Mediterranean dietary style, guidelines of nutritional prescription for standard
type of person (vegan, with diabetis, and hypertension...) providing a unique
flexibility that can’t be found in other menu planners.

system, not only for patients of chronic diseases, or acute post-chirurgical

Such, Diet4you is a well example of a real system assisting into a health
aspect related to the new paradigm of personalized medicine and healthy
lifeStyles which combines in an integral way Artificial intelligence with statistics
in an intensive Data Science process embedded into an Intelligent Decision
