An Image-Recognition Dietary Assessment App for Adolescents With Obesity: Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Adolescence is a period of increased susceptibility to developing obesity-related health issues due to poor eating patterns and increased sedentary behaviors. Recommendations for pediatric obesity management include dietary assessments. However, adolescents often avoid food logging through traditional methods. The use of image-recognition dietary assessment apps in adolescents with obesity is not well studied. Eating for Wellness (E4W) is a mobile app that determines the nutritional content of meals from photos and incorporates nutritional goal setting. Nutritional data can be displayed for health care providers (HCPs) via the Clinician Portal, while the data are presented to the user in a manner that minimizes the focus on calorie counting.
