Beskrivelse

Data collection in dietary intake studies using traditional methods is costly and time consuming and as a result the interest in ICT assisted automated or semi‐automated systems is high. Therefor there is considerable interest in methods that can assist this process. Tablet, smartphones in combination with imaging and vision technologies are some of solutions that have shown promising results. This presentation takes the Dietary Intake Monitoring System (DIMS) as a point of departure. It is a device for capturing accurate data on dietary intake. It has been developed for capturing information about patient’s meal both before and after consumption in a foodservice setting and is used for assessment of food intake and plate waste. The DIMS is able to estimate the type and amount of food on a plate using an integrated technology based on imaging, weighing scale, IR thermometer and ID technology. The DIMS is used in a sequential mode: first the plated meal is recorded and second the returned plate is recorded. The 2 recordings then return the intake and the plate waste. The results so far indicates a substantial potential for decreasing the workload for registering food intake data. The paper discusses the DIMS technology, present other recent innovations such as the eButton technology developed in the US and other recent ICT assisted approaches to measuring behaviour and suggest directions for future research directions as well as for research infrastructures in this field.
