Healthy Eating Application

 Healthy Eating Application

Objective: The objective of this application is to help users decide what to eat based on their real-time health data and available ingredients at home, supporting healthy eating habits and providing new food recipes.

System Components and Working Principle:

Data Collection (Smartwatch and Manual Input):

The user wears a Spovan Electro 2X (or smartwatch with similar capabilities).

This watch measures the user's blood glucose, blood pressure, and blood triglyceride concentration in real-time. The user enters these measured data into the mobile application.

Needs Analysis:

Based on the entered data (blood glucose, blood pressure, triglyceride), the application determines which nutrients (carbohydrates, protein, fat, vitamins, etc.) the user currently requires.

Blood Glucose: Refers to the amount of glucose in the blood unit. It indicates the necessary level of consumption of sugary and fatty foods. For instance, people with high blood glucose are recommended to cut down on starchy food consumption early.

Blood Pressure: Shows the pressure exerted on the vessels by the blood pumped from the heart. This data can be used to adjust salt consumption.

Triglyceride: If the triglyceride level in the blood is high, recommendations such as reducing unhealthy carbohydrate consumption and opting for plant-based oils by avoiding trans fats can be offered.

Meal Recommendation and Recipe Creation:

The user selects the unprocessed foods currently available at home from the application interface.

Based on the information in its database (the proportional carbohydrate, fat, protein, mineral, and vitamin content of each unprocessed food), the application displays to the user the dishes that can be made with these foods at home and the proportional usage amounts of these foods in the meal.

Benefits:

Enables users to make informed decisions about what they should eat at any given moment.

Contributes to a healthy eating regimen.

Allows users to learn new food recipes.
