This AI research tool developed by the National Research Council Canada tracks eating patterns in older adults to detect dietary changes that may affect health and cognitive function. It is designed to improve accuracy and reduce the burden of self-reporting compared to traditional monitoring methods. The system is currently in development and is used by Government of Canada employees. Individuals whose nutritional intake is monitored should be aware that, according to the register, AI use is not currently disclosed to those affected.
