Description

DIETARY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM FOR TRACKING, MANAGING AND CONTROL

DIETARY BALANCE OF A PERSON

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to macronutrients and micronutrients (vitamins and minerals). More particularly, it relates to nutrients, minerals and vitamins consumed to meet recommended personal targets of nutrients, minerals and vitamins for maintaining and personal health.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Multiple medical conditions are affected by diet, both what is in the diet and what is missing from the diet. In some cases, nutrition with insufficient levels of nutrients, minerals and vitamins can create unhealthy medical conditions in case of long-term consumption of poor nutrition that is consumed for long time. Heart attacks, cardiovascular diseases, cancer, diabetes obesity and more, are often being seen in multiple societies over the world. The relation of these chronic disease’s conditions to the quality of the nutrition has been shown in an enormous number of studies.

Preventive approaches are probably the most effective methods of dealing with these diseases, especially the acute and the chronic ones. One of the most affective approaches suggest looking into dietary supplementations, and the micronutrients and ensure the food contains the components the body requires. To date, the approach to dietary supplements has been considered as a factor associated with preventive approaches for bad medical conditions chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, obesity, diabetes, and acute diseases. However, the main challenge exists when dealing with preventive medicine, based on dietary supplements is that evidences shown that one dietary plan may be very effective to one person, but ineffective another. As a result, one course of diet which fits all person cannot be achieved.

Normally, one should be able to get all the nutrients needed from a balanced diet. However, taking supplements can provide additional nutrients when the personal diet is lacking nutritious variety of foods or when certain health conditions, aging cause you to develop an insufficiency or deficiency. For example, calcium and vitamin D are important for keeping bones strong and reducing bone loss; folic acid decreases the risk of certain birth defects; and omega-3 fatty acids from fish oils might help some people with heart disease. Most dietary supplements are safe as long as you follow the label instructions some of them offer actual health benefits, but there can be some risk with their use since large doses of certain nutrients can have strong biological effects on the body. For example, the fat-soluble vitamins A and D can build up to toxic levels in the body when taken in large doses over extended periods of time. Vitamin B-6 is a water-soluble vitamin, so your body doesn’t store it as efficiently as a fat-soluble vitamin, but prolonged use of vitamin B-6 in large amounts can cause nerve damage. Large doses of vitamin C may cause diarrhea. Mineral supplements can also be dangerous. For example, selenium, boron, and iron supplements can be toxic in large amounts. Some dietary supplements can interact with over-the-counter or prescription medications, or even with each other, and some supplements should be avoided before undergoing surgery.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The present invention discloses a method operable by a system for tracking, managing and controlling dietary balance associated with persons. The method disclosed in the present invention can provide the required dietary plan, in order to meet target metrics. Such a dietary plan may comprise, a list of dietary supplements, nutrients, the amount and the scheduling for consuming thereof, recommended to the person. In some cases, the dietary supplements in the dietary plan can comprise a list of digestible food ingredients, non-digestible food ingredients, food ingredient that promotes the growth of beneficial microorganisms in the intestines, omega 3 such as eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) or docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), herbal extracts, multi vitamin, probiotic, and the like.

The dietary management system disclosed in the present invention, denoted herein as dietary management system, can be configured to generate a personal nutrition profile associated with a person, and then adjust this personal nutrition profile to said person’s requirements and needs. The personal nutrition profile can be utilized for conducting the dietary plan for said person. Such a personal nutrition profile can comprise nutrients minerals and vitamins, recommended for a specific person. In some cases, the personal nutrition profile can also comprise the target values of the nutrients and minerals vitamins, which the person may be required to meet. For example, in a personal nutrition profile the amount level of vitamin C which a person is required to intake per day, may be higher than the amount level of vitamin C recommended for the general population.

