ST2029: GlucoGuide System

KEIRA TAY JIA XUAN Taylor's College

The increasing prevalence of obesity, diabetes, and unhealthy eating habits highlights the need for effective and accessible tools to support healthy dietary behaviour. Current health-tracking apps and calorie-monitoring devices often rely on manual food logging, frequent phone use, and indirect calorie estimates, leading to inaccuracies and reduced user engagement. These systems also tend to monitor outcomes passively rather than directly influencing eating behaviour during meals.
 
The GlucoGuide system is an innovative smart eating device designed to promote mindful eating and support glucose management through real-time behavioural monitoring. It integrates weight sensors, motion sensors, a gyroscope, and timing systems to detect bite frequency, food quantity, and eating speed. Combined with Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM) data and artificial intelligence, it learns individual eating patterns and predicts potential glucose spikes linked to specific foods and behaviours.
 
The device provides immediate feedback, such as prompts to slow eating or reduce bite size, and syncs with a mobile app for long-term dietary and glucose tracking, supporting healthier lifestyle choices.
