SBIR PHASE II TOPIC 308 IMAGE BASED MOBILE SYSTEM FOR DIETARY ASSESSMENT AND COACHING

在这个项目中，Vignet将专注于必要的产品增强，以充分开发和商业化 基于图像的系统（FitNinja），使用移动的技术来收集、传输、存储、分析和报告 饮食摄入数据。患者将使用图像、文本注释、语音记录、语音 命令、条形码扫描、餐厅菜单、FNDDS、MPED数据库搜索等。 供应商将通过平板电脑应用程序立即获得患者详细的饮食摄入数据。 直观的移动的咨询系统提供了一种传递具有反馈的饮食咨询的机制， 指导、链接、膳食计划和食谱。提供者可以快速监测和响应多个患者， 仍然直接向患者的移动的电话提供高质量的反馈。 使用FitNinja，提供者可以经常为广泛的患者人群提供饮食干预， 慢性病这些干预措施将引导患者通过自我管理计划 来改变他们的生活方式和饮食习惯患者将不再需要依赖回忆， 亲自访问，或零碎的电话和电子邮件接受护理。 将进行随机对照试验（RCT）以验证FitNinjaTM的疗效。这项临床试验 预计将展示该系统如何使消费者健康，临床护理和临床研究受益。

In this project, Vignet will focus on the necessary product enhancements to fully develop and commercialize an image-based system (FitNinja) using mobile technologies to collect, transfer, store, analyze, and report dietary intake data. Patient will log meals using images, text annotations, speech recordings, voice command, barcodes scanning, restaurant menus, FNDDS, MPED database searches and more. Providers will have immediate access to patients’ detailed dietary intake data through a tablet application. The intuitive mobile consult system provides a mechanism to deliver dietary counseling with feedback, guidance, links, meal plans and recipes. Providers can monitor and respond to multiple patients quickly while still providing high-quality feedback directly to patient’s mobile phones. Using FitNinja, providers can frequently deliver dietary interventions to a broad population of patients with chronic diseases. These interventions would guide patients through a supported-self management program to make lifestyle and behavioral changes to their diet. Patients will no longer need to rely on recall, infrequent in-person visits, or fragmented telephone calls and e-mails to receive care. A randomized controlled trial (RCT) will be conducted to validate the efficacy of FitNinjaTM. This clinical test is expected to demonstrate how the system can benefit consumer health, clinical care, and clinical research.