In some cases, the personal nutrition profiles can be generated according a general-nutrition- reference. The general-nutrition-reference can comprise target levels of nutrients and minerals vitamins, which are recommended to be consumed by a person in the general population. Such a recommendation can be provided by any provider of healthcare services, such as a physician, HCP, also known as a healthcare professional, publisher of healthcare recommendation, and the like. In some cases, the general-nutrition-reference may comprise a table of recommended nutritional allowances such as dietary reference intakes, also known as a DRI. In some other cases, such a general-nutrition-reference may comprise additional lists of recommended nutrients and the amount levels thereof, which may be published or calculated internally by a system configured to operate the methods disclosed in the present invention. In some cases, the general-nutrition- reference may be generated by a person having ordinary skills in the art. In some other cases, the general-nutrition-reference may be generated by a person utilizing the dietary management system. In some cases, the dietary management system may be utilized a computerized process to analyze, calculate and assist to generate a general-nutrition-reference. For example, a person can require the dietary management system to compose and generate a general-nutrition-reference. In some cases, the target levels may be quantities of nutrients and minerals vitamins to be consumed by a person in the general population. The quantities can be in presented in the general-nutrition- reference by grams, number of does, number of tablets, volume of liquids, drops, number of bottles, milligrams and milliliters and the like. The dietary management system can also be configured to obtain a personal nutrition reference associated with a person, to generate the personal nutrition profile. Such a personal nutrition reference can be provided by the physician, by the person utilizing the dietary management system, dietitian, or any other person permitted to provide such a profile. In such cases, the dietary management system can receive the general- nutrition-reference and adjust the nutrients minerals vitamins and the amount levels thereof, to meet the personal nutrient target. In some cases, the personal nutrition profile may be generated by comparing the personal nutrition reference with a general-nutrition-reference. For example, in case the general-nutrition-reference indicates to consume 1.2 Milligram per day of Vitamin B and the personal nutrition profile indicates to consume 1.3 Milligram per day of Vitamin B, the 0.1 Milligram per day of Vitamin B may be considered in the dietary plan. For example, in some cases, wherein a person does reach the target level of a specific vitamin of 0.5 milligram, the dietary management system can add 0.7 of that specific vitamin, as the target level.

In some cases, the dietary plan may be generated by the dietary management system via receiving the personal nutrient profile and additional information. The additional information utilized by the dietary management system may be the person’s historic personal data and behavior. The historic personal data and behavior may comprise, medical history, medical status, medicines and drugs consumption history, physical activity, smoking and the like. Thus, the dietary management system may be configured to utilize the delta between the person’s historic personal data and behavior and the personal dietary profile for adjusting the dietary plan. The medical status may be driven from a set of conditions such as medicines taken by the person, allergies, pregnancy, lactation, surgery, bariatric surgery, and the like. In some cases, additional conditions such as physical activities, chronic diseases such as diabetes, cancer, digestive system diseases, weight loss, stress depression, and the like may also be added to the process of generating the personal nutrition reference.

In some cases, the dietary plan may be generated by the dietary management system via receiving the personal nutrient profile and a food list consumed by the person. For example, a list of nutrients existing in foods consumed by a person may be utilized to generate the dietary plan. Thus, the dietary management system may be configured to utilize the delta between the food list consumed by the person and the personal dietary profile for adjusting the dietary plan. For example, in case the person consumed food containing Vitamin C at the amount level as appears in the personal nutrient profile, the dietary plan generated by the dietary management system may not comprise Vitamin C.

The dietary management system can also be configured to conclude the personal nutrition reference, the personal nutrition reference, the food list consumed by the person, and the historical behavior and to generate the dietary plan for the specific person. The dietary plan may comprise the defined dietary supplements, which can be recommended by to the person. In such a case, the dietary management system may receive a person identification also known as person ID and associate the ID with the dietary plan. Associating the dietary plan with the person ID may provide the dietary management system to generate a personalized dietary plan which avoids conflicts, and / or mal interactions between different vitamins and minerals and thereby optimizing the positive effect of their intake.

In some cases, the dietary management system may obtain a prediction period and then generate the predicted a personalized dietary plan which the person may consume in the future. The prediction period can be the time for which the prediction is prepared. For example, the prediction period can be one week. In such a case, the dietary management system may plan the personalized dietary plan for one week ahead or any other defined period.

