How to use HealthLens
A quick tour of every feature.
1. Set up your health profile first
HealthLens AI only works if it knows what you're sensitive to. Go to Profile and pick your conditions (lactose intolerant, nut allergy, MGD, pregnancy, etc.). Add free-text notes too — you can even 🎙️ tap Dictate and just talk.
2. Scan a product with your camera
- 1Take a photo — Front of the package, back, side — any angle works.
- 2Hold MULTIPLE products in one shot — HealthLens AI will identify each and rank them best → worst.
- 3Wait 15–30 seconds — Claude visits the brand's website, reads real ingredients, checks reviews, compares prices.
3. Scan things from your phone screen
Browsing Instagram, Amazon, Sephora, a friend's text? You don't need to save anything to your gallery.
- Screenshots: Take a screenshot of the product. Open HealthLens AI, go to Scan, tap 📋 Paste screenshot or link. Your clipboard gets read, product identified, scanned.
- Product URLs: Copy a product link from Safari/Amazon/ Sephora. Same button — paste the link, Claude fetches the page.
4. Compare multiple products
- 1Hold 2–5 products together — All in one photo, any angle.
- 2HealthLens AI rates each one — Personalized 0–100 scores based on YOUR conditions.
- 3See the winner — The best match for your profile, with alternatives.
5. Tap alternatives to auto-rate them
When a product is flagged, HealthLens AI suggests better options in the Try instead box. Tap any suggestion — it researches that product and shows a fresh rating. Scroll through 3–4 alternatives in 30 seconds.
6. Save products you love
On any result page, tap the 🤍 heart in the top-right of the score card. It saves to My Products — your personal library of products you trust, with their photos, scores, and best prices.
7. Compare prices across stores
Every result has a 💰 Where to buy section at the bottom. Tap to expand — prices across Amazon, Walmart, Target, Sephora, Ulta, CVS, Walgreens, iHerb, Costco, Whole Foods, and the brand's own site. The cheapest gets a green BEST badge. Tap any row to go buy it.
8. Fix a wrong identification
Sometimes the AI picks the wrong variant. On the result page, tap 🤔 Wrong product?, type the exact name, and HealthLens AI re-researches the right one.
