Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing the field of food recognition and nutrition estimation, driving innovations in diet assessment, self-testing, and weight management. With its ability to analyze complex datasets, AI provides solutions that promote healthier eating habits, prevent diet-related diseases, and deliver personalized nutritional care. These advancements are reshaping both individual and public health strategies.
Breakthroughs in AI technologies, including the development of Large Language Models (LLMs), are enhancing the accuracy of nutrition estimation and enabling adaptive, personalized dietary interventions. Furthermore, the integration of AI with IoT devices, wearables, and advanced imaging systems offers holistic solutions for nutrition monitoring, assessment, and intervention. These systems address the limitations of current methods by providing scalable, efficient, and highly personalized approaches within the field of nutrition.
This Special Issue of Nutrients, entitled “The Importance of Modern Digital for Diet Assessment, Self-Testing and Weight Management”, welcomes the submission of high-quality original studies and review articles that explore recent advancements in the application of AI and digital technologies to nutrition science and health. We also welcome clinical studies that leverage modern digital tools for the monitoring and analysis of nutrition, further advancing the integration of AI into real-world healthcare applications.
Best regards,
Dr. Frank Po Wen Lo
Guest Editor
