  • Publication number: 20160306931
    Abstract: A healthcare system for personalized healthcare includes a user interface for gathering user related data of nutrition or medicaments consumed by the user, and genetic information of the user. The system also includes a research interface for gathering genetic backgrounds of different illnesses in relation to nutrition or environmental factors, and a health care practitioner interface for gathering user related data of user's health state, personalized treatment or history data. The system provides recommendations of optimal personalized nutrition or medication for the user to reach the optimal nutritive, metabolic and/or health state based on: data of nutrition or medicaments consumed by the user, genetic information of the user, genetic backgrounds of different illnesses in relation to nutrition or environmental factors, user's health state, and personalized treatment or history data of the user. The recommendations are then delivered to the user or health care practitioners via corresponding interfaces.

  • Patent number: 7638148
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a drink composition comprising active agents, and to a method for composing a drink. Specifically, the invention is directed to a drink composition to be used during long-lasting sports activities demanding constant energy supply and intensive concentration. The drink composition of the invention in characterized in that it contains glucose, fructose, guarana, and a physiologically active amount of a pycnogenol extract. The method of the invention in characterized in that the active agents are individually selected on the basis of the characteristics of the target group, single user and/or conditions of use, said active agents having at least partly complementing actions.

  • Patent number: 7295889
    Abstract: A nutrition dispenser (100) for producing doses of nutrition and/or medication and a method for producing the doses with the help of the nutrition dispenser. A database arrangement is linked to the nutrition dispenser (100), and further, the nutrition dispenser typically includes the user interface (102) for feeding at least the information of the user, and rooms (108) for storing different nutrients and/or medical substances. In addition, the nutrition dispenser is arranged to define the optimal dose of nutrition and/or medication intended for the person consuming the dose, and its ingredients, amounts and proportions of ingredients at least partly with the help of the database arrangement. The nutrition dispenser can further comprise the equipment (110) for measuring out the defined nutrients.
