Easy-to-use portable intelligent devices is spreading and there is an increased accessibility of mobile technologies, including smartphones, personal digital assistants, touch pads and ultra-portable computers. This has made them more feasible for use by researchers and health care service providers for monitoring health behavior, compliance and effectiveness. The new technologies allow for detailed analysis for ex-ample of patterns of physical activity, food intake, addictive behaviors and environmental expo-sure either in real-life or simulated, virtual settings to study new choice architectures that aim to facilitate healthy choice.
The aim of the symposium was to present some of the new technologies that has been developed by some of the research groups from the growing food & devices community. Slides can be downloaded below.
