Patent number: 9685097Abstract: Devices and methods for detecting an eating activity occurrence are provided. A device includes a sensor for monitoring movement of a portion of an arm of a subject, and a processor in communication with the sensor for collecting raw data associated with movement of the portion of the arm. The processor is configured to process the raw data and form processed data. The processed data includes a determination of whether an eating activity has occurred. A method includes sensing movement of a portion of an arm of a subject, and processing raw data associated with the movement of the portion of the arm of the subject to form processed data. The processed data includes a determination of whether an eating activity has occurred.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2014Date of Patent: June 20, 2017Assignee: Clemson UniversityInventors: Adam Hoover, Eric Muth, Yujie Dong, Jenna Scisco

Patent number: 8310368Abstract: The present invention relates to a device that can be used in individual weight control protocols that is capable of detecting in real time information with regard to number of bites taken, time between bites, and so forth. The weight control device can detect bites through motion detection via a sensor worn on the wrist or hand of a user. The device can include notification capabilities that can alert a user as to excessive eating speed, excessive amounts of food intake, and the like so as to provide immediate feedback for purposes of weight control.Type: GrantFiled: January 13, 2010Date of Patent: November 13, 2012Assignee: Clemson University Research FoundationInventors: Adam Hoover, Eric Muth, Yujie Dong
