The firmware behind a smart plate for picky eaters
2024 · CORNELL REV INCUBATOR
Plateful
An interactive plate for picky eater kids, for the startup Plateful.
LOG · WHAT IT IS AND WHAT IT DOES
A smart plate for picky eaters. Weight sensors under its sections track what gets eaten, while lights, sound and a companion app turn the meal into a game that rewards kids for trying healthy food.
WHY
Engineering work at the Cornell Rev incubator, where we make products for startups.
WHAT I WORKED ON
I was in charge of firmware design: the firmware, a little bit of electronics, and testing.
WHAT CAME OF IT
I believe the startup is still going: it joined Intuit's 2025 IDEAS program, and was featured in World Health Leaders magazine.
