Absztrakt: Nowadays, there are numerous types of diets that aim to improve the quality of life, health and longevity of people. However, these diets typically involve a strictly planned regime, which can be hard to get used to or even to follow through at all, due to the sudden nature of the change. In this paper, the framework for an Intelligent Space application is proposed that helps its users to achieve a healthier diet in the long term by introducing small, gradual changes into their consumption habits. The application observes the daily nutrition intake of its users, applies data mining in order to learn their personal tastes, and educates them about the effects of their current diet on their health. Then it analyzes the knowledge base to find different food or drink items that align with the perceived preferences, while also add to the balance of the daily nutrition of the users considering their physical properties, activities, and health conditions (e.g. diabetes, celiac disease, food allergies, etc). Finally, the system uses the findings to make suggestions about adding items from the consumption list, or change one item to another.
