Abstract

Using applications in Smartphones and other smart devices that improve or help people’s lives and nutrition is getting more and more common. And this also happens in the elderly. There are several applications in the market related to the control of people nutrition in order to lose weight, follow a certain diet, etc. However, these applications may be very tedious as users have to introduce by hand all the aliments they have consumed along the day.
