Gyroscope Launches New AI Health Camera for Optimized Fat Loss

Today Gyroscope launched Version 8 of its popular iPhone app, delivering three major innovations in one seamless system to optimize health:

• Fat Loss Protocol – A data-driven protocol designed to reduce body fat while maintaining muscle mass
• Health Camera – Intuitive food tracking and coaching system with just the iPhone camera, no wearables needed
• Integrated AI Coach – A 24/7 AI health guardian that understands your data and helps you reach your goals

Just like the iPhone combined a camera, GPS, and web browser into a new tool that enabled new experiences, V8 combines these powerful tools for a new, simpler and smarter OS for the human body.

Tracking & improving nutrition

Powered by a photo from the in-app camera, the app accurately detects calories, macros, fiber, sugar, caffeine, alcohol, micronutrients and much more. Free members now have access to calories and macros, while the G1 membership adds more detection and grading.

“With our photo food tracking, I’ve been able to log pretty much everything I’ve eaten for the past 6 years. Before that, I liked tracking but was just too busy to type in every ingredient” said Gyroscope founder, Anand Sharma. “With Food XRAY, it’s not only easier—it’s gotten far more accurate, and instant.”

The Gyroscope Food XRAY system was first tested in 2019 as part of the experimental Gyroscope X program, powered by a team of real human nutritionists for maximum accuracy. The latest generation of Food XRAY 8 now combines human intelligence with the latest AI models to offer the most accurate food tracking system possible, while also being convenient and sustainable long-term.

The app constantly learn about your habits and what you eat, to becomes even more accurate for your meals, requiring minimal manual labeling or correction, and keeping the process as sustainable as possible.

The new AI Health Camera builds on this foundation, continuing the intuitive pattern of just taking a photo for tracking much more than food and calories. The same camera can now detect coffee, alcohol, supplements and much more, with the same easy to use tracker.

Premium members can now also take a photo of any food menu to get instant personalized recommendations. Powered by the latest reasoning models, the system now considers actual targets, blood levels, preferences and thousands of data points to make sure the insight is truly the best possible option for the user.

For optimal body composition

“Knowing your calories is helpful, but not enough,” said Sharma. “We had that in the early days, but we found you really need a coach to translate that raw data into action—and especially to keep you accountable once the excitement wears off or life gets busy. Now people are actually excited to get more fiber and fill up their bars to hit their daily targets. Seeing how all these things connect to your Health Score and even affect how long you will live can be a game changer, compared to the current good but generic advice that is easy to ignore.”

With millions of people now on GLP-1 medications, managing lifestyle and preserving muscle mass is more important than ever before.

The new Fat Loss Protocol helps members use all this data for successful weight loss, along with a completely free course teaching the latest science and best practices with instructional videos, cheatsheets, guides and more. It guides members through the right combination of sleep, strength training, protein intake and other lifestyle factors, which are extremely important but can be challenging to do without the right tools or knowledge of why they matter.

Following the protocol, members see a simple checklist and insights in the app—all automatically measured using the Gyroscope platform and data from the AI health camera.

The platform automatically connects to Apple Watch, Oura, Whoop, Garmin, Fitbit, Dexcom, Eight Sleep, Wifi scales and thousands of other devices—building a complete, real-time model of your body and mind.

This allows for continuous monitoring of all the metrics to detect issues, such as an increase in sleep debt or weakening of immune function and signs of impending sickness. With early warnings, these problems can be prevented or quickly resolved rather than spiraling out of control.

Meet your all-in-one coach

Gyroscope has partnered with OpenAI to use the latest technology to improve human health. V8 adds cutting-edge capabilities from the newest generation of models like extended reasoning and improved voice detection to the coaching experience. This provides a massive increase in intelligence and accuracy from previous versions, and better real-world results for people’s bodyfat and overall health.

With this new intelligence also comes a new intuitive interface.

In addition to the chat, the new app features a brand new coaching feed, designed to provide curated and trusted content, including personalized quizzes, videos, guides and even custom meditations or recipes.

It looks like a social media feed from Instagram or TikTok, but instead of being optimized to scroll longer and click more ads, the algorithm’s objective is to make the user live longer.

How much does it cost?

The premium Gyroscope One (G1) membership provides an entire suite of trackers and personalized coaching, including custom workouts, meditations and recipes—all in one place for just $39/month, a fraction of the cost of previous approaches like GLP1 medications or hiring a team of expert coaches.

Gyroscope’s signature trackers like Food XRAY and Places can now be used for free. The new Basics tier includes essential trackers, providing 30 days of storage and 5 AI tokens daily for people who want to start tracking but aren’t ready for the full coaching experience.

Premium members unlock unlimited storage and all the advanced AI capabilities, as well as discounted blood tests to see how their lifestyle affects their insulin, apoB, CRP, Vitamin D, and other longevity biometrics.

“Our mission is to make great health accessible to everyone,” said Sharma. “We’ve built the best app we can, that we think people will really enjoy using daily—but fixing the food system and ending obesity and diabetes are much bigger problems than we can tackle on our own. We really need millions of people working together to make it happen. So we’re removing the barriers, reducing the cost to 0 for many of our top trackers and courses, and asking our members to help us spread this message of health to everyone they care about.”

Gyroscope V8 is now available worldwide in the Apple App Store.
