What can I scan with Decido?
You can scan food products via barcode and objects or tools through the camera flow in the Objects section.
How do I get better scan results?
Keep the barcode fully in frame, use good lighting, avoid blur and glare, and follow the on-screen instructions.
Why do some products not show a score?
Some categories do not receive a score by design. In those cases Decido still shows useful information when available.
Why does the app say there is not enough data?
Sometimes available product data is incomplete, outdated, or too limited for a full analysis. The app avoids potentially misleading output.
How is the score for food products calculated?
The food score is a general indication designed to help you make more conscious choices, not medical advice. Our internal algorithm evaluates each product based on three main pillars: 1. Nutritional profile: we analyze nutritional values using recognized standards like the Nutri-Score. 2. Degree of processing: we evaluate how processed the food is, referring to the NOVA group classification. 3. Additives analysis: we cross-reference the additives present with scientific literature to evaluate their potential impact. These elements are weighted and combined by our system to offer you a synthetic, easy-to-interpret evaluation, without replacing your own judgment or professional guidance.
How is the score for tools calculated?
The score for tools is an indication designed to evaluate daily use, not an absolute safety certification. Our system analyzes the materials that make up the tool by comparing them with available scientific and toxicological literature. Based on this data, we evaluate the stability of the material and the potential risk of releasing unwanted substances (such as microplastics, endocrine disruptors, or heavy metals) over time, with wear, and at different temperatures. The goal is to translate complex technical data into a practical guide for your purchases.
Can I treat Decido as medical advice?
No. Decido supports informed decisions but does not replace medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
