About

Public Health England awarded a contract to The George Institute for Global Health for the Foodswitch licence agreement via STA, supporting PHE's Change4Life Food Scanner app to help parents take control of their children's snacking.

The George Institute for Global Health sources data not covered by PHE's supplier, physically documenting product information and returning results.

This data is vital for the Food Scanner to ensure a better user experience.

The current software includes a crowdsourcing functionality within the app, allowing users to photograph products not found in the database and send them through an API for processing by The George Institute for Global Health's team, with results returned to PHE for surfacing within the app.

The contract value is £40,000.
