DESENVOLVIMENTO DE UM APLICATIVO MÓVEL PARA REALIZAR A CONTAGEM DE CARBOIDRATOS EM REFEIÇÕES A PARTIR DE UM SISTEMA DE VISÃO COMPUTACIONAL

Abstract

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a condition characterized by hyperglycemia. Carbohydrates present in foods are the nutrients that have the greatest impact on blood glucose levels, as they are fully converted to glucose after ingestion and absorption. Thus, solutions aimed at carbohydrate counting (CHO) in meals enable greater flexibility and enhance the quality of life for individuals with this condition, serving as an adjunct to treatment. Therefore, the present study aimed to develop a mobile application that automates CHO counting through user-taken photographs of food.
