Dietary assessment is fraught with error among adults [1] and especially among children [2, 3]. As much as 50% of child reported 24 hour dietary recall of foods for the previous day’s breakfast and lunch had errors [4] as assessed against direct observation of consumption. Innovative technology may provide more accurate assessments of dietary intake [5]. One recently available innovative method is a camera worn on the chest (called an eButton) that takes images of whatever is in front of the wearer at brief intervals (2 sec to 10 sec) throughout the day [6–10]. Images of foods could minimize inaccurate recall of foods, but may have other limitations. These images can be clustered into images of a common single eating event [9–12]. Some of the foods in the food event image clusters can be automatically identified, but most must be identified by observers, usually dietitians [9, 10]. Food image portion size can be estimated using an innovative digital wire mesh procedure [9, 10, 13–16]. While the eButton has been tested among adults [14–16], adapting it for use by children requires understanding of its acceptance and procedural use. Two formative studies were conducted for using the eButton with children.
