find food products that fit their dietary needs by simply scanning a bar code. Other dietary restrictions are accounted for as well. The application will allow individuals with CD to locate restaurants around them and around the world that fit their diet; whether home or travelling there is no need to fear. Furthermore, the application allows clients to send foods they can consume to friends and family so that they can share preferences and advise them of foods that can be purchased. As a whole, this application will allow the user to eat safely and have peace of mind at every meal.
