Abstract


ICTs have become a strong ally in strengthening individualsâ?? healthy lifestyle, taking into account nutrition intake and physical activity levels. Nutrition applications provide the means for automatic dietary intake and energy expenditure measurements as well as personalised counselling and educational services. Behaviour targeted applications should be appealing and intriguing, as they apply to many people with a variety of needs for a long period of time. Therefore, they should be efficient, accurate and functional. It is a fact that nutrition applications are by all means a cost-effective innovation by reducing the chasm between the individuals in need for constant interaction and their caregivers.
