Method and system for making customized formulations for individuals
The one or more embodiments disclosed herein provide a method for automatically assembling multiple compounds into a single edible custom composition, in which each compound is individually customized to proportions formulated from a profile of an individual or group. The single custom mixture can contain a plurality of compounds including foods or flavors, nutritional additives, herbals, biologics, or pharmacologically active substances. Using the method and a related algorithm, the formulation of a custom mixture is suggested.
1. A computing device comprising:
a memory; and
a processor, wherein the computing device is configured to:
receive health-related information from an individual;
receive taste-related preference data from a individual;
based on the health-related information, determine a suggested formulation for a supplement for the individual;
based on the taste-related preference data, determine a suggested filler medium;
receive individual alterations to each of the suggested formulation and suggested filler medium;
determine whether individual alterations to each of the suggested formulation and suggested filler medium are within acceptable contraindication ranges; and
cause to display on a user interface the suggested formulation and the suggested filler medium to the individual;
receive the individual alterations to each of the suggested formulation and suggested filler medium;
wherein the formulation and filler medium are prepared and dispensed into a dosage;
wherein the filler medium is a thixotropic semi-solid hydrocolloid that allows dissolution or suspension of compounds in a form that is stable until agitated or extruded at which point the semi-solid hydrocolloid becomes fluid and can be dispensed,
wherein the thixotropic semi-solid hydrocolloid is solubilized to embed the formulation and then reformed as a semi-solid.
2. The computing device of claim 1 , wherein the health-related information is one of weight, height, sex, age, and health status.
3. The computing device of claim 1 , wherein the computing device is further configured to store a profile on the individual.
4. The computing device of claim 3 , wherein the profile includes at least one of medical history, family medical history, nutritional, dietary, and pharmacological product consumption.
5. The computing device of claim 1 , wherein the computing device is further configured to determine a formulation relevancy score based on the health-related information and suggested formulation.
6. The computing device of claim 5 , wherein the computing device is further configured to display the formulation relevancy score to the individual.
7. The computing device of claim 1 , wherein the computing device is further configured to determine a filler relevancy score based on the taste-related information and suggested filler.
8. The computing device of claim 7 , wherein the computing device is further configured to display the filler relevancy score to the individual.
9. The computing device of claim 1 , wherein when it is determined that individual alterations to each of the suggested formulation and suggested filler medium are not within acceptable contraindication ranges, the computing device communicates a request for independent review by a health care professional.
10. The computing device of claim 1 , wherein the computing device is further configured to display, on the user interface, a series of health-related questions for response by the individual forming the health-related information.
11. The computing device of claim 1 , wherein the computing device is further configured to display, on the user interface, a series of taste preference-related questions for response by the individual forming the taste-related information.
12. The computing device of claim 1 , wherein the computing device determines a suggested formulation for a supplement for the individual by comparing the health-related information with a database.
13. A method comprising:
receiving health-related information from an individual;
receiving taste-related preference data from an individual;
based on the health-related information, determining a suggested formulation for a supplement for the individual;
based on the taste-related preference data, determining a suggested filler medium;
receiving individual alterations to each of the suggested formulation and suggested filler medium;
determining whether individual alterations to each of the suggested formulation and suggested filler medium are within acceptable contraindication ranges; and
causing to display on a user interface the suggested formulation and the suggested filler medium to the individual;
receiving the individual alterations to each of the suggested formulation and suggested filler medium;
wherein the formulation and filler medium are prepared and dispensed into a dosage;
wherein the filler medium is a thixotropic semi-solid hydrocolloid that allows dissolution or suspension of compounds in a form that is stable until agitated or extruded at which point the semi-solid hydrocolloid becomes fluid and can be dispensed,
wherein the thixotropic semi-solid hydrocolloid is solubilized to embed the formulation and then reformed as a semi-solid.
14. The method of claim 13 , wherein the health-related information is one of weight, height, sex, age, and health status.
15. The method of claim 13 , further comprising storing a profile on the individual.
16. The method of claim 15 , wherein the profile includes at least one of medical history, family medical history, nutritional, dietary, and pharmacological product consumption.
17. The method of claim 13 , further comprising determining a formulation relevancy score based on the health-related information and suggested formulation.
18. The method of claim 17 , further comprising displaying the formulation relevancy score to the individual.
19. The method of claim 13 , further comprising determining a filler relevancy score based on the taste-related information and suggested filler.
20. The method of claim 19 , further comprising displaying the filler relevancy score to the individual.
21. The method of claim 13 , wherein when it is determined that individual alterations to each of the suggested formulation and suggested filler medium are not within acceptable contraindication ranges, further comprising communicating a request for independent review by a health care professional.
22. The method of claim 13 , further comprising causing to display, on the user interface, a series of health-related questions for response by the individual forming the health-related information.
