Dynamic System to Capture and Assess Calories and Nutrients Inputs to Provide Dietary Recommendations
First Claim
1. A dietary system for capturing and assessing calories and nutrients inputs so to provide dietary recommendations comprising:
- a digital mat having a first microprocessor, a first memory, a load cell, a first wireless interface and a first power supply;
a digital device having a second microprocessor, a second memory, a second wireless interface and a second power supply;
said second wireless interface coupled to said first wireless interface;
wherein load cell data from said load cell is received by said first microprocessor and transmitted via said first wireless interface to said second wireless interface;
wherein said load cell data is received by said second wireless interface and coupled to a food item by said microprocessor;
wherein calorie and nutrient information is determined for said food item and load data and stored in said second memory.

Abstract
The present invention provides a method and apparatus to dynamically capture and assess calories and nutrients inputs from foods and beverages to perform calories and nutrients gap analysis based on personal goals and demographics, and to provide dietary recommendations to help people live a healthy life. The dynamic Cloud-based system efficiently and interactively captures calories and nutrients inputs, and enables users access to the data anywhere they have internet access. Furthermore, the system also allows users to monitor their gap and progress made according to personal dietary goals, and provides dietary recommendations. An optimization utility takes into account demographics, health and dietary history, goals and cuisine preferences.
