Special Offer! Use coupon code N26FIFTY for half off through December 31!
AI is reshaping dietary assessment and point-of-decision coaching, but its value hinges on validity, transparency, and safeguards. This session brings together experts in computer vision, behavioral nutrition, and implementation science to map the current evidence, compare AI vs. human/ground-truth methods, and outline best practices for model training, testing, and privacy. Speakers will address academic prototypes and commercial tools, dataset curation, and guardrails for adaptive systems.
Presentations will include speakers addressing (1) an introduction to Nutrition AI and academic pipelines, (2) adaptive AI, training, and guardrails, and (3) a landscape review and academia–industry apps.
Originally presented at NUTRITION 2026, ASN's flagship meeting which was held July 25-28 in National Harbor, MD
