FIRST SUBMISSION 2002: SUMMARY OF PROPOSAL

Foodcounts was conceived in 1999 years ago by a small group of contract system designers. The internet domain was purchased in February 2000. The trademark and software specification was registered with the UK Patent Office in November 2000.

Foodcounts was originally planned as a multi-level food information service. It represented brand new concept in home food management, providing a complete range of food-chain information to complement on-line ordering to the main food-sellers, yet in format accessible to all food consumers. We applied state-of-the-art neural network technology both in terms of database design and voice connection interfacings

We conducted considerable product and market research both nationally and globally are were satisfied our applications were unique.

Our project reflected the objectives of the Foresight Directorate:
