NASA announced a competition for the best iPad-application for astronauts
Astronauts and astronauts daily face enormous difficulties in performing scientific experiments. One of the key aspects of the effectiveness of their work is understanding how microgravity affects their bodies and how to keep them healthy. An important role in the health of astronauts is diet. NASA's Food Biochemical Laboratory staff believe that a special iPad application will be useful and necessary for the members of the space team so that they can keep track of their diet. The mobile program will prompt astronauts if they consume enough calories while in space.
NASA announced a Food Intake Tracker (FIT) competition to develop such an application. The prize fund is 30 000 dollars. The task of the application is to identify users, track food intake and provide the best dietary recommendations, which in general will reduce the negative physiological effects of space flight.
