School meal programs are a critical component of public health and education, yet ensuring consistent food quality and hygiene remains a significant logistical and administrative challenge. Traditional oversight, often reliant on infrequent, top-down inspections, fails to capture the daily experiences of the primary consumers: the students. This paper proposes a conceptual framework for the "Hygiene Oversight and Meal Experience" (HOME) application, a digital ecosystem designed to close this accountability loop. The HOME app empowers students to provide structured, real-time feedback on daily meals, focusing on specific, actionable indicators such as food quality, cleanliness of serving areas, and staff hygiene. This data is aggregated into a web-based administrative dashboard, providing nutrition staff and administrators with continuous, actionable insights and AI-powered trend analysis. By transforming students from passive recipients into active participants in a public health surveillance network, the HOME app creates a system of "reciprocal accountability." We posit that this real-time, transparent feedback mechanism, grounded in Social Cognitive Theory, will directly influence the behavioural and environmental factors in the school cafeteria, leading to demonstrable improvements in hygiene practices and food quality. This paper details the system architecture, theoretical foundations, and the "Feedback-to-Action" protocol of the HOME app, presenting a novel, scalable, and technology-driven solution to a persistent public health challenge.
