Abstract

BACKGROUND: Diet modification is a mainstay for the successful management of metabolic syndrome and potentially may reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. Accurate estimation of essential nutrients in daily meals is currently challenging to quantify. HAKARIUM (AstraZeneca Co., Ltd., Osaka, Japan) is a recently introduced artificial intelligence (AI)-based application that can estimate each nutrient component through photographs, although its applicability to real-world practice remains unknown.
