Abstract

Eating an appropriate food volume, maintaining the required calorie count, and making good nutritional choices are key factors for reducing the risk of obesity, which has many consequences such as Osteoarthritis (OA) that affects the patient’s knee. In this paper, we present a wearable sensor in the form of a necklace embedded with a piezoelectric sensor, that detects skin movement from the lower trachea while eating. In contrast to the previous state-of-the-art piezoelectric sensor-based system that used spectral features, our system fully exploits temporal amplitude-varying signals for optimal features, and thus classifies foods more accurately. Through evaluation of the frame length and the position of swallowing in the frame, we found the best performance was with a frame length of 30 samples (1.5 s), with swallowing located towards the end of the frame. This demonstrates that the chewing sequence carries important information for classification. Additionally, we present a new approach in which the weight of solid food can be estimated from the swallow count, and the calorie count of food can be calculated from their estimated weight. Our system based on a smartphone app helps users live healthily by providing them with real-time feedback about their ingested food types, volume, and calorie count.
