Food Log - AI4DM is meant to track the user’s daily food intake. This skill is designed for specific users involved in a research project at University of Alabama at Birmingham (AI4DM) to log their food intake throughout the day which will help the health coaches to guide the participant in maintaining healthy habits. To use the food log, you need to begin by saying Alexa, I want to log my food. You need to answer to few simple questions asked by Alexa: - What did you eat?
- At what time did you eat?
- How much did you have? Alexa will ask for the food log detail until it gets the information about Food Name (e.g., Apple), TimeOfMeal (e.g., Breakfast), and Quantity (e.g. 2) before saving it. You can log as many food intakes as you want by saying "I WANT TO LOG MORE". OR
You can say “STOP” or “I AM DONE” to end the session. Anytime if you're lost, you can ask for 'HELP' or 'CANCEL' the request.
