About Carbo AI

Empowering Africa's Diabetes Nutrition

Carbo AI is an innovative artificial intelligence platform developed to simplify carbohydrate estimation and
improve nutrition education for people living with diabetes and other lifestyle-related conditions. The project
combines nutrition science, artificial intelligence, digital health, and behavioural change to empower
individuals to make informed food choices.


Unlike conventional calorie-counting apps, Carbo AI focuses on Carbohydrate Intelligence®, enabling users to
understand how the carbohydrate content of meals influences blood glucose management. It has been
developed through collaboration between the Technical University of Kenya, the Diabesity Nutrition Centre,
and national and international research partners
