How does the food measurement work? a spectrometer? ... seems fishy to me

> We've built proprietary technology that uses different wavelengths of light to look into the blood stream and detect metabolites as they are released during and after your meals. This allows AIRO to measure caloric intake and even the quality of meals consumed.

They'd make a fortune if they had bloodless glucose testing. The diabetic market is enormous.

Agreed, this is either amazing, or crap. The suspicious part of me assumes crap. But I'd like to be wrong. This could do utterly amazing things for our understanding of nutrition if there was an easy way to monitor everything that someone ate. The quality of studies would skyrocket.

Congrats to Abhi and the rest of the Airo team! Nice work guys.
