E-Reminder: A Mindfulness-Based Interactive Eating Reminder Device to Improve Emotional Eating.

Obesity has become a health problem that plagues people worldwide, and emotional eating is a significant cause of obesity. It is essential to reduce the frequency of emotional eating. We innovatively put forward E-Reminder: an interactive mindfulness-based eating reminder system. Based on mindful eating, E-Reminder encourages users to reduce the frequency of emotional eating and establish normal eating behavior by reminding them to focus on their feelings and the characteristics of the food itself. E-Reminder includes a wearable mindfulness interactive device and a mobile application. The system can be used during eating to improve emotional eating problems and establish normal eating behavior. The results of user experiments show that E-Reminder can effectively improve users' emotional eating in the short term and implant weight loss ideas in them.
