Diet Consultation Using Artificial Intelligence

Abstract

India accounts for around 11% of the total number of diabetes patients in the world, and 5% of the total population is affected by morbid obesity. The Indian average income is around $179 (Rs. 14686.12 at $1 = Rs. 82.5), which makes it important to have a cheaper and more effective way of solving the problem-related diet. With advancements in the artificial intelligence (AI) domain, everyone can appreciate how it can be used to improve and manage a person's diet. The Artificial Intelligence Dietician (AID) enables people to learn about human diets using artificial intelligence. The main motive of this study is to develop an AI-based web application that will function as a diet advisor in the same way as a trained dietician would. The work is based on the collection and analysis of information provided by the individual user, such as his height, weight, age, etc. These inputs are used to design an AI-based system that functions like a trained dietician and is able to provide diet recommendations. The system calculates the nutrient cost and suggests food items to meet individuals' nutritional requirements. The food that shall be consumed can be detected by clicking a photo or uploading, and the daily consumption of calories is being tracked. The system provides food classification accuracy of around 85% for the food image uploaded for food identification. The system further recommends the best diet to clients purely based on the regulations and demands confirmation.
