Description
Xinera by FoodTrack, made by Bay Technologies in Hong Kong, is a mobile wellness app that combines photo-based meal scanning with Traditional Chinese Medicine-style face and tongue readings. It targets people who want a daily read on their health without wearable hardware, though a hardware option exists for those who want one.

The free tier, called Xinera Explore, allows two food photo scans a day for a nutritional breakdown, plus one face-and-tongue camera reading a week that looks at colour, coating and texture to give a sense of the user's current balance. Each morning the app produces one insight and one small suggested action, such as a dietary change or a different rest schedule. The company is explicit that Xinera doesn't diagnose conditions or produce a score to chase, and that readings are generated automatically without review by a practitioner.
The paid membership tier removes daily scan limits, allowing unlimited meal scans and face-and-tongue readings, and includes a companion smart ring worn continuously to track activity, sleep and heart rate, feeding a combined "Balance Wheel" view alongside the scan data. Membership also includes an annual consultation with an independent, licensed TCM practitioner and partner privileges; a smart scale is planned for early 2027 and will be included for members at no extra charge if it launches during their membership year. As of the app's listing, membership is available starting in Hong Kong, with other markets to follow, and is sold through xinera.ai rather than inside the app because it includes hardware and in-person services.
The core app and Xinera Explore tier are free with in-app purchases; the Hong Kong membership pricing is handled on the company's website rather than through the app.
Xinera states plainly that it is a wellness app, not a medical device, that it does not diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any condition, and that nutritional estimates are approximations. The company recommends consulting a healthcare professional before changing diet, exercise or medication, particularly for pregnant or breastfeeding users or those managing a medical condition. The app carries a 9+ age rating and states a minimum user age of 13.
