Co-founded in 2024 by KWOK Ka Po and CHAK Chi Shing, a Computer Science and Engineering (Artificial Intelligence) graduate from the Chinese University of Hong Kong, Body Nova combines Chinese Medicine theories with Western nutritional science to create an innovative framework for analyzing and deconstructing food. The company has collaborated with several food and beverage brands to add dual annotations from both Chinese medicine and nutritional science perspectives to their menus. It has also engaged registered Chinese medicine practitioners and medical doctors to provide menu design consultancy services for these brands. In July, the company launched the "Dine Well AI" app, providing personalized nutrition tracking and analysis.
