Seminar: Remote food photography to measure dietary intake

In this seminar, Dr. Martin will introduce the Remote Food Photography Method and complementary SmartIntake® smartphone app as a method to measure dietary intake among individuals as well as assess the quality of food environments in community settings, such as schools and childcares. He will present information on the validity and feasibility of the Remote Food Photography Method among adults, adolescents, and children in controlled and free-living environments. The seminar will be interactive, providing attendees the opportunity to explore integration of the Remote Food Photography Method into their nutrition and obesity research programs at the University of Michigan.
