如今，遵循健康的饮食是一项挑战，这要么是因为食物和成分组合的可能性很大，要么是因为缺乏做出健康选择所需的知识。这个问题在老年人中更为明显。尽管已经提出了一些推荐系统和应用，目的是监测卡路里消耗和/或向普通消费者建议健康食谱，但是还没有提出专注于老年人需求的类似解决方案。在这项工作中，一个移动的膳食推荐系统，SousChef，为这个目标群体。该系统能够基于用户提供的信息（包括人体测量、个人偏好和活动水平）创建个性化的膳食计划。营养建议和应用程序是为老年人考虑和设计的，提供友好的用户界面，并遵循营养学家的指导方针。对用户进行了测试，以确定食谱和营养计划的适用性以及移动的应用程序的可用性。结果显示，超过70%的老年参与者对膳食计划建议和SousChef的简单性感到满意
Nowadays, following a healthy diet is a challenge, either due to the large variety of food and ingredient combination possibilities or due to the lack of knowledge required to make healthy choices. This problem is even more patent amongst older adults. Although some recommender systems and applications have been proposed with aim to monitor calorie consumption and/or to suggest healthy recipes to general consumers, no similar solution was yet presented focused on older adults’ needs. In this work, a mobile meal recommender system, SousChef, for this target group is presented. This system is capable of creating a personalized meal plan based on the information provided by the user, including the anthropometric measures, personal preferences and activity level. The nutritional recommendations and the application was thought and designed for older adults, presenting friendly user interfaces and following the guidelines of a nutritionist. Tests with users were conducted in order to ascertain recipe and nutritional plan suitability as well as usability of the mobile application. Results showed that more than 70% of the older adult participants were satisfied with the meal plan suggestions and with the simplicity of the SousChef
