Precious research From May 2014 newsletter

Precious research


As part of our growing involvement in research related to diet and health, in such things as product development, we are participating in an EU FP7–funded health project. It is looking into the development of a preventive care system (PRECIOUS) that aims to monitor health indicators (including food intake) and encourage behavioural change through personalised feedback, and motivational techniques, such as the use of gamification (game playing scenarios) and motivational interview principles. Development of a food intake sensor will focus on the user requirements of such a tool, and education of the user to improve the nutritional profile of their diet.


More details on the project are available at www.thepreciousproject.eu