Fig. 1 shows a process for generating a personal nutrition profile by a dietary management system, according to exemplary embodiments of the present invention. At step 105 a dietary management system receives or obtain a general-nutrition-reference. At step 110 the dietary management system may obtain the personal nutrition reference plan for a person. Such a personal nutrition reference plan can be provided through multiple optional resources such as, provided by a physician, person utilizing the dietary management system, dietitian, HCP Health Care Professionals, or any other person permitted by said person to provide such a plan. In some cases, such a personal nutrition reference plan may comprise custom metrics targeted for the specific person. In some other cases, the personal nutrition reference plan may be a general plan provided by any person or institute. For example, the personal nutrition reference plan can be a list of nutrition reference intakes provided by a dietitian according to blood test. In some cases, the general-nutrition-reference may be provided by a computerized device designed to communicating with the dietary management system. Such a computerized device may be a computer, a personal computer, computerized server, virtual server operating on a computerized machine or computerized device, tablet personal computer, mobile computerized device, and the like. In some embodiments of the present invention, the computerized device may communicate with the dietary management system via telecommunications networks. The telecommunications network may be such as networks based on internet protocol, cellular networks, and the like. For example, the computerized device communicating with the dietary management system may utilize an application programable interface, also known as API, to send the general-nutrition-reference to the dietary management system

At step 115 the dietary management system identifies the nutrient list and the values thereof, to be added to the personal nutrition profile. Such values may be some predefined levels of nutrients, minerals and vitamins, a person is required to consume in order to meet some predefined target values of the nutrients, minerals and vitamins, which the person may be required to meet. For example, in case wherein a person is diagnosed with a diabetes, the personal nutrition profile dietary plan may comprise predefined target custom values of micronutrients ordinarily given to diabetic or prediabetic person in case of low energy diet or to reduce risk of insulin resistance.

At step 120 the dietary management system defines the priorities of the nutrients in the nutrient list of the personal nutrition profile, according to the predefined target values of the nutrients and minerals vitamins, which the person may be required to meet in the personal nutrition reference of the individual person as aforementioned. For example, in case a person requires to consume a specific nutrient, the dietary management system may be able to prioritize this specific nutrient according to the target values of the nutrients minerals and vitamins, which the person may be required to meet indicated the personal nutrition profile. At step 125 the dietary management system defines a recommended intake schedule associated with each nutrition in the personal nutrition reference plan. For example, the dietary management system can define that Vitamin B12 may consumed in a certain dose every day with certain timing. The dietary management system can also define that Magnesium may be consumed on a bi-daily basis. In some cases, all the nutrients may have the same dose, the intake frequency and the time during the day the nutrients shall be consumed. At step 130 the dietary management system generates the personal nutrition profde. Such a personal nutrition profile may comprise the target nutrition level for the person, the nutrients list, the intaking timing, interactions between nutrients and drugs, and the like.

Fig. 2A shows a process for generating a custom nutrient list recommended for a person, according to personal nutrition profile, in accordance with exemplary embodiments of the present invention. At step 205 the dietary management system may obtain a personal nutrition profile associated with an identified person. Receiving the personal nutrition profile for a person may be as an integrated part of a supplement composition process, as elaborated below. In some cases, the supplement composition process can be defined to be the process of composing a list of dietary supplements which assist the person to meet the target values of the nutrients minerals and vitamins, which the person may be required to meet. For example, a person may connect to the dietary management system for obtaining a list of supplements for consumption. Connecting a person to the management system may trigger a supplement composition process which an identified person is provided with a food and/or supplement list to be consumed. In some cases, the personal nutrition profile required for the supplement composition process may reside in the dietary management system. In some other cases, the personal nutrition profile may be provided by a third-party entity. For example, the dietary management system may obtain a personal nutrition profile associated with the person from a third-party service which provides personal nutrition profiles for other system. In some cases, such a third-party service may be able to communicate with the dietary management system and provide the required personal nutrition profdes per demand of the dietary management system.

