CordonGris

Three core components will be developed: an integration service with open and extensible APIs that allow integrating the system with third party devices, systems and infrastructures; user interfaces that will allow people to interact with the system, both to input information, such as food intake logging, and to get help planning their meals and shopping; a recommendation engine for the analysis of all information and generation of recommendations through algorithms developed within the project. The project plans to involve around 110 users and three companies in three countries (Portugal, United Kingdom and the Netherlands) throughout different stages in the project. The field trials are planned to cover the following scenarios:  serviced apartments, nursing homes, day-care centres, home support as well as independent, community dwelling seniors.

Objectives

The number of malnourished seniors reaching emergency rooms is alarming. Socio-economic status, culture or personal preferences are some of the key elements to deliver food recommendations that are healthy and accepted. CordonGris will gather and manage data that are relevant for this purpose (e.g. activity monitoring, country-specific food composition tables, retailers’ information), make sense of these data and generate recommendations that balance healthy eating, physical activity and a budget constraint. CordonGris is providing the conditions for ‘flat-rate food’ to become a reality for seniors.

Expected results and impact

  1. Identification of main rules and development of algorithms to support a recommendation engine that fosters healthy eating on a budget.
  2. Integration with retailers and design of the service(s) in the three participating countries.
  3. Inclusively designed user interfaces.
  4. Reaching the market 2 years after project end.
