What AiDia does

AiDia helps diabetes patients manage their carbohydrate intake and insulin needs using AI-powered food analysis. Users take photos of meals to get instant nutritional information, track physical activity, receive personalized AI coaching, and monitor their HbA1c goals.

  • We never sell your personal information
  • You can delete all data anytime
  • HTTPS encryption for all network communications
  • Full compliance with GDPR, CCPA, and other privacy laws

2. Data Collection