At step 210 dietary management system may identify the personal nutrition list for the person. In such cases, the dietary management system may identify the list of nutrients, vitamins and minerals and the like, from information of the personal nutrition profiles. The dietary management system may also identify conflicts and limitations resulting from the nutrient list and conflict with drugs, smoking and allergies, in the personal nutrition profiles. For example, the dietary management system may identify a conflict between Iron and Calcium. In some cases, wherein a conflict is identified, the dietary management system may utilize a rule-based mechanism to resolve the conflicts. For example, the dietary management system may add Iron to a person in one part of the day and the Calcium in another part of the day. In such an exemplary case, the dietary management system may separate the intake of Iron, from Calcium

At step 215 the personal nutrition profile may identify the specific nutrient level relevant to the current supplement composition process. Thus, the nutrition list associated with the personal nutrition profile may be adjusted with some analyzing process such as identifying conflicts, identifying the relevant intake timings, and the like. At step 220 the dietary management system may prioritize the nutrition in the nutrition list according to the level of importance thereof. For example, in some cases the Iron may be prioritized in a higher priority level than the Calcium. In another exemplary case, a consumption of food with fat may receive a higher priority in case a vitamin D is required to be consumed by the person. In some cases, the dietary management system may adjust the nutrient list according to the time of the year. For example, according to the personal nutrition profile the person may be instructed to take a specific nutrient in different levels on the winter versus the nutrient level of this specific nutrient on the summer. In some cases, the dietary management system may adjust the nutrient levels according to the location on the globe or the need of the person like aging or sport and like. At step 225 the dietary management system may generate an adjusted recommended personal nutrition list associated with the current supplement composition process.

Fig. 2B shows a process for generating a predicted nutrient list a person may take over time, according to personal nutrition profile, in accordance with Fig. 2A. At step 235 the dietary management system may identify a personal nutrition profile associated with an identified person. In some cases, the personal nutrition profile required for the supplement composition process may reside in the dietary management system. In some other cases, the personal nutrition profile may be provided by a third-party entity.

At step 240 the dietary management system may obtain a prediction period which may define the time length for the prediction. The dietary management system may obtain the period from the person utilized the dietary management system. For example, the dietary management system may obtain that the period for the prediction may be one week. In such case, the prediction may be generated for one week ahead. In some cases, the prediction period may be a day, a week, a month, a year, or any reasonable period for the purpose of dietary management. At step 245 the dietary management system may identify the predicted personal nutrition list for the person, according to the prediction period. In such cases, the dietary management system may identify the list of nutrients, vitamins, minerales and the like, from information of the personal nutrition profdes. For example, in case the prediction period is one week, and the according to the personal nutrient profde said person may consume several doses daily, the predicted personal nutrition list may define the nutrient dose or intake the person may be instructed to consume daily.

The dietary management system may also identify conflicts and limitations resulting from the nutrient list and conflict with drugs smoking and allergies, in the personal nutrition profiles. For example, the dietary management system may identify a conflict between Iron and Calcium. In some cases, wherein a conflict is identified, the dietary management system may utilize a rule- based mechanism to resolve the conflicts. For example, the dietary management system may add Iron to a person in one part of the day and the Calcium in another part of the day. In such an exemplary case, the dietary management system may exclude the Iron, or the Calcium from the current nutrition list.

At step 250 the personal nutrition profile may identify the specific nutrient level relevant to the current supplement composition process. Thus, the nutrition list associated with the personal nutrition profile may be adjusted with some analyzing process such as identifying conflicts, identifying the relevant intake timings, and the like. At step 255 the dietary management system may prioritize the nutrition in the nutrient list according to the level of importance thereof, and according to the predication period. For example, in some cases the Iron may be prioritized in a higher priority level than the Calcium. In another exemplary case, a consumption of food with fat may receive a higher priority in days wherein the vitamin D is required to be consumed by the person. At step 260 the dietary management system may generate an adjusted nutrition list associated with the current supplement composition process, according to the prediction period. For example, the nutrition list may comprise the doses and the nutrient levels the person shall consume, daily.

Fig. 3A shows a process for generating a recommended nutrient list to a person, according to historic personal data and behavior, in accordance with exemplary embodiments of the present invention. In some cases, the historic personal data and behavior may comprise, medical history according to health events and tests, medical status according to tests and measurable health indicators, medicines and drugs consumption history, physical activity, medical condition, and the like. The medical conditions may be terminated according allergies, sensitivities, pregnancy, smoking fitness level and the like. At step 300 the dietary management system may identify a personal nutrition profile associated with an identified person. Identifying the personal nutrition profde for a person may be as an integrated part of a supplement composition process. For example, a person may connect to the dietary management system for obtaining a list of supplements provided by the dietary management system. The person connection may trigger a supplement composition process wherein the person is identified and provided with a nutrients and/or supplement list to be consumed.

