Session Summary:
Digitization and Nutrition Informatics today has taken a big leap across the globe. Technology advancement especially under the umbrella of Nutrition is expanding vividly.
The National Family Health Survey, District Level Household Survey, Annual Health Survey, National Nutrition Monitoring Bureau Survey, Rapid Survey on Children and Comprehensive National Nutrition Survey are the various extensive national health and nutrition surveys provide national-level information on different domains of health. These provide vital information and statistics for the country, and the data generated are used to identify the prevalence and risk factors for the diseases and health challenges faced by a country.
“It is hard to imagine anything that would ‘change everything’ as much as a cheap, powerful, ubiquitous [cloud] intelligence — the kind of synthetic mind that learns and improves itself. A very small amount of real intelligence embedded into an existing process would boost its effectiveness to another level. We could apply mindfulness wherever we now apply nutrition concepts. The ensuing change would be hundreds of times more positive to our lives showcasing the transforming power of Nutrition using technology.”
