  • Patent number: 11244752
    Abstract: Systems and methods for recommending foods to a user based on health data, includes a database, a memory and a processor. The database stores user health data for each user within a plurality of users, including vitals, genotypic and phenotypic data, user food preference data and foods data that includes macronutrient and micronutrient data for foods that may be recommended to a user. The memory stores program instructions, including program instructions that are capable of (i) classifying user health data into predetermined diet types and micronutrient recommendations, (ii) filtering the food data to determine available foods for a user; (iii) a ranking available meals for the user based on the micronutrient recommendations and the food data, and (iv) translating micronutrient recommendations and/or food data for the available foods for the user into specific food recommendations for the user.

  • Publication number: 20030065257
    Abstract: A diet and activity-monitoring device includes a housing configured to be mounted on the subject and a display integral with the housing for displaying information to the subject. The device also includes a body activity monitor operatively disposed within the housing for monitoring the body activity of the subject, a consumption notation control operable by the subject to indicate food consumption, and a timer operable to output a time indicative signal. The device further includes a processor operable to receive and process the body activity signal, time indicative signal and the food consumption signal, for use in determining a food consumption indicator or a body activity indicator, that is stored in a memory portion of the processor for recall by the subject on the display screen.

  • Patent number: 6513532
    Abstract: A diet and activity-monitoring device includes a timer which outputs a time-indicative signal. A body activity monitor monitors the body activity of a subject and outputs a signal indicative of the body activity. A consumption notation control is provided which the subject may operate to indicate when they consume food. An activity calculator receives the body activity signal and determines a body activity level for the subject. A consumption calculator communicates with the consumption notation control and receives the time-indicative signal. The consumption calculator determines and stores the times when the consumption location control is operated.

  • Publication number: 20020109600
    Abstract: A personal activity monitor adapted to be supported on the body of the user, preferably on the wrist, includes a motion sensor such as an accelerometer to generate electrical signals as a function of body motion. The monitor also includes an electronic clock and a memory for recording signals representative of the motion of the housing and their time of occurrence. User entry keys on the monitor allow the entry of signals representative of the time of food consumption and the beginning and end of exercise activity. Other activity and condition sensors may be supported on the monitor such as pulse rate detector, camera for recording images of food consumed, barcode reader and the like. The output of the memory is useful in weight control and fitness logging systems.
