ic-Cube— Fridge Alert and Recipe creator 

Rememberer, alerter and maker of healthy recipe’s from your own fridge 

What is it?
The ic-cube is a reminder, alerter and most of all creator of great recipe’s from all the foods in your fridge. Not only that it prevents eating out of date, potentially dangerous food.

It’s a simple and stylish cylindrical device that fits in your fridge that sends audible, visual notifications each time you open your fridge door.

How does it work?
The unit is connected to your home network via WiFi and can be accessed anywhere you are via the net and your favourite mobile device.

Install the ic-cube app on your mobile device and either scan packaged food bar-codes take a photo or enter products in manually. The ic-cube app will automatically find out the optimal safe storage length based on the product, food type and also on the temperature of your fridge.

Then what?
The ic-cube is always detecting the temperature in your fridge sending mobile alerts if the fridge temp has risen to unsafe temperatures.
When next you open the fridge the ic-cube will let you know if any food is out of date and not safe to eat. Also if the temperature is to high and if things are starting to turn. This is achieved by one of 3 coloured LED’s or an audible alert of your choice.

ic-Alerts
Blue for temperature alert
Orange for foods close to expire date
Red for foods are expired and are potentially unsafe to eat

ic-Reports
The ic-cube app reporting capability is were insights into your habits and health will come from. It’s here you can really get some understanding of what it is your spending most on and were you’re getting most of your calorie intake from. Thus giving you the information to make some real positive changes to your life.
Filling the fitness wearable gap
Reports are exportable so you can easily integrate your data into other health applications of your choice. ic-cube will be open enough to allow integration into other wearable devices. ic-cube will give your fitness device additional data it can use to give you further insights into your fitness and health.

ic-Reminders
The reminder capability can be set to trigger on a range of options. Anything from the milk going out of date or to remind you to eat the veggies in the crisper.

ic-Chef
As you can see the ic-cube wears multiple hats. However it still has another hat and that’s creating great recipe’s from anything you have currently in your fridge. Just choose what kind of meal you’re looking for e.g. ‘Healthy breakfast ideas’ and it will return a range of recipe’s you can try. It’s that simple.

What next
The iC-cube is currently just in concept phase. Their is much work to be done around the application and hardware. All this requires funding to get to the next level. At this point however I don’t have enough to get past giving you a taste of what such a system could bring. So until then it will wait until some day it can become a reality.
