A Pervasive Nutritional Monitoring and Advise System - NutriMe
NutriMe is presented as a nutritional monitoring and advising system to help individuals to monitor and correct their behaviours and as the main component for a public national observatory on nutritional profiles for public health analysis purposes.
Abstract
It is well known, widely accepted, scientifically proved and published by major governmental and nongovernmental organizations worldwide (e.g. WHO World Health Organization), that nutritional misbehaviour in so called developed countries, is a major cause of diseases, morbidity and death. The phenomenon is mainly felt in aged populations, but a significant increase has also been detected more recently in young populations. This paper presents a proposal to tackle serious social and behavioural problems related to aging and nutrition. NutriMe is presented as a nutritional monitoring and advising system to help individuals to monitor and correct their behaviours. We also propose NutriMe as the main component for a public national observatory on nutritional profiles for public health analysis purposes.
