Diet Learning Across the Lifespan

NuCook
Stanford Well-Being Design Challenge, 2017-2018

The aim of the challenge is to promote healthy behaviors throughout the life span through design. Our team focused on aiding the ability to cook nutritious foods according to individuals' dietary requirements. To support individuals across the lifespan, NuCook records frequently used recipes and personalizes them according to evolving taste and/or nutritional needs.

Project Objective

NuCook is designed to support healthy dietary patterns throughout one's lifespan. Nucook's aim is to empower primary food providers who are time short, cash strapped and overwhelmed by new dietary limitations emerging in their household.

01

Taste Profile

NuCook organizes your most frequently used and favorite recipes into categories. This informs how sweet, sour, salty, tangy and bitter you typically like certain categories of food.

02

Health Profile Match

Biometric data, conditions mineral deficiencies and allergies are entered or synced. This lets NuCook know what recommendations and recipe modifications (such as ingredient substitutes) to recommend to you.

03

Household View

Add members of your household to receive recommendations and recipe modifications that shift as they do.

04

Habit Learning

Through convenience and nudges, NuCook makes it easier to learn new grocery routines.

05

Recommendations

As your taste profile evolves or health profile shifts, new recommendations will be offered to you; perhaps even alternate versions of old favorites that you can refresh for your new dietary requirements, or meals that would be best shared among groups of friends, family or relatives.

07

Substitutions

Dietary restrictions doesn't mean that recipes that have been handed down in the family or cultural favorites should be replaced. NuCook finds ways to preserve heritage dishes by substituting ingredients that make your health profile smile while maintaining the flavor profile you love about them.

08

Impact

Nucook's aim is to empower primary food providers who are time short, cash strapped and overwhelmed by new dietary limitations emerging, for themselves and members of their household.
