Over the past two weeks, our Living Lab at Fraunhofer AICOS hosted a group of volunteers from Colaborar who came to help researchers working on the project SousChef.
Researchers wanted to know the daily habits of seniors and pre-seniors regarding food intake: preferences, limitations, number and composition of meals. Their anthropometric characteristics were also taken into account, as well as their activity level.
Then, the smartphone application provided a daily and weekly meal plan considering the information provided, so that the plan was personalised. Participants played an important role in evaluating the nutritional plans created by the application, by giving their feedback, according to their preferences.
Thank you to all the participants for your help in these sessions. We suppose you would prefer a food tasting session instead, so if ever we have the chance of organizing something along those lines, we promise to invite you!
