Published:07 May 2016Publication History

ABSTRACT

Dietary habits greatly influence one's health. Particularly, for the patients who suffer from metabolic syndrome, maintaining a healthy dietary habit is crucial to their health. In this paper, we aim to study the dietary behavior of such patients and design a system that can support their difficulties during food plating and eating process. We implemented a prototype to support the patient's eating speed, food portion control and calorie/sodium management. The preliminary evaluation results show both positive and negative aspects of our approach.
