Abstract: A method for detecting and affirming intent to consume a supplement includes: at a wearable device worn on a hand of a user, broadcasting a wireless interrogation signal; and receiving an inbound wireless identifier responsive to the wireless interrogation signal. The method also includes, in response to the inbound wireless identifier matching a tag identifier linked to a supplement in a user profile associated with the user: detecting proximity of the supplement to the user; predicting intent of the user to consume a dose of the supplement; retrieving a consumption window for the supplement from a supplement regimen in the user account; and. in response to the current time falling outside of the consumption window, vibrating the wearable device according to a second vibration pattern during a haptic consumption avoidance cycle to prompt the user to delay consumption of the supplement.

Abstract: One variation of a method for populating user accounts with profiles of supplements includes: extrapolating a degree of an effect of a first supplement on a health goal, selected by a user, from a scientific study based on an ingredient of the first supplement selected by the user; presenting, to the user, the degree of the effect; presenting, to the user, a representation of prevalence of the first supplement by demographic within a population of users; presenting, to the user, a set of reviews of the first supplement within the native application submitted by a subset of users within the population associated with user profiles linked to the first supplement for greater than a threshold duration of time; and in response to confirmation of the first supplement profile at the native application, adding a profile for the first supplement profile to a user profile associated with the user.

Abstract: One variation of a method for tracking consumption of supplements by a user includes, at a software program executing on a mobile computing device: receiving a selection of a supplement, from a set of known supplements, contained in a supplement package of a particular packaging format; loading a supplement profile of the supplement into a user profile; rendering an instruction for placement of a tracker on the supplement based on the packaging format; retrieving a motion model, from a set of motion models for characterizing a consumption event at the packaging format; and uploading the motion model to the tracker. The method also includes, at the tracker: characterizing motion of the supplement package as a consumption event based on the motion model; and transmitting a time of the consumption event to the mobile computing device.
