Balance you diet, improve your life
Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are the leading cause of mortality and disability worldwide. A balanced diet is a cornerstone in the prevention of both the onset and the progression of NCDs. The Mediterranean diet (MD), characterized by its balance not only in the consumed food, but also in the frequency of the meals, has demonstrated efficacy to decrease NCD risk among high risk and general populations.
The ARTORG Center of the University of Bern, Oviva and the Epidemiology, Biostatistics and Prevention Institute (EBPI), part of the Faculty of Medicine and the Faculty of Science of the University of Zurich with the support of Innosuisse – Swiss Innovation Agency and the Swiss Academy of Engineering Sciences (SATW) set out to develop a AI-based system running on smartphones for the automatic dietary intake assessment with respect to MD based on the analysis of single food images.
