Introduction

The dietary propensities for individuals straightforwardly sway their ailments. Particularly in senior populaces (in 2017, 6.7% of the total populace was more than 65 years old), these propensities could prompt significant supplement misfortunes that could genuinely influence their mental and practical state. As of late, an extraordinary exploration exertion has been given to involving various innovations and proposing various strategies for observing food-admission. By and by, these strategies are generally nonexclusive yet utilize the most imaginative innovations and procedures to get the most ideal checking results. In any case, a huge level of old individuals lives in eradicated country regions (in Spain, 28.1% of the older populace lives in this sort of region) with a delicate social and financial setting. The utilization of these methods in these conditions is urgent to further developing this gathering's personal satisfaction (and in any event, diminishing their medical services costs) [1]. Simultaneously, it is particularly difficult since they have unmistakable and severe prerequisites with respect to the utilization and use of innovation.

Elders are an especially distraught gathering regarding sustenance, particularly whenever contrasted and the remainder of the populace in created nations. As often as possible, the old endure changes in their wholesome examples that, at times, can make huge harms their state of being. For example, a few more seasoned individuals make progress with their dietary propensities, expanding their admission of oily and pungent food, or diminishing all ingested food. This difference in designs ordinarily prompts significant supplement misfortunes that straightforwardly impact the wellbeing of more seasoned individuals. Insufficient dietary patterns can create significant issues in the capacity and mental status of elderly folks, notwithstanding a higher pace of mortality, for example, because of cardiovascular issues or anorexia episodes.

Food-consumption observing is planned to obtain data, for example, the quantity of nutrients, minerals and different substances ingested by an individual. This data is then utilized for the recognizable proof of nourishing examples and the location of healthful issues. Most works in this field center around the condition of nourishment and their relationship with various infections, like obesity, Alzheimer's disease, depression, and metabolic disorder [2].

As a general rule, these methodologies propose to intermittently do different reviews to the old to know their food-admission designs, what their ailments are, and the advancement of both. In this interaction, the predominant strategy for diet checking is physically recording overview results. Notwithstanding, this is a monotonous interaction that closures with a low adherence rate, lessening its drawn out adequacy [3]. To resolve the issue introduced by manual recording, various mechanical arrangements have been proposed. These arrangements present the utilization of a wide scope of gadgets, advancements, and calculations to consequently recognize various parts of the food-consumption process, similar to the sort of food being eaten and how much ingested calories, or distinguishing the individual ingesting the food.

Notwithstanding, food-consumption checking arrangements have extra challenges while considering the conditions of a maturing populace, especially when the observed older folks live in provincial conditions like the ones referenced previously. The absence of framework, the low typical specialized abilities of individuals living on these districts, the forlornness of elderly folks, etc., obstruct the arrangement and utilization of food-consumption checking frameworks.

Existing checking frameworks normally center around specialized viewpoints connected with robotizing the observing system and further developing accuracy in food and admission location. Viewpoints like by and large client impression, social acknowledgment, or framework yields are frequently thought of. Notwithstanding, most works in all actuality do not consider the particular setting where the frameworks are sent. This is especially pertinent on account of elderly people living in rustic districts, since a few perspectives must be considered to make them reasonable for these conditions [4]:

Poverty: Rural districts are generally probably the most financially distraught areas in created nations. In this way, the expense of an observing framework is an applicable element.

Specialized abilities: As a rule, senior populaces are not the most actually talented segment. Also, provincial areas have below the norm proficiency records. By and large, older folks living in these locales seriously need specialized abilities to utilize and deal with these observing frameworks.

Frameworks: Rural districts likewise experience the ill effects of absence of foundation. These inadequacies range from mechanical frameworks, similar to the absence of broadband or even stable web association, to fundamental foundations, similar to street or train access, or even admittance to new food.

Wellbeing experts: Connected with the past trademark, these districts likewise have huge lacks regarding wellbeing experts and frameworks. Little towns in these areas are normally distant from emergency clinics or nursing homes, blocking occupant admittance to wellbeing experts.

Dejection: All of the above add to senior dejection. Individuals living in these districts generally invest a large portion of their energy alone. This ought to be considered by any food-admission observing framework since they can't be regulated.

Techniques used in tracking the food intake

Food-consumption observing innovations into the accompanying classifications [5]:

Cell phone: This class incorporates approaches in view of cell phone innovations, like the actual gadget, versatile applications (APPs) or explicit cell phone's sensors. In this class are incorporated those works whose primary commitment is innovation focused on cell phones.

Picture based strategies: Applications, strategies and additionally calculations that could get undeniable level comprehension from advanced pictures or recordings. This classification incorporates papers whose fundamental commitment is innovation that utilizes pictures or video to get information and data.

Wearables: Arrangements in view of electronic gadgets that can be worn on the body, either as a frill or as a feature of attire material.

Savvy Home: This classification integrates progressed computerization frameworks to furnish older folks with modern checking and controlling frameworks over home capacities.

IoT: Approaches in light of the Internet of Things (IoT) worldview, for example, Internet-associated gadgets with sensors. Whenever an IoT gadget was intended to be utilized at home, we set it in the Smart Home classification.

Single board computers: Advancements in view of little PCs, particularly utilized for composing archives or handling little or light programming frameworks. This sort of innovation is generally connected with minimal expense or low energy utilization projects.

Others: Arrangements that couldn't be remembered for the previous classifications (for instance, website pages, calculations, ontologies, and so on).
