Nowadays, a balanced diet is acknowledged to be fundamental for a healthy lifestyle, by having an impact on individuals’ well-being. In fact you project is Zen0, that aims at creating a user-friendly and goal-driven support system for patients and nutritionists to improve prescribed eating plan adherence rate and their dietary success, enabling semi-automatic provisioning of a dietary plan as a support for the nutritionist and an adherence monitoring system. For example, a post-cheating recovery adaptive system is provided to help patients accepting cheating episodes in a guilty-free condition and in setting up weekly lifestyle plan post cheating. Moreover, Zen0 mission is pursued by simplifying patient daily activities tracking and monitoring through an automatic data entry system, optimizing the tradeoff between patient’s active role and data frequency requests. It is therefore possible to use domain-driven machine-learning tools and methodologies able to deal with missing values and to implement a system to give feedbacks to the users.A first Zen0 trial will be held during the NECST Group Conference. Since the 11th May, every participant in Milano will have the food diary, similar to the one they will have during the period of the NGC, to keep confidence to this instrument and to report any useful feedback. During the presentation, we will explain how the food diary work and which are the rules of the game.
The NECSTLab is a DEIB laboratory, with different research lines on advanced topics in computing systems: from architectural characteristics, to hardware-software codesign methodologies, to security and dependability issues of complex system architectures. Every week, the “NECST Friday Talk” invites researchers, professionals or entrepreneurs to share their work experiences and projects they are implementing in the “Computing Systems”.
