- Amazfit has introduced an innovative health device to assist you with your eating
- The V1tal is a camera that observes and evaluates your eating habits
- It can monitor calories, macronutrients, and your dining behavior
Amazfit has become a recognized brand in the realm of smart technology and wearables, producing some of the most affordable smartwatches available. However, at CES 2025, the company revealed a revolutionary health device that claims to change the way you consume food – provided you’re comfortable with recording your meals.
As reported by Digital Trends, the Amazfit V1tal is a camera that captures and evaluates your eating. The device is fairly simple – it consists of a conventional camera with a viewfinder, resembling a basic GoPro or DJI model.
However, the impressive aspect lies in the technology within the device and how the V1tal utilizes your eating data. You simply position your V1tal on the table and film yourself having your meal. After eating, V1tal can leverage its recorded footage along with the Amazfit Zepp app to document what you consumed, providing a detailed macronutrient analysis of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. As the article notes, this process bears resemblance to the food-tracking features of MyFitnessPal, but operates automatically through video recording.
Amazfit addresses nutrition
While monitoring food intake and calories is not a groundbreaking concept, current technology is primarily limited to barcode scanning; therefore, introducing video-recorded automation represents a significant advancement – but V1tal is not solely focused on calculating figures.
According to the report, V1tal can also track your eating patterns, such as if you’re neglecting the healthy green components of your meal, or if you’re eating too quickly. This information could aid not only in calorie counting and nutrition, but also in re-evaluating your relationship with food.
It appears that Amazfit is envisioning the V1tal as part of a larger ecosystem of health technology, which also collects data and insights from other devices such as their smartwatches and smart scales.
The V1tal is more than just a camera; it also provides notifications from your smartphone, keeps a to-do list, and even offers traditional video recording capabilities. Amazfit’s executives believe that the V1tal could outperform the generally poorly received Humane AI Pin and Rabbit R1. While the expectations are modest, this indicates that Amazfit may be imagining a more interconnected AI network rather than a standalone health device, which could be a wise approach.
There are currently no confirmed details regarding the V1tal’s pricing or launch date, but Amazfit is reportedly aiming for a release in the first half of this year, making it feel more like a tangible initiative rather than just a speculative idea.
