Eat Smart Game is an innovative digital solution that integrates AI Hand Detection technology to address the issue of childhood malnutrition and promote healthy eating habits among school students. This innovation focuses on the growing tendency of children to choose junk food instead of nutritious school meals. Through an interactive learning environment and AI-based gamification, the game creates a fun and engaging educational experience that encourages students to understand the importance of balanced nutrition and healthy food choices.
     The prototype was developed in collaboration with the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, UiTM Shah Alam, using the Design and Development Research (DDR) Methodology to ensure effectiveness, usability, and user engagement. The implementation of AI Hand Detection enables students to interact with the game naturally without the need for additional devices or controllers, making the learning process more immersive and accessible.
      The findings of the study demonstrate that the Eat Smart Game significantly improved students’ nutritional awareness scores and encouraged healthier, more sustainable eating behaviours. Furthermore, this innovation supports the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by integrating modern technology into health education and fostering a generation that is more conscious of healthy lifestyle practices and nutritional wellbeing.
