Enhancing Dietary Assessments and Nutritional Monitoring Through Digital Health Monitoring and Intervention

Dear Colleagues,

Traditional dietary assessment methods face challenges such as recall bias and low adherence. Digital health technologies—including wearables, mobile apps, and AI—offer innovative solutions for real-time, objective monitoring of eating behaviors and nutritional intake. This Special Issue explores cutting-edge approaches for improving dietary assessment accuracy, usability, and intervention effectiveness.

Please consider submitting original research manuscripts regarding in vivo, real-time tracking of eating behaviors. Empirical studies are our focus; however, submissions are not limited to these alone, but can also include theoretical articles, conceptual models, novel and innovative technologies, and field-wide reviews of technologies and applications. Approaches incorporating artificial intelligence approaches for the identification of ingestive behaviors, the context of use, total caloric or energy intakes, and feedback are all of particular interest.

I look forward to your submissions.
