Interactive Support and Counseling System for People with Weight Problems and

Chronic Diseases

Technical Field

The invention is related to an interactive support system which can be used in application software prepared for mobile devices such as smart phones, tablet computers and smart watches for introducing nutritional habits of healthy people to people with health problems ( such as failure to lose weight, obesity or failure to gain weight, thinness) and helping them to get rid of their weight problems without using a diet list and even without making calorie calculation.

Prior Art

Today, people experiencing weight problems ( such as failure to lose weight, obesity or failure to gain weight, thinness) try to get rid of their problems by using practices such as diet lists, calorie calculation etc. Although these procedures are monitored by dietitians, there is no interactive follow-up. A dietitian cannot warn the person concerned for each meal. In addition, a dietitian does not know about people's daily walking and sports activities.

The application software designed to work on mobile devices such as smart phones, tablets and smart watches is called mobile application. They are generally downloaded from the platform specific application stores. Almost everyone has smart devices today.

Although the word "interactive" originating from English means "ctkilcsimli" in Turkish, no consensus has been reached on the definition of this concept in the fields of computer science, communication and operational design (industrial design). Interactivity is similar to the concept of responsiveness, and it is the communication process in which the degree to which a message is dependent on past messages as well as the relationships between them. As a communication term, interactive means to communicate through mutual interaction. It is also used for objects that affect each other mutually. The national patent with document TR2019 / 00734 in the present art describes an interactive artificial intelligence application system used in the treatment of vestibular rehabilitation. Said system is related to an interactive artificial intelligence application system used in vestibular rehabilitation treatment developed to fully automate the vestibular rehabilitation treatment (VRT) to increase the static and dynamic compensation and to activate their adaptation mechanisms of the patients with balance disorders; which is characterized as incorporating an interactive artificial intelligence algorithm supported by mobile devices, accuracy analysis algorithm that controls whether the patient's movements are performed with the desired accuracy, server recording system that allows the recorded motion results to be recorded on the server, patient control structure that controls whether the number of unsuccessful exercised is 5 or above the given threshold value , the supervisory / evaluation algorithm that allows the doctor or contact person to check the data stored on the server, exercise videos specially selected for the patient, the feedback structure to ask the patient whether he / she understands the training on the mobile device, and the communication structure allowing mutual communication between the patient and the physician. Such system is intended for use in vestibular rehabilitation treatment only. It is used only in the treatment of motion-oriented diseases.

Purpose of the Invention

The purpose of the invention is to obtain an interactive support system for introducing nutritional habits of healthy people to people with health problems ( such as failure to lose weight, obesity or failure to gain weight, thinness) and helping them to get rid of their weight problems without using a diet list and even without making calorie calculation.

Another purpose of the invention is to provide an interactive support system that helps prevent malnutrition by sending notifications to people who have weight problems daily at certain times. Another purpose of the invention is to provide an interactive support system specific to people with certain disorders that automatically prevents notification of their illness by preventing malnutrition.

The interactive support and consultancy system developed to achieve these objectives is composed of following process steps; selecting and purchasing one of the interactive support and consulting system membership packages online (SI 001), downloading and installing the application on the smart device (SI 002), notifying the user on the conditions of use of the support and consulting system and checking whether the user accepts (S1003), if the conditions of use are accepted, checking the user's (client's) profile (S1004), if the profile is ready, determining the level of the user (client) in the program (S1005), after determining the level of the use (client), sending “Biological Rhythm Recovery” and “Rhythmic Nutrition Habits” messages (text, image and / or video) to the user every day, all day long according to actual time (S1006), checking whether the user is ready for the next level (S1007), if the user is ready for the next level, moving the profile to the next level (S1008).

Detailed Explanation of the Invention

The invention is related to an interactive support and consultancy system which can be used in application software prepared for mobile devices such as smart phones, tablet computers and smart watches for introducing nutritional habits of healthy people to people with health problems ( such as failure to lose weight, obesity or failure to gain weight, thinness) and helping them to get rid of their weight problems without using a diet list and even without making calorie calculation.

The procedure to be followed to use the interactive support and consultancy system subject to the present invention is as follows;

The client purchases the interactive treatment package over the internet,

Once the purchase is completed, the system transmits the client's data from the website, The artificial intelligence sends messages about how to install application via internet and / or GSM messaging applications (Whatsapp, Viber, SMS etc.),

The user downloads the application via the application stores (Appstore, Google Play, Amazon etc.),

Once the application is downloaded, the user enters his/her phone numbers in the application interface,

A confirmation message is sent to the user via Internet and / or GSM messaging applications (Whatsapp, Viber, SMS etc.),

The user enters the confirmation message to the application and is directed to the screen to create a user profile following verification.

The user enters his/her name, surname, country, language, lifestyle, weight and height information and saves his/her profile,

The artificial intelligence sends a greeting (welcome, etc.) message to the user. The artificial intelligence sends information, guidance and motivation messages on a regular basis at different time periods according to the life style of the user.

Messages are sent by artificial intelligence as picture, video or text format according to the local time in countries concerned. Users can ask questions through the application. The user (client) can share his / her information as a picture. The artificial intelligence compares the question asked with the previously asked questions and proposes the most appropriate one to the administrator. The administrator may either use the answer given by the artificial intelligence or enter a new answer. The artificial intelligence can perform machine learning by using these answers entered.

The artificial intelligence algorithm divides the questions asked into words. It matches every word to words that it resembles using fuzzy logic. It generates a key by taking the two words before and after each word with broken combinations of a word. It connects the response with these keys and increases the weight of this key if there is more than one same key. When the question is asked, it repeats the process of dividing all words and generating keys. It searches these keys in the previous keys, and selects the answer that matches with the highest number of keys from among the answers corresponding to each key.

The invention is related to an interactive support and consultancy system which can be used in application software prepared for mobile devices such as smart phones, tablet computers and smart watches for introducing nutritional habits of healthy people to people with health problems ( such as failure to lose weight, obesity or failure to gain weight, thinness) and helping them to get rid of their weight problems without using a diet list and even without making calorie calculation and it is composed of following process steps;
