Personalized meal generation
Generate a full day meal plan using profile, goals, restrictions, and diet settings.
AI-assisted nutrition planning for complex dietary needs
Personalized meal planning for people with autoimmune conditions.
Autoimmune Meals combines structured dietary rules, food data, and AI-assisted recommendations to help users create safer daily meal plans.
Built as a supportive planning tool. It does not diagnose, treat, or replace professional medical advice.
Why this matters
Around 20 million people in the United States live with autoimmune diagnoses.
Autoimmune diseases are one of the most common and fast-growing groups of chronic conditions. They include psoriasis, type 1 diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, celiac disease, and many other conditions. For many people, nutrition is a key part of daily self-management, but it requires constant adaptation and careful attention.
Problem
Dietary guidance is often difficult to translate into real meals.
People with autoimmune and chronic inflammatory symptoms often need to follow strict or highly individualized dietary protocols. In practice, this creates a daily burden: recipes may contain incompatible ingredients, users must manually adapt meals, and mistakes can contribute to symptom flare-ups or reduced quality of life.
Many people also lack a simple digital tool that translates restrictions into practical, everyday meals without adding more cognitive load.
Solution
An AI assistant that turns restrictions into practical meal options.
Autoimmune Meals combines a user health and nutrition profile, structured dietary rules, food and recipe data, and AI-assisted recommendations. Users can generate a daily menu, create individual meals or recipes, replace unsuitable dishes, review ingredients and estimated calories, edit meals manually, and save the final plan.
The system is designed to support dietary planning within defined diet boundaries, including ingredient compatibility, recipe adaptation, meal replacement, and nutrition data such as calories, protein, fats, and carbohydrates.
Product capabilities
Focused tools for safer, faster nutrition planning.
The interface is being structured around repeatable meal-planning tasks that are hard and time-consuming to do manually.
Recipe generation
Create detailed recipes for selected meals with ingredients and preparation guidance.
Meal replacement
Replace one unsuitable meal without regenerating the entire daily menu.
Structured food database
Use organized food, recipe, and restriction data to support more consistent outputs.
Saved meal plans
Save edited daily menus so users can reuse or review practical meal decisions.
Editable menu
Keep the user in control with manual editing before a plan is saved or followed.
How it works
A simple flow from profile to daily meal output.
User profile
Dietary preferences, goals, symptoms, calorie target, restrictions, and settings.
Structured dietary rules
Food compatibility, protocol rules, ingredient exclusions, and nutrition context.
AI processing
Claude API assists with menu, recipe, replacement, and explanation generation.
Daily meal output
Breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snack cards with editable details and nutrition data.

Backend
Node.js / Express API for app logic and AI requests.
Database
PostgreSQL for profile, food, recipe, and rule data.
AI integration
Claude API for meal, recipe, and replacement generation.
Responsible AI and safety
Clear boundaries for health-related nutrition support.
Autoimmune Meals is not a medical device and does not provide diagnosis, treatment, or medical advice. The product frames outputs as meal-planning assistance and keeps the user in control through review, manual editing, and professional-guidance disclaimers.
The long-term direction includes expert review of diet rules, safer prompt design, validation with users and domain specialists, and clearer accessibility guidance.
Community direction
Beyond planning: support, shared experience, and patient-reported insight.
In the long term, Autoimmune Meals can become a support platform that connects people with similar diagnoses, symptoms, dietary protocols, and daily challenges. A community layer can reduce isolation, support motivation, and help users exchange practical experience.
With appropriate privacy, consent, and responsible research practices, the platform may also help collect real patient-reported feedback about food reactions, adherence barriers, and perceived outcomes. These insights can support future collaboration with clinicians, dietitians, researchers, and patient communities.
Current stage
MVP in active development.
The project is currently at the MVP stage. An early product demo exists, active development is ongoing, and the current focus is preparing a strong demo, improving the user flow, validating the concept, and positioning the product for grant funding and pilot development.
