An Evaluation of Automated Dietary Assessment. Edition No. 1
VDM Publishing House, Sep 2008, Pages: 212
Dietary assessment has changed dramatically with
time, progressing from face-to-face interviews and
hand calculated nutrient intakes to the use of
computer technology to automate various parts of the
process. The most common application is the use of
software packages to calculate nutrient intake data
obtained from dietary interviews. The development of
technology to automate the interview process will
allow for clinicians to spend more time focussing on
patient education and counselling. This book
describes the development, testing and implementation
of an automated dietary assessment website. it
addresses the barriers patients and healthcare
professionals have to the use of technology and
describes the process of determining if the website
is a feasible adjunct to the professional
consultation in the primary healthcare setting.
