Smart Dietary Monitoring System

The constant evolution of technology has made people health conscious. The market is flooded with smart devices which track an individual´s footsteps, the exercise regime followed, the calories burnt and many such health parameters. The important criterion often ignored which defines an individual´s health is the food consumed. So it is imperative to constantly track what is ingested into the body and its impact on a person´s health. The Smart Dietary Monitoring System (SDMS) is essentially a Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) that provides real time dietary scheduling information. The proposed system can track the user´s dietary intake and replenish behavior through sensors. By integrating this WSN into the "Internet of Things", data can be aggregated in the cloud and analyzed using statistical methods which provide the correlation between the user´s health and his dietary regime. This health data can be used to track as well as guide the user regarding his nutritional needs thus acting as an ideal health assistant.
