摘要：Chronic diseases, such as diabetes, heart disease and stroke, are the leading cause of mortality in the world. Recent studies show that 382 million people have diabetes in 2013 and the number will rise to 592 million by 2035. To mitigate the effect of chronic diseases, patients are advised to follow strict nutritional rules. However, with the widespread of processed food, it is hard for the chronic disease patients to recognize what kind of food that must be avoided. In this paper, we present a personalized food advisory system that can be used by chronic disease patients to manage and control their food intake. The proposed system evaluated by using interview approach with 15 experts from medical domain. The preliminary result confirms the importance of having such system to assist chronic diseases patients to follow the nutritional rules.
