ShelfSense is a smart freezer companion that scans barcodes, tracks expiry dates and locations, and reminds you before food goes to waste — designed with older adults, caregivers, and households in mind.
The Silent Cost of Forgetting Food
Every year, billions of Euros worth of food is wasted.
Older adults forget what’s in their freezer.
Care homes struggle to manage bulk food storage.
Families lose nutrition and money when food expires unnoticed.
Food waste is not just about money — it’s about health, safety, and dignity.
