  2. RelatedResearch There have been a lot of commercial apps on mobile phones for diet and fitness and literature on electronically-mediated weight management in academic journals.   The research about “Electronically-Mediated Weight Interventions for Pregnant & Postpartum Women” [1] led by Christine Olson, Jeff Niederdeppe, Geri Gay and several others is intended to develop an application to help young expecting mothers manage their weight. The women will receive periodic text messages and e-mail reminders to eat nutritious meals and exercise regularly to prevent gaining too much weight.   Google health allows the user to create a health profile online and allows them to enter information about their health conditions [2]. Every time the user adds new health data to their personal profile, Google Health will check for potential interactions between the drugs, allergies, and conditions. The users will receive alerts and e-mails of these results. Our system also has a web interface which allows the users to create their health profile by entering their health information and their personalized diet plan.  Our system relies on the technology to scan the bar code of a product to extract the nutritional information associated with it. This is similar to the Microsoft A.U.R.A., which is a bar code reader that uses the built in camera on most phones to take a  snapshot of the bar code and then decipher what it is [3].  We also researched about the existing diet management application in the market where the user can set goals and establish a daily calorie budget, stay on track each day by recording their food intake and exercise regimen and monitor their progress with detailed reports and metrics.
