What is Diet Quality Photo Navigation?
Diet Quality Photo Navigation (DQPN) is the image-based, pattern-recognition approach used by the Diet ID platform, It is a patent-pending, reverse-engineered approach to dietary assessment, predicated on the native human capacity for pattern recognition and requiring no detailed recall, and no logging of foods. Pattern recognition is an innate human aptitude, and it is based on repetition of experience. The process relies on both semantic and episodic long-term memory, which the brain taps into for known facts and personal experiences, respectively. Also known as visual recognition memory, this ability to quickly identify patterns requires little conscious effort; depends upon familiarity over recollection; is resistant to decay and reliable; and is meaningfully relatable to a person’s own experience.
