Abstract

Claims (29)

1 . A system for dynamic meal planning, the system comprising:

a plurality of sensors configured to measure a plurality of physiological data, the sensors including at least an accelerometer, a gyroscope, an altimeter, a pulse rate sensor, and a thermistor;

a user device;

a smart food tray comprising one or more scales configured to measure a weight of a user's food and one or more cameras configured to image the user's food; and

one or more processors configured to:

receive a signal from the smart food tray, the signal indicative of the weight of the food the user consumes and indicative of the imaging by the one or more cameras;

determine a type and quantity of food consumed based at least in part on the imaging by the one or more cameras and the weight measured by the one or more scales;

receive sensor information from the plurality of sensors, determine an activity type based on the sensor information, determine a metabolic equivalent task (MET) for the activity type and determine activity data based at least in part on the activity type, duration, intensity, and the MET;

determine a health score based at least in part on the activity data and the type and quantity of food consumed, and adjusting the health score based on nutrients consumed as determined by the determined type of food;

communicate, to the user device, a prospective health score based on a plurality of prospective food options in order to promote consumption of healthy foods;

dynamically adjusting, in real time, contents of an individualized meal kit based on the determined type of food.

2 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the system is further configured to dynamically adjust contents of an individualized meal kit based on physiological data.

3 . The system of claim 1 , further comprising dynamically adjusting contents of an individualized meal kit based on a plurality of food preference data.

4 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more cameras are configured to scan a barcode of a food package of the user's food.

5 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the smart food tray comprises a plurality of cameras spaced around the smart food tray.

6 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the smart food tray comprises a heating element configured to warm food on the smart food tray.

7 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are configured to track a pace of food consumption based at least in part on the signal from the smart food tray.

8 . A method for dynamic meal planning, the method comprising:

receiving by one or more processors a signal from a smart food tray comprising one or more scales configured to measure a weight of a user's food and one or more cameras configured to image the user's food, the signal indicative of the weight of the food the user consumes and indicative of the imaging by the one or more cameras;

determining a type and quantity of food consumed based at least in part on the imaging by the one or more cameras and the weight of the food from the one or more scales;

receiving sensor information from a plurality of sensors, determine an activity type based on the sensor information, determine a metabolic equivalent task (MET) for the activity type and determine activity data based at least in part on the activity type, duration, intensity, and the MET, the sensors including at least an accelerometer, a gyroscope, an altimeter, a pulse rate sensor, and a thermistor;

determining a health score based at least in part on the activity data and the type and quantity of food consumed, and adjusting the health score based on nutrients consumed as determined by the determined type of food;

communicating, to a user device, a prospective health score based on a plurality of prospective food options in order to promote consumption of healthy foods;

dynamically adjusting, in real time, contents of an individualized meal kit based on the determined type of food.

9 . The method of claim 8 , further comprising dynamically adjusting the meal kit based on physiological data.

10 . The method of claim 8 , further comprising dynamically adjusting contents of an individualized meal kit based on a plurality of food preference data.

11 . The method of claim 8 , comprising, using one of the one or more cameras of the smart food tray, scanning a barcode of a food package of the user's food.

12 . The method of claim 8 , comprising, using a heating element of the smart food tray, warming food on the smart food tray.

13 . The method of claim 8 , comprising tracking a pace of food consumption based at least in part on the signal from the smart food tray.
