## Abstract

This invention relates to the automatic identification and measurement of the consumption of an item or items and reporting of consumption of primarily, but not limited to, foodstuffs and provisions, that are typically stored in refrigerators, pantries, cupboards, apparatus and display shelves, store cases, shopping carts and baskets and the like. The invention therefore allows humans to accurately and automatically track their nutritional input, inventory transferal and in-store purchases in real-time. The invention relates to low-cost, printable electronics with integrated micro-electromechanical (MEMS) and/or Nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS), wireless inductive power and wireless communication, and targets a low-cost solution applicable to consumer applications.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A composition comprising integrated sensing modalities comprising printed electronics, MEMS/NEMS sensor modalities, wireless power and communication, software interfaces to domain-specific applications, verbal interaction with technology platforms to automatically identify, measure and report on consumption and/or transfer of foodstuffs, provisions and the like.
