DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal is in response to PA-07-436 "Bioengineering Approaches to Energy Balance and Obesity (STTR [R41/R42])". In this project we will assess a wrist-worn "bite counter" for monitoring food intake. Specifically, we will evaluate the device across different foods, liquids, utensils and containers to measure its utility for monitoring eating. We will create a bite database that systematically measures the accuracy of the device. If validated, the device could provide a novel measure for empowering an individual to measure how much he or she eats over the long term. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: This research will assess a wrist-worn "bite counter" for monitoring food intake. Specifically, we will evaluate the device across different foods, liquids, utensils and containers to measure its utility for monitoring eating. If validated, the device could provide a novel long-term measure.

描述（由申请人提供）：本提案是对 PA-07-436“能量平衡和肥胖的生物工程方法（STTR [R41/R42]）”的回应。在这个项目中，我们将评估一个用于监测食物摄入量的腕戴式“咬计数器”。具体来说，我们将在不同的食物、液体、器具和容器中评估该设备，以衡量其监测饮食的效用。我们将创建一个咬合数据库，系统地测量设备的准确性。如果经过验证，该设备可以提供一种新颖的测量方法，使个人能够测量他或她长期的饮食量。 公共健康相关性：这项研究将评估用于监测食物摄入量的腕戴式“咬计数器”。具体来说，我们将在不同的食物、液体、器具和容器中评估该设备，以衡量其监测饮食的效用。如果经过验证，该设备可以提供一种新颖的长期措施。
