Food menu selection support system

Abstract

This paper proposes a food menu selection support system to realize a safe dietary life considering constraint conditions. Nowadays, people have greater choice in food menu selection due to diversification of diet such as food choices available by dining out in restaurants and ready-made foods. Some people, such as food allergy and dialysis patients, however, are excluded from these benefits by dietary constraints...Food menu planning is difficult for people found to be allergic to certain foods, people on dialysis, or people who are recuperating at home after leaving hospital. To address these issues, we propose a food menu selection support system that considers the constraint conditions of individuals for a safe dietary life. The system supports various individual situations such as home, hospital, school, kindergarten and elder care residence.
