health, yet what we know and understand about it is still limited.
Importantly, most methods that we use nowadays to study how humans eat
are indirect and rely on self-report. <br><br>We want to bring together a
group of creative scientists and hackers to catalyze the development of
new ideas and disruptive solutions that can shape the future of the
collection and application of quantified human eating behavior data.<br><br>Hacking
Eating Tracking will have an unusual format that can be defined as an
hybrid between a scientific symposium and a hackathon. Saturday and
Sunday morning there will be three discussion panels covering science,
technology and applications. The hackathon will run in parallel with
these panels. Sunday afternoon there will be a final pitch and demos of
hackathon teams and prizes. Aside from the program agenda there will be
also be a number of opportunities to socialize and exchange ideas.<br><br>We
welcome participants from a variety of disciplines: science,
technology, arts and business, in particular active individuals who are
passionate about this topic and are willing to spend a weekend
generating ideas, connections, discussions and hackathon innovations.
