Gustabor server: AI based web platform providing individual lifestyle tips and recipe recommendations based on the patient's individual data and taste disorder
Study summary
The study investigates taste disorders that commonly occur during or after cancer treatment, often leading to issues such as malnutrition and treatment discontinuation. Although many non-pharmacological recommendations exist, it is unclear which methods are suitable for which individuals. This pilot study aims to use an AI-based, or rule-driven system to generate personalized recommendations based on patients' specific impairments and taste disorder. For the pilot study, the AI will be trained on recipes to create individualized meal plans, helping to identify foods that are likely to be better. The primary endpoint is the assessment of the nutritional intervention as helpful at the second visit within 12 weeks of inclusion.
