Abstract
In the modern fast and stressful life, an individual does not have time to take an extra care for one's self. Support from general information about health and nutrient requirement through modern computing infrastructure is very limited and common. Generic information on the Web and other media sometime raises genuine queries about the good health. Further, typical solutions available may not interact with users in friendly way and deal with vague inputs provided by users. To resolve this issue, a system is required which knows its users, acts smartly and friendly, learns from past data & history and provides customised advisory. This chapter introduces a neuro-fuzzy architecture, based on which an expert system for determination of nutrient requirements is presented. The chapter includes in depth literature survey, concepts, implementation details with sample code, neural network structure, fuzzy membership functions used, sample input–output screens of the system and future work.
