Abstract:
We built an AI Fitness Application in hopes of addressing the problem of obesity. Obesity and lack of fitness awareness are major problems in the United States that lead to unhealthy lifestyles and health risks. To solve this problem, we developed an app that bundles together essential components to help a person keep up with their fitness. Our app includes a calorie logging system where you can log your food and exercise, a fitness tip section, and a collection of exercise videos. Our technology uses Flutter Dart as the main programming language for the User Interface. We also use Python from

Abstract:
Diabetes is now a pandemic of world concern affecting both developed and developing countries. Dietary intake and nutritional status of a person are considered key in the prevention and management of diabetes. Increasing awareness and knowledge about diabetes among the diabetics and the population at large is also considered paramount for its prevention, treatment and management. In Kenya, diabetes is on the increase in both rural and urban settings. Unfortunately, there is scanty information in Kenya on nutritional knowledge and nutritional status among diabetic patients. The study thus aimed

Abstract:
Studies have shown the importance of diet in correlation with obesity and several chronic diseases. Trying to reduce the incidence of diet related diseases, we designed a mobile application for users to keep track of their nutritional intake and thus promote healthier eating patterns. We implemented a deep learning model into the application that can make predictions when given an image and analyze the nutrients for that food item. The sum of daily nutritional information is displayed to users on the dashboard, as well as a letter grade to help visualize their progress on healthy eating. Every

Abstract:
The rising prevalence of diet-related non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as diabetes and cardiovascular diseases is a major global public health concern. The consumption of junk food – food high in fat, sugar, and salt – contributes to unhealthy weight gain, obesity, and NCDs. The World Health Organization recognizes the health benefits of introducing tax on junk food, proposing that such a policy would encourage healthier dietary choices leading to the reduction of NCD prevalence. Multiple countries have adopted this policy to tackle NCDs. This systematic review focuses on the experience f
