Method and apparatus for formulating individualised doses of nutrition

摘要

A nutrient dosage formulation system is disclosed. The nutrient dosage formulation system comprises: (a) a nutrition table maintained in computer memory, where the nutrition table comprises a plurality of rows representing respective nutrition components, and the rows include a plurality of codified dose values corresponding to respective health conditions; (b) a customer profile table maintained in computer memory, where the customer profile table comprises one or more rows representing respective customers, and the rows include a plurality of health condition values each representing one of two Boolean logic states corresponding to the respective health conditions; (c) an overall dose calculator configured to retrieve selected codified dose values from at least one row of the nutrition table based on the health condition values of a row of the customer profile table and to calculate an overall codified dose value from the retrieved codified dose values; and (d) an individualised dose calculator configured to calculate a dosage formulation of one of the nutrition components for a customer based at least partly on the overall codified dose rate.
