Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The impact of artificial intelligence (AI) applications on daily life continues to grow rapidly and significantly. The medical industry is not untouched by this advancement and has harnessed AI to help in understanding complex biological phenomena, diagnose diseases, predict clinical outcomes, and design novel therapies. The availability of mobile and smart devices presents an opportunity for more personalized real-time data collection, synthesis, analysis, and feedback from the consumer level to the business level. This technology offers the possibility to optimize clinical nutrition, where real-time information on dietary intake, interpreting diets in the context of the person and their health, and generating practical feedback are all possible. AI will allow for personalized nutrition—from the design of parenteral nutrition in a more agile and precise manner, to the selection of optimal formulas for each patient at each moment. The implementation of AI in screening and diagnosis will enable early detection, minimize diagnostic losses, and reduce the time required for diagnosis, allowing for immediate nutritional intervention. The ethical and legal considerations of using AI in clinical nutrition are complex. The quality of the conclusions drawn by AI requires processes designed to mitigate potential ethical issues. This Special Issue welcomes submissions of original research articles and review articles exploring advances in smart technologies and artificial intelligence for nutritional screening, diagnosis, and treatment, as well as clinical nutritional interventions.
