Background: Digital food records offer efficiencies in collecting and assessing dietary information remotely; however, research into factors impacting their translation into clinical settings is limited.

Methods: The study examined factors that may impact the integration of digital food records into clinical dietetic practice by assessing (1) the source and rate of data errors received, (2) the impact of dietitian-adjusted data on dietary variables and (3) the acceptance of use in a complex chronic condition cohort. Adults from specialist clinics enroled in a randomised controlled feasibility trial participated.

Article Synopsis
  • This study presents a new method for diagnosing hepatic steatosis using microwave technology and deep learning, aimed at improving early detection of chronic liver diseases.
  • The model, named HepNet, incorporates advanced techniques like skip connections and transfer learning, allowing it to effectively learn from limited clinical data and outperform traditional models in accuracy.
  • The simulation results demonstrated exceptional classification performance, with an F1-score of 0.91, and high scores of 0.95 and 0.88 in clinical validation, indicating its strong potential for real-world application.
