Automatic, wearable-based, in-field eating detection approaches for public health research: a scoping review

Abstract Dietary intake, eating behaviors, and context are important in chronic disease development, yet our ability to accurately assess these in research settings can be limited by biased traditional self-reporting tools. Objective measurement tools, specifically, wearable sensors, present the opp...
