Study goals
To develop an interactive digital menu using artificial intelligence and neuroscience to recommend personalized meals in fitness restaurants, considering customers’ food preferences, health goals, and dietary restrictions to enhance the overall dining experience and promote healthy eating practices.
Relevance / originality
The solution integrates neuroscience and artificial intelligence for real-time meal suggestions, addressing limitations of self-reported systems. Nutritional personalization in restaurants remains underdeveloped, despite market growth and consumer demand for more tailored, data-driven food service solutions.
Methodology / approach
The project follows an exploratory approach with requirements gathering, bibliographic and technological research, qualitative and quantitative analysis, user testing, and iterative development. The sample includes managers, nutritionists, and active consumers. The algorithm will be tested and refined based on the feedback obtained.
Main results
Expected outcomes include a functional system with intuitive interface, structured nutritional database, and validated recommendation algorithm. The system will deliver customized suggestions, reduce waste, and facilitate dietary choices aligned with users’ health goals and individual consumption patterns.
Theoretical / methodological contributions
The project incorporates neurocognitive variables into artificial intelligence applications in food services. It contributes to the development of machine learning algorithms based on real data, advancing research in personalized nutrition and digital innovation in food service technologies.
Social / management contributions
The solution may contribute to improve management in fitness restaurants by optimizing menus and resources. It can increase access to healthy food, support consumers with dietary restrictions, and assist public nutrition policies focused on personalization, food safety, and waste reduction.
