Method for tracking consumption of supplements by a user

A method for guiding consumption of supplements by a user comprising:

• receiving an image of a supplement package, of a particular packaging format, containing a supplement;
• detecting a set of features in the image;
• identifying the supplement based on the set of features;
• retrieving the supplement profile in response to identifying the supplement;
• presenting the supplement profile to the user;
• receiving confirmation of the supplement profile from the user;
• loading a supplement profile of the supplement into a user account;
• receiving an identifier broadcast wirelessly by a tracker coupled to the supplement package;
• linking the identifier to the supplement profile in the user account based on temporal proximity of receipt of the image and receipt of the identifier from the tracker;
• associating a regimen with the supplement profile in the user account, the regimen specifying a time window for consumption of a dose of the supplement from the supplement package;
• and
• at a mobile computing device, in response to receiving a wireless advertisement from the tracker during the time window, generating a prompt to consume a dose of the supplement on a display of the mobile computing device.

A method for guiding consumption of supplements by a user, the method comprising:

• receiving a selection of a supplement contained in a supplement package of a particular packaging format;
• loading a supplement profile of the supplement into a user account;
• receiving an identifier broadcast wirelessly by a tracker coupled to the supplement package;
• linking the identifier to the supplement profile in the user account;
• associating a regimen with the supplement profile in the user account, the regimen specifying a time window for consumption of a dose of the supplement from the supplement package;
• at a mobile computing device, in response to receiving a wireless advertisement from the tracker during the time window, generating a prompt to consume a dose of the supplement on a display of the mobile computing device;
• retrieving a motion model, from a set of motion models, for characterizing consumption events at the particular packaging format;
• characterizing motion of the supplement package during the time window as a consumption event at the supplement package based on the motion model;
• and
• recording a time of the consumption event.

A method for tracking consumption of supplements by a user comprising:

• receiving a selection of a supplement contained in a supplement package of a particular packaging format;
• loading a supplement profile of the supplement into a user profile;
• retrieving a motion model, from a set of motion models, for characterizing consumption events at the particular packaging format;
• and
• based on connectivity between a tracker coupled to the supplement package and a mobile computing device during a first time period:
• characterizing motion of the supplement package as a consumption event at the supplement package based on the motion model;
• and
• recording a time of the consumption event.

method of claim 14:

• further comprising:
• rendering an instruction for placement of a tracker on the supplement package based on the packaging format;
• and
• uploading the motion model to the tracker;
• and
• wherein characterizing motion of the supplement package as the consumption event comprises:
• characterizing motion of the tracker as the consumption event at the supplement package based on the motion model and motion of the tracker;
• and
• confirming the consumption event based on wireless connectivity between the tracker and the mobile computing device.

method of claim 14, further comprising:

• receiving a second selection of a second supplement contained in a second supplement package of a second packaging format;
• loading a second supplement profile of the second supplement into the user profile;
• retrieving a second motion model, from the set of motion models, for characterizing consumption events at the second packaging format;
• based on connectivity between a second tracker coupled to the second supplement package and the mobile computing device:
• characterizing motion of the second supplement package as a second consumption event at the second supplement package based on the second motion model;
• and
• recording a second time of the second consumption event;
• and
• recording the consumption event and the second consumption event in the user profile.
