FruitPAL 2.0: A Smart Healthcare Framework for Automatic Monitoring of Fruit Consumption

Consuming a wide variety of fruits can provide a multitude of health benefits. Fruits provide healthy nutrition, including vitamins and dietary fiber, that contribute to the promotion of human health. Consuming a diverse range of fruits, including all sorts and hues, is essential for providing the body with a comprehensive array of essential nutrients [1]. Having fruit every day could provide numerous advantages to the human body such as losing weight, providing vitamins, and reducing the risk of diseases. This paper proposes a real-time device that can monitor the level of intake of fruits, which is called FruitPAL 2.0. FruitPAL 2.0 issues a daily report on fruit consumption, which includes detailed information on the many benefits associated with each type of fruit that is consumed. YOLOv5, the most popular iteration of the YOLO family, has been used as the core of FruitPAL 2.0. The main objective of the proposed device is to increase the regular consumption of fruits.
