What We Can Study

The findings from Everyone EATS can be applied to a broad range of research areas. Nutrition and health are the most obvious applications, but accurate dietary data can inform public policy, such as how food banks distribute provisions or how cities root out food deserts. Looking to the future, Everyone EATS technology could help AI recognize dietary patterns and project health outcomes.
