Abstract

Bangladesh has the highest rate of malnutrition around the world. More than 9.5 million children suffer from malnutrition and 50 to 60 percent of women in Bangladesh have BMI<18.5 kg/m2 [1]. Malnutrition in children, adolescents and women is a major concern. Furthermore, health expert human shows disinterest to provide healthcare solution in a remote location or in rural areas. For the purpose of solving this problem, we build an autonomous robot that interacts and communicates with humans which can questions and answers regarding healthcare queries intelligently, can recognize food and shows essential food nutrients separately and provide nutrition Plan, health report individually.
