Development of a Multi-Device Nutrition Logging Prototype Including a Smartscale

Abstract

In this work we present a portable system for nutrition logging that integrates multiple devices and modalities in order to facilitate food and drink tracking. The system consists of a smartphone, a smartwatch and a smartscale that can be combined flexibly by users depending on the current situation and their personal needs. Based on a requirement analysis, we present the rationale behind the design and implementation of our food and drink logger. We also report the preliminary results of an in-situ study we conducted in order to explore the potential benefits and challenges of a multi-device approach to nutrition tracking in daily life settings.
