Abstract: Abstract Event-State-Dependent Food Intake Monitoring With Differential Bite-Mass Estimation and Meal Reconciliation The present invention relates to an event- state-dependent food intake monitoring system for determining actual consumed food on a bite-by-bite basis. A load-cell-based weight sensing arrangement acquires successive food-weight measurements, while a processing unit identifies unloaded, food-loading, stable pre-bite, eating-transition and stable post-bite states. A differential bite mass is determined from validated pre-bite and post-bite weights and is accepted as consumed food only when a predefined eating-event sequence is satisfied. Validated bite masses are associated with food-specific caloric information and reconciled to determine cumulative meal intake while rejecting transient loading and non-consumption events. The system further determines eating-behaviour parameters including bite mass, bite interval, eating rate and cumulative intake and selectively generates behavioural interventions. Weight, temperature, calorie and meal-related information may be displayed locally and communicated to a remote monitoring application.
