ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE SYSTEM FOR DECISSION SUPPORT ON MALNUTRITION

ABSTRACT As people across the globe are becoming more health conscious, eating more healthy food and avoiding junk food, a system that can measure calories, Carbohydrate, Proteins and Nutrition in every day meals can be very useful for maintaining one’s health. Food calorie and nutrition measurement system is very beneficial for dieticians and patients to measure and manage their daily food intake. We also know that it’s difficult to find an affordable nutritionist or a dietician across the street; therefore, this project proposed a system – ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE SYSTEM FOR DECISSION SUPPORT ON MALNUTRITION. The proposed system contains the knowledge and data regarding the fitness of a person and nutrition content values. This application consists of the user interface which will be publicly displayed on the application i.e. the basic information regarding the fitness and nutrition values such as how to maintain good health by adapting healthy eating habits which includes the intake of calories, proteins and carbohydrates etc. in proper proportion. A dietician consults a person based on his gender, age and health condition. The system too asks all this data from the user and processes it. The system stores and processes this data and then calculates the nutrient value needed to fill up users‟ needs.The program was developed using PHP programming language and MySQL. The language was chosen because of its easy syntax for developing Web-based applications.
