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.

Sensing fork: eating behavior detection utensil and mobile persuasive game
CHI EA '13: CHI '13 Extended Abstracts on Human Factors in Computing SystemsWe propose a fork-type sensing device, Sensing Fork, which detects children's eating behavior (eating actions and chosen food) and a smartphone game to address children's eating problems. This paper describes the design and implementation of the Sensing ...
