So, AI can do a lot of things. But it needs input data. So I was thinking, do we currently have any technology that could generate metrics that an AI might be able to train on such that it could estimate calories gotten from a meal. Not what was in the food, but what the body actually absorbed.
Obviously it could be used to make a killer diet tracking app. Cause tracking what you eat is the worst part.
And collecting the metric doesn’t have to be “practical” today. This is just more of a thought experiment. So if currently it would require multiple blood tests per day or something, that would still be interesting to me.
Stool samples can probably generate the best data set.
Hm. Well I did say what was eaten at the top. And I could see stool giving that information. But I clarified in the middle that I meant what was absorbed. If that was what you were thinking, can you elaborate?