At step 305 the dietary management system may obtain a list of an historic personal data and behavior of the person, utilizing a supplement composition process. In some cases, such a historic personal data and behavior may be provided by a third-party entity. Such an entity may be a computerized device, a computerized process associated with a computerized device, a personal computer, and the like. In some cases, such an historic personal data and behavior may comprise sleep conditions, sleep deprivation, historical nutrients consumption, nutritional balance, medical tests such as blood tests, historical supplements consumption, and the like. In some cases, receiving the historic personal data and behavior may be an integrated part of a supplement composition process as aforementioned.

At step 310 the dietary management system may execute an analyzing process for identifying the recommended nutrient list resulting of the historic personal data and behavior of the person. In some cases, the dietary management system may comprise a predefined conditions and formulas which can convert the historic personal data and behavior of the person to a nutrient list. For example, a list of parameters in a blood test may be translated to a list of recommended nutrients. In some embodiments of the present invention the dietary management system may indicate a need for additional data, according to the analyzing process for identifying the recommended nutrient list as a result of the historic personal data and behavior of the person. The required data may be based on a predefined condition list utilized in said analyzing process. The additional data may comprise an additional data about the nutritional balance, the timing of examining the nutritional balance, and the like. In some cases, the additional data may comprise data in tests such blood tests, biomarkers, data from an HCP, nutritional balance, biomarkers, and the like. In some embodiments of the present invention the dietary management system may execute the analyzing process for identifying the recommended nutrient list resulting of the historic personal data and behavior of a person, occasionally. For example, the analyzing process for identifying the recommended nutrient list resulting of the historic personal data and behavior of a person can be executed on daily, weekly, quarterly basis for reassessing the data, to optimize and to update the historic personal data and behavior of the person.

At step 315 the dietary management system may execute an analyzing process for identifying the nutrient delta between the personal nutrition profde of the person and the historic personal data and behavior of that person. For example, in case a person is required to consume a certain amount of Calcium and a corresponding level of vitamin D, resulting of osteoporosis. The dietary management system may analyze the historic personal data and behavior of the person, compare the historical data with the personal nutrition profile and amend the level of Calcium / Vitamin D. In such exemplary case, staying out in a sunny day, or performing exercise for people with osteoporosis may cause to changes in the recommended levels of the Calcium and/or Vitamin D in a certain supplement composition process At step 320 the dietary management system may execute an analyzing process for identifying the nutrients in the list generated at step 310 according to the levels of importance thereof. In some cases, the levels of importance may be driven from clinical weighing and / or balancing. For example, a certain Amino acid may be weighed with a lower level of importance than a Vitamin B12. The level of importance can also be customized for a specific person, according the person’s clinical and health conditions. For example, Vitamin K may be weighed with higher level of importance than Vitamin A for a person with symptoms such as bruising or hematomas due to inability of the blood to clot. At step 325 the dietary management system may utilize the analyzing processes as defined at step 310, 315 and 320 to generate a recommended behavior based nutrient list according to the person historical behavior. In some cases, the person historical behavior can comprise the number of steps the person performed during a predefined time period, the number of stairs the person climbed, the distance the person has ran, the number of minutes the person has seated, the number of minutes the person has performed physical activity, and the like.

The recommended nutrient list according to the person historical behavior. In generated by the dietary management system may comprise nutrients recommended for the person according to the person activities and behaviors. The recommended nutrient list may also comprise the quantities and the priorities of the recommended nutrients according to the historic personal data and behavior.

