Abstract

Smartphone apps are increasingly in use for personalized and preventive health and wellness management. Many preventive and manageable health conditions such as obesity, diabetes, and hypertension can be addressed through proper smartphone-based dietary interventions. Our research aims at developing a smartphone-based dietary software that helps users select a healthy eat-out menu item within a budget. To this end, our contribution in this research is three-fold: first, we identify gaps in existing smartphone apps; second, we elicit requirements for a smartphone-based dietary intervention app; third, following the elicited requirements, we design and develop an android app.
