Visualizing Wholeness in Personal Nutrition

For my Master's Thesis, I developed a personal nutrition monitoring concept for a mobile platform that supports understanding of overall nutrition health. I conducted research in the area of nutrition and average American comprehension of nutrition information. 

Conclusions that informed my design include the general lack of understanding of relevant nutrition data, an inappropriate focus on certain nutrients to the exclusion of all else, and the overall lack of awareness of nutrition interdependencies and how it affects health. My interface counteracts some of these problems by utilizing an emergent pattern-based display to track food groups, encouraging a more holistic conception of nutrition.
