Description
Summary:Malnutrition is a prevelant issue in older adults, as it can lead to adverse health effects such as heart disease, high blood pressure, and diabetes. To address this concerning issue, we propose a novel smart home assistant using Google's Gemini to provide nutritional guidance to a user. Results find that the proposed system can provide the user more in-depth answers - specifically in the case of recipe assistance - than Amazon Alexa and Google Nest. This indicates the potential for the proposed system to assist in combating malnutrition, by providing conversational answers to smart home inquiries.
