Mobile application for planning and monitoring healthy eating habits with artificial intelligence and augmented reality

Abstract

Staying healthy in today’s world can be a considerable challenge due to the difficulty of accessing personalized meal plans, the lack of tools for habit tracking, and the limited availability of information about the foods we consume. Although technology has advanced significantly, there is no platform that combines nutritional plans comparable to those designed by a professional nutritionist with detailed information about consumed foods and tools that facilitate evaluating the user’s progress. For this reason, a mobile application was developed to provide meal plans generated by artificial intelligence, based on the Dietary Guidelines for the Argentine Population. This application adapts to each user’s dietary preferences, personal data, and objectives, featuring functionalities such as food scanning and a section where users can track their progress.This project was developed thanks to the knowledge acquired during the Software Engineering program, encompassing stages such as identifying and analyzing the problem and designing a proposal that incorporates transformative technologies like artificial intelligence and augmented reality, reflecting the integration of technical and analytical skills from the conception of the idea to the implementation of the system.
