The Diagnostic Kitchen concept allows people to manage their food consumption, activity and general health through a combination of testing procedures and monitoring devices. Rather than relying on general information and calorie charts for body sizes the system makes it possible to scan and analyze what we eat based on a personal digestive and health profile. A hand held device or “wand” tracks consumption and activity levels, recommends specific foods in response to electrolyte and nutrient depletion and provides continuous feedback. A metabolic profile is created using a swallowable sensor and digestive health and food intolerance tests.
