Analysis of Trends in the Development of Automated Systems for Solving the Problems of Food Hygiene

Background. The article considers the problem of developing automated systems for solving food hygiene problems, the solution of which is associated with the need to take into account a large number of interrelated quantitative and qualitative characteristics of human health and diets. The conditions necessary to ensure that the developed software meets the requirements of digital medicine and digital health are shown. Materials and methods. The information base was the results of scientific and applied research of specialists in the field of nutrition, dietology and medical informatics, for the analysis of which the methods of system analysis and software engineering were used. Results. The most common computer programs used to analyze the actual nutrition and develop personalized recommendations for optimizing the nutritional status of the patient are analyzed. As a result, it is substantiated that there is no software that would fully meet the requirements of Russian specialists in the field of food hygiene, nutritionists and dieticians, and key requirements for such software are formulated. Conclusions. The results of the study will improve the efficiency of solving the problems of developing software for analyzing the nutritional status of representatives of various socio-professional groups of the population with the formation of personalized recommendations for its optimization, and will also contribute to rational positioning and promotion of the developed software on the market.
