Schematic of a method for personalized model-based feedback control of body weight. Using individual anthropometric and demographic data, a personalized mathematical model of metabolism is created to plan a lifestyle intervention to achieve a goal body weight in a specified time frame. By monitoring body weight and physical activity repeatedly, adherence to the intervention can be calculated and used iteratively to provide quantitative feedback regarding revised body weight predictions or changes in the prescribed intervention required to achieve the body weight goal.
