Abstract
Method and apparatus for monitoring eating behavior are disclosed. A wearable device including an imaging sensor, an electromyography (EMG) sensor, and a processing unit is configured to collect EMG data via the EMG sensor, transmit the EMG data to a computing device, receive a control signal to capture one or more images via the imaging sensor, capture, one or more images, and transmit the one or more images. A computing device is disclosed including a processor and a memory containing a machine learning model and computer program code that, when executed, performs an operation. The operation includes receiving EMG data, processing the EMG data as input to a trained machine learning model, transmitting the control signal to capture one or more images via the imaging sensor, receiving the one or more images, and determining nutritional content of the food or beverage using the one or more images.
