Dietitian and Information Technology System Prototype
Subject area: Science,Engineering and Technology · Area of research: Science and Technology
Abstract
The developed Informative system provides expertise in nutrition consulting. It offers a wide range of advices about nutrients quantity that meet the basic needs of the body; such nutrients as proteins, vitamins, fiber, and some kind of minerals. Also, the system helps the users to make a decision to increase or decrease their weight by knowing their body type. Moreover, nutrition system will provide you with meal plans and the foods you need to eat for your particular body type. In addition, the Dietitian and Information Technology system will save time instead of going to the human expert. Also, the nutrition system is available all the time and can be used in any place. Our system integrates and captures the nutrition and diet knowledge and information in easy, clear, and understandable way for the users. However, the developed nutrition and diet Information system prototype had some technical and presentation limitations such as not covering everything about nutrition, some unclear solutions for average people, and lack of guidance how to measure waist circumferences. The revised Information system should fix these limitations and incorporate the several users? recommendations related to technical, knowledge, and presentation issues such as: Make it more interesting with images, provide the function to how compute BMI, provide examples of food for each solution, provide easy understandable advice for the user, identify health risk factors associated with obesity, and provide the system with other language (Arabic).