Fig. 3B shows a process for generating a recommended predicted nutrient list to a person, according to historic personal data and behavior, in accordance with Fig. 3A. At step 330 the dietary management system may obtain a list of an historic personal data and behavior of the person, utilizing a supplement composition process. In some cases, such a historic personal data and behavior may be provided by a third-party entity. Such an entity may be a computerized device, a computerized process associated with a computerized device, a personal computer, and the like. At step 335 the dietary management system may obtain a prediction period which may define the time length for the prediction. The dietary management system may obtain the period from the person utilized the dietary management system. In some cases, the prediction period may be stored as a numeric value in a memory unit managed by the dietary management system. In such cases, the process for generating a recommended predicted nutrient list to a person may be configured to access the numeric value in the memory unit. At step 340 the dietary management system may execute an analyzing process for identifying the recommended nutrient list resulting of the historic personal data and behavior of the person. In some cases, the dietary management system may comprise a predefined conditions and formulas which can convert the historic personal data and behavior of the person to a nutrient list. For example, a list of parameters in a blood test may be translated to a list of recommended nutrients. In some embodiments of the present invention the dietary management system may indicate a need for additional data, according to the analyzing process for identifying the recommended nutrient list as a result of the historic personal data and behavior of the person. The required data may be based on a predefined condition list utilized in said analyzing process. The additional data may comprise an additional data about the nutritional balance, the timing of examining the nutritional balance, and the like. In some cases, the additional data may comprise data in tests such blood tests, biomarkers, data from an HCP, nutritional balance, biomarkers, and the like. In some embodiments of the present invention the dietary management system may execute the analyzing process for identifying the recommended nutrient list resulting of the historic personal data and behavior of a person, occasionally.

At step 350 the dietary management system may execute an analyzing process for identifying the nutrient delta between the personal nutrition profde of the person and the historic personal data and behavior of that person. For example, in case a person is required to consume a certain amount of Calcium and a corresponding level of vitamin D, resulting of osteoporosis. The dietary management system may analyze the historic personal data and behavior of the person, compare the historical data with the personal nutrition profile and amend the level of Calcium / Vitamin D. In such exemplary case, staying out in a sunny day, or performing exercise for people with osteoporosis may cause to changes in the recommended levels of the Calcium and/or Vitamin D in a certain supplement composition process.

At step 355 the dietary management system may identify the recommended nutrient list resulting of the historic personal data and behavior of the person, according to the prediction period. In such cases, the dietary management system may identify the list of nutrients, vitamins and minerales and the like, from the historic personal data and behavior of the person. For example, in case the prediction period is one week, and the according to the historic personal data and behavior of the person said person may consume several doses daily, the predicted personal nutrient list may define the nutrient levels the person may be instructed to consume daily. The dietary management system may also identify conflicts and limitations resulting from history data such nutritional balance, the behavior including physical activity and the nutritional habits based on cultural, religious and other external influences, the biomarkers, the health conditions and the intake. In some cases, the dietary management system may also consider possible health issues which could occur as a result of bad nutritional behavior, chronic nutrient gap together with other causes.

At step 360 the dietary management system may execute an analyzing process for identifying the nutrients in the list generated at step 355 according to the levels of importance thereof. In some cases, the levels of importance may be driven from clinical weighing and / or balancing. For example, a certain Amino acid may be weighed with a lower level of importance than a Vitamin B12. The level of importance can also be customized for a specific person, according the person’s clinical and health conditions. For example, Vitamin K may be weighed with higher level of importance than Vitamin A for a person with symptoms such as bruising or hematomas due to inability of the blood to clot. At step 365 the dietary management system may generate a predicted and adjusted nutrient list associated with the current supplement composition process, according to the prediction period.

Fig. 4A shows a process for generating a recommended nutrient food list to the person, according to food list consumed by the person, in accordance with exemplary embodiments of the present invention. At step 400 the dietary management system may identify a personal nutrition profde associated with an identified person. Identifying the personal nutrition profile for a person may be as an integrated part of a supplement composition process. For example, a person may connect to the dietary management system for obtaining a list of supplements to be consumed. The person connection may trigger process wherein the person is identified and provided with a nutrition and/or supplement list to be consumed accorditng to the personal nutrition profde.

At step 405 the dietary management system may obtain a food list consumed by the person utilizing a supplement composition process. The food list consumed by a person can comprise food types, food ingredients, supplements, and the like, consumed by the person. The tracked food list can comprise quantities of the consumed food, ingredients and supplements. The dietary management system can analyze the food consumed by a person by nutrients and generate a list of foods or dietary supplements. The tracked food list can also comprise the scheduling of the food consumptions. For example, the food list consumed by the person can comprise group of foods which were eaten together and the time in the day which the foods were eaten. In some cases, such a food list consumed by the person may be provided by a third-party entity.
