Bariscan is a bariatric barcode scanner app for Android. Scan a packaged food barcode and get an instant Bariatric Suitability Score from 0–100 based on six factors: sugar, protein, fat and dumping risk, fiber, ingredient quality, and calorie density. It also suggests bariatric-friendlier swaps in the same category.

Which bariatric procedures is Bariscan designed for?

Bariscan is designed for patients who have had Gastric Sleeve, Gastric Bypass, or Lap-Band procedures.

Does Bariscan work offline?

Yes. After the initial load, Bariscan works offline, which is especially helpful in grocery stores with weak cell signal.

Does Bariscan replace my bariatric care team?

No. Bariscan is a decision-support tool that helps reduce day-to-day grocery guesswork. It does not replace the guidance of your bariatric surgeon, dietitian, or physician.

Less Guesswork in Every Aisle

Grocery shopping after bariatric surgery can be stressful. Labels are confusing, hidden sugar appears in unexpected places, and foods that look healthy may still trigger nausea, fatigue, or dumping.

Bariscan turns a barcode scan into a simple score and a clear explanation, helping you compare crowded shelves without doing nutrition-label math on the spot.
