Alternative Diet Logging Mechanism

Project Overview

Obesity is the fastest growing expense in the Unites States healthcare system. Obesity manifests itself in serious problems in nearly every organ system in the body. Often individuals are advised to keep a log of their diet to better appreciate what and how much they are eating or as part of a nutritional study. However, self-administered logs are notoriously inaccurate and hard to maintain even over a short interval. Written logs are especially cumbersome for younger individuals. In this project, we will develop a fun method for young people to log their diets, likely using a visual device-based system.
