Measuring and monitoring dietary intake with easy-to-use portable intelligent devices, has gained interest and popularity worldwide. Increased accessibility of these mobile technologies, including smartphones, personal digital assistants and touch pads (ultra-portable computers), has made them more feasible for use by researchers and health care service providers for monitoring health behavior, compliance and effectiveness of nutritional care and support. Friday leading researcher, practitioner and doctoral students met at AAU CPH to present recent advancements and discuss research directions.

The conference was opened by Christine Antorini, past Danish Minister of education, MP and the president of the committee on research and education in the Danish parliament. See her opening address here.
