Food trackers: The Best Wearable Watch for (Tracing?) Food

“You are what you eat.” Said Zuriñe, one of the famous bloggers in wearable technology field. Today more and more people began to beware of their health problems and gradually they noticed that some of the diseases around us like obesity might be closely related to their daily habits. Thus, they became to attach more attention to the physical activities to solve parts of the problem food intake and found out more technologies to help improve the food quality, or to balance their life via tracking food intake. Though nowadays not all the data in the apps on the market are reliable, some new devices, like Apple Watches still provide an excellent job for that. But that’s more we can do to search for new devices tracking food intake automatically without you having to worry about numbers, quantities, meals, and cheating the app.

An Innovation Watch

 Bite Count, a human wrist rolls in a distinctive pattern during eating recently shows us a new style for foodies. Wearing the special watch, you can track wrist motion to count bites and estimate calories. It provides real-time feedback on the amount consumed and stores a long-term tag.

This allows for an easy control, sustained self-monitoring and feedback during eating instead of only at the end of day. The device can be used to measure consumption during meals and other periods of continuous eating. It will have to be turned on at the start and turned off at the end of each eating activity. So, the innovation of the watch really monitor and facilitate of people’s life, for example, to balance people’s daily weight and help them with portion control and sustain self-monitoring.Moreover, it can also give feedback during eating and role as a personal consultant to monitor long-term observation for everyday eating activity.

Evaluation on the Watch

Since wearable technology really rose a heat among people, some specialists carried a survey among young adults. And according to the results, we can find that groups provided with Bites can reduce overall intake during a single meal. Moreover, participants can also reach the ideal healthy goals with the help of the watches. However, individuals in the low goal condition appeared to compensate for the restricted goal by taking larger bites, leading to comparable levels of consumption between the low and high goal groups. Hence, the interaction of technology with goals should be considered when introducing a health intervention.

During the research above, we can see that the wearable watches provide people guidance for a balanced energetic life and it also can be reliable. Nevertheless, the watch doesn’t provide other functions for food purchases and sports record, as well as some standard line of healthy for people to evaluate themselves via comparisons. Listing Apple Watch as an example, people can trace their health record and meanwhile, they can purchase anything on the watch easily, rather than turn on the phone again. I believe this will much broaden the market for Bite Count if the new functions could be added into. All in all, it’s an excellent applicator working as a daily health advisor, which facilitates most of people’s daily life.

Recommendations of the Watch

When it comes to recommendations, yes- I would say “yes!” for my clients who wants to pursue a high-quality life!  With Bite Count, people no longer worries about the over-input of the food choices and focus more on the health route to enjoy the life!

All in all, food is great if we could enjoy a balance diet. After all, food makes life beautiful and we shouldn’t worry too much about our choices. We hope to see a lot more solutions for food intake tracking on the market, making the tracking of food intake easy and pleasant, giving a slight hint from time to time – just in case we are overdoing it!
