Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue on “Innovative Technologies for Dietary Assessment” emphasises the pivotal role of dietary intake assessment at both individual and population levels in elucidating the relationship between diet and health outcomes. The integration of new technologies has transformed traditional paper-based dietary assessment methods, rendering self-monitoring more practical and accurate. Artificial intelligence (AI), big data, and smart devices, including smartphones and wearable sensors, are revolutionising dietary assessment by enhancing portion size estimation and providing real-time, personalised nutritional recommendations. As the field of dietary assessment evolves with technological advancements, this issue explores the potential of AI and other innovative tools to improve dietary measurement accuracy and promote better health outcomes.
We request original articles related to this topic, including research papers and reviews, with topics including, but not limited to, the following:
- Technological Transformation of Dietary Assessment;
- Innovative Tools and Technologies;
- Portion Size Assessment Technologies;
- Challenges in Dietary Measurement;
- Role of AI in Nutrition;
- Recent Technological Advances;
- Interdisciplinary Research Approaches.
