A Framework for Personalized Diet and Exercise Guideline Recommendation - Technologies and Applications of Artificial Intelligence - page 281

4 Conclusion and Future Work

This work presented a novel framework called VASP (Virtual Assistant System for
Personal health management) in order to provide effective personalized health care
with analyzing the report of regular comprehensive physical examination. In addition,
this work also designed a diet and exercise guideline recommendation module to
effectively collect the impact of diet and exercise guidelines on different physical
examination items by medical experts, as well as discussed with medical experts to
provide an impact calculation of guidelines for recommending personal guidelines for
users. We expect that the proposed framework can significantly reduce the loads of
healthcare providers and can help them improve the efficiency and quality of patient
care.
With regard to future developments, the implemented system will be subjected to a
practical evaluation by medical experts, health care providers and users/patients to get
useful feedback and suggestions on the system. In addition, we would apply institu-
tional review board for our framework to prove that VASP is feasible for use in a clin-
ical environment.
