Revolutionizing Nutrient Care: Trends, Tech, and Monitoring Innovations – A Comprehensive Review

Zaid Khan

Abstract


Nutrition plays a pivotal role in human health, encompassing a wide spectrum of nutrients crucial for bodily functions. Nutrients are typically divided into two categories: macronutrients and micronutrients, and people often use dietary supplements to augment their intake of these essential elements. However, the use of such supplements can have both benefits and risks, necessitating careful monitoring and prescription. This review highlights recent advancements in the monitoring of nutrients, with a focus on biomarkers, wearable devices, and artificial intelligence (AI). Biomarkers offer precise measurements of nutritional status, integrating dietary intake and biological responses. Wearable devices, including sweat sensors and electrochemical sensors, provide practical and portable solutions for real-time nutrient tracking. AI, coupled with big data, enhances nutritional assessment and personalized health management. Furthermore, the study emphasizes the importance of monitoring nutrients in specific populations, such as pregnant women and post-bariatric surgery patients, to prevent deficiencies and adverse effects. It also underscores the potential benefits of AI in healthcare but stresses the need for ethical considerations. In conclusion, advancements in nutrient monitoring through biomarkers, wearable devices, and AI have the potential to revolutionize healthcare and nutrition. These technologies offer the promise of personalized dietary guidance and improved health outcomes, provided that ethical and policy considerations are prioritized.
