Fact-based personalized nutrition for the young
THE CHALLENGE
If modern society is to reach a state where people are getting the most out of nutrition, then an efficient and reliable way of personalizing nutrition has to be made available to the wider public.
The challenge is to create a platform that
• promotes safe food for the population,
• enables consumers to make informed choices
• ensures that the proposed choices will have good chance of being adopted
THE PROJECT
NUTRISHIELD is a 4-year research project, aiming to create a personalized platform for the young. The platform will consist of novel methods & techniques, which analyze a wide range of biomarkers related to nutrition and health disorders.
OUR ROLE
We are addressing ICT development aspects of the NUTRISHIELD Personalized Nutrition algorithm and are involved in the development of the NUTRISHIELD Personalized Nutrition Platform and the integration of the NUTRISHIELD Mobile App with the Platform. Our VDP is used for new product development.
The platform uses ICT, by expanding existing nutrition assistive mobile apps, in order to provide feedback and steering people towards a better nutrition. This takes into account the way each person responds to different nutrients and food types, by also analyzing phenotype, genome expression, microbiome composition, health condition, mental & psychological condition, as well as financial capabilities for procuring food.
