Method and apparatus for tracking of food intake and other behaviors and providing relevant feedback

This invention describes a system that uses a wearable electronic device, specifically an accelerometer, to track a person's body movements. It identifies specific gestures from these movements that could indicate a behavior, such as eating, and records details like the start time or intensity of that activity. The system then provides feedback based on the detected behaviors.

Why it matters: Since 2019, advancements in machine learning have significantly improved the accuracy and efficiency of gesture recognition from accelerometer data. This makes the core claim of reliably detecting specific behaviors from body movements more feasible for real-time feedback.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedWearable electronics, accelerometer, complex gesture recognition software.
