Method and Apparatus for Monitoring Diet and Activity

摘要

A method and apparatus includes a memory, a display and user input module, a camera and micro spectroscopy module, and one or more communication modules communicably coupled to a processor. The processor is configured to capture one or more images and spectroscopy data of the food(s) using the camera and micro spectroscopy module, determine a food type and food amount for each of the food(s) using the image(s) and spectroscopy data, perform a dietary analysis of the food(s) based on the food type and food amount determined from the image(s) and spectroscopy data, determine the set of nutritional data for the food(s) based on the dietary analysis, and provide the set of nutritional data for the food(s) to the memory, the display and user input module or the one or more communication modules.

主权项

1. A computerized method for providing a set of nutritional data for one or more foods, comprising the steps of:
providing a portable device comprising a memory, a display and user input module, a camera and micro spectroscopy module, and one or more communication modules communicably coupled to a processor; capturing one or more images and spectroscopy data of the one or more foods using the camera and micro spectroscopy module; determining a food type and a food amount for each of the one or more foods using the one or more images and spectroscopy data; performing a dietary analysis of the one or more foods based on the food type and the food amount determined from the one or more images and spectroscopy data; determining the set of nutritional data for the one or more foods based on the dietary analysis; and providing the set of nutritional data for the one or more foods to the memory, the display and user input module or the one or more communication modules.
