Abstract

The quantified self-movement has gained a lot of traction, recently. In this regard, research in personalized wellness support systems has increased. Most of the recommender systems focus on either calorie-burn or calorie-in take objectives. The achievement of calorie-burn objective is through physical activity recommendations while diet recommendations geared towards calorie-in take objectives. A very limited research is performed which track and optimize objectives for both calorie-burn and calorie-in-take, simultaneously based on well-known wellness support guidelines. In this regard, we propose a hybrid recommendation framework, which provides recommendations for physical activity as well as diet recommendation in order to support wellness requirements of a user in a comprehensive manner.
