For clinical trials and research

Dietary intake capture for clinical trials and research.

BiteRight makes dietary intake easier for study participants to record and easier for research teams to analyse. Participants log each meal by photo, voice or text as they eat, and every entry comes back as structured data: recognised foods, estimated weight and nutrient amounts. Researchers review and export the logs in the dietitian portal, or integrate the API into the study's own app.

Why dietary data is hard to collect

Food diaries and recalls ask a lot of participants, and adherence drops as a study goes on. Entries arrive late, incomplete or hard to code.

Logging a meal with a photo or a short voice note takes less effort, and every entry comes back as structured nutrient data ready to analyse.

How it works, step by step.

Example: Example Research Unit, a fictional study team.

  1. Step 1

    Participants are enrolled

    A 14-day nutrition sub-study asks participants to log every meal.

  2. Step 2

    Meals are logged as they happen

    Participants photograph meals or describe them in a voice note, in English or Arabic.

  3. Step 3

    Each meal becomes structured data

    BiteRight returns the foods, estimated weight, calories, macronutrients and micronutrients for each entry.

  4. Step 4

    The team reviews and exports

    Coordinators check entries in the portal and export the meal logs for analysis.

What BiteRight does not do.

  • Nutrient values are estimates. Validate BiteRight against your study's reference method before relying on it as an outcome measure.
  • BiteRight does not claim clinical validation or certification as an ePRO or eCOA system.

Questions we hear.

Can participants use the BiteRight app, or do we need our own app?

Either. Participants can log in the BiteRight app and connect to your study team's portal, or your study app can call the BiteRight API.

Can we export the data?

Yes. The portal can export participants' meal logs.

Which nutrients are returned?

Calories, protein, carbohydrate, fat, fibre and sugar, plus vitamins, minerals, omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids and caffeine where the food data includes them.

Does it work for studies in the Middle East?

Yes. The API accepts Arabic for all inputs, and the food data includes a Bahraini food-composition database and localised Middle Eastern dishes.

Has BiteRight been validated for research use?

BiteRight makes no validation claim. We recommend comparing it with your reference method, such as weighed records or 24-hour recalls, in a pilot.

Where is participant data stored?

BiteRight runs on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest, hosting can be regional, and a data processing agreement (DPA) is available for business customers.
