Monitoring food consumption using an ultrawide band system

Abstract

A system, a headset, or a method for determining a value of a food consumption parameter. The system includes a headset worn on a head of a user and a wearable device worn on a wrist or a hand of the user. The headset and the wearable device are communicatively coupled to each other via an ultrawideband communication channel. The system tracks the hand of the user relative to the head of the user based on the ultrawideband communication channel between the headset and the wearable device. The system also monitors movement of a jaw of the user using a contact microphone coupled to the headset, and determines a value of a food consumption parameter based in part on the tracked movement of the hand and the monitored movement of the jaw.
