A system is provided that predicts eating events for a user. The system includes a set of sensors each of which is configured to continuously measure a different physiological variable associated with the user and output a time-stamped data stream that includes the current value of this variable. A set of features is periodically extracted from the data stream output from each of the sensors, where these features have been determined to be specifically indicative of an about-to-eat moment. This set of features is then input into an about-to-eat moment classifier that has been trained to predict when the user is in an about-to-eat moment based on this set of features. Whenever an output of the classifier indicates that the user is currently in an about-to-eat moment, the user is notified with a just-in-time eating intervention. |
