Project description
A platform for personalised nutrition
In the era of obesity and diabetes and the ample availability of food choices and services, it is necessary to understand which foods are safe for each one of us. This is determined by genetic and acquired factors, including the intestinal microbiome and the exercise routine. To support personalised nutrition and overcome associated health issues, the EU-funded NUTRISHIELD project will develop an innovative framework that assists people to implement better nutrition choices. The platform will be based on information collected from clinical trials on young people with obesity and/or diabetes, studies on preterm infants, as well as information on the role of nutrition on cognitive development. Through a personalised nutrition algorithm, NUTRISHIELD aims to make personalised diets a reality.
Objective
NUTRISHIELD aims at creating a personalised platform for the young. The platform will consist of novel methods & techniques, which analyse a wide range of biomarkers related to nutrition and health disorders. Based on findings, the platform then uses ICT, by expanding existing nutrition assistive mobile apps, in order to provide feedback and steering people towards a better nutrition. This takes into account the way each person responds to different nutrients and food types, by also analysing phenotype, genome expression, microbiome composition, health condition, mental & psychological condition, as well as financial capabilities for procuring food.
