Abstract

The advent of mobile technology has brought about significant changes in many areas of life, including the management of food intake and dietary habits. This paper proposes an Android-based food automation and dietary management system that leverages the power of mobile technology to streamline the process of ordering and preparing meals in a hospital setting. The system includes a mobile app that allows users to place food orders and track their nutrient intake, as well as a dietary plan generator module that utilizes third-party Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) to create personalized meal plans based on individual dietary needs and preferences. It discusses the benefits of this system, including improved efficiency, accuracy, and patient satisfaction. Overall, this paper demonstrates the potential of mobile technology to transform the way it approaches food and nutrition in healthcare settings.
