Chapter 1 INTRODUCTION
Introduction
In this chapter we will learn about the objective of our major project and the environment
used to develop our project. Here the basic frame of the project will be discussed.

As, we all our aware of the fact that our country is going under a serious pandemic and
in this situation, we are constantly being told by our administration and health workers
to have a strong immunity and be healthy. In this hour of need when all of the platforms
are going online everyone has started to work upon their health and fitness. They need
to track the constant activity of their meals and exercises so some free and accurate
fitness calculators should be provided to our people so that they can track down their
meals and activities and move a step closer towards their fitness. The calorie tracker must
be able to tell the user about every macro nutrient (e.g., proteins, carbohydrates, fats,
fibre, etc.) in their meal and then let the user decide that whether it’s healthy or not

There also occurs a main feature function nowadays “Chatbot”, many here ask the
question that what is a chatbot and what are its various functionalities, we can say that
a chatbot is a robotic version of human helper as when we go in a shop there our various
workers helping us in getting our desired stuff similarly, in a computer application a
chatbot is the one who helps you in running the application, talks about the variety of
features and guides you anywhere you’re stuck. A chatbot is created to reduce the
wastage of human energy in some basic and common queries which a lot of people have,
e.g., in a shopping application query related to delivery and return etc.

The Fitness Tracker tracks your all-daily activities and meals which shows us that how
much calories we have taken and exhausted in a day. The calorie measures should be
correct and precise in order to be a better substitute than other applications in the
market. We tend to incorporate our fitness tracker with functionalities like sleep, water
intake, stress and heartbeat measures.

So, in this project we have tried to give our most so that this can be make possible and
everyone should be able to track down their daily intake amount and quality of meals
and the calories burned during a day. We have used various data cleaning and refining
processes for our data according to our needs. Python pandas, NumPy, SciPy and other
libraries are used to create the data frames and to improve the accuracy of the data set.
Python FuzzyWuzzy library is used to improve the search results and to store the desired
result. We have used python module Keras [6] and TensorFlow [7] for testing and training
our chatbot and nltk [5] for making it more realistic. PythonSQL is used to manage our
database and [Link], [Link] and Django are used to design, style and run the application
over the server.

1.2 Objective of Health and WellnessTracker


Health and WellnessTracker is a utility used to calculate energy and tells the quantity of
carbs, proteins, fibres and fat in their meals and it also tells us the number of calories
burned. It facilitates the customers to track down their food and to discover what they're
ingesting and what kind of food they're ingesting, i.e., it offers the excellent and exact
amount evaluation of our food. It tells about the daily eating habits of an individual and
guides them toward a healthful lifestyle. This accurately describes the number of calories
one burns during a workout. This application is able to make the quantity analysis and to
check the grade of the food items in our meal. And by the addition of chatbot it makes
people more attracted towards this and they find it easier and more useful than the other
application which have paid subscriptions.

The knowledge of workouts and diet plans are only limited to the gym trainers, dieticians
and professional athletes and coaches but not to the public so here we decided to share
this knowledge to everyone whether they are professional or not. This is a field where
nowadays most of the youth and as well as elders are also attracted to move towards a
healthy lifestyle. By this application everyone will be able to get to know about the
distribution of the macro nutrients and the muscle tear down and recovery process to
prevent any injury and bad eating habits.

1.3 Motivation of Health and WellnessTracker


There are already many prebuilt health calculators in the market and they are achieving
a great success but many of them have inaccurate results and the one’s having accurate
results and other premium functionalities have paid subscriptions. We want to provide
our users with a free health calculator with all the latest functionalities which give
accurate results and is easy to access so that everyone can have proper training and diet
plans, and be fit and healthy without paying unnecessarily for subscriptions to the other
applications. Also, everyone should be focused on their health so that we can move
towards a healthy India which will make our county grow in every sector as it says a
healthy country is a developed country.

This project is completed with full devotion so that in this distress situation of COVID 19
everyone should take care of their health and be able to seek the correct food items in
their diet plan which will help them build immunity and make their body able to fight
with this disease. Many families have been ruined by this disease so we tried to
contribute a little for us all to keep a track of our daily habits and to figure out the faults
in our daily diet and workout plans. This situation made us more motivated towards our
goal to provide everyone with this project as soon as possible. We wish that our project
may help everyone who desires to use such an application and provide them with good
knowledge about the food items we should consume and the workouts we can plan for
being strong and healthy enough in this distress situation.

1.4 Language Used


Many languages had been used in the designing of this project undertaking beneath the python
work environment.

Figure 1-1 Python

Python work environment: It is a virtual environment used to create python projects by


providing them with an isolated unique space for working.
Python: It is a HLL (High Level Language) used for object-oriented programming. It is one
of the vastest languages aside from JAVA and have feature extraordinarily libraries and
modules which makes its code simple and clean to be comprehensible even by a layman
[1].

Rest of the languages used on this undertaking are:

i. PythonSQL (Structured Query Language): SQL language for working our data set;
ii. JSON: Retrieving data for the chatbot [9];
iii. Hypertext Markup Language (HTML): Used for frontend designing; iv. Cascading Style Sheets
(CSS): Used for styling the frontend;
v. Django web framework: Helps in strolling the network application;
vi. Bootstrap: It creates the web user interface.

1.5 Technical Requirements


To run this project, one should have a machine specification of:

i. Python latest version – PyCharm 1.19 -> PyCharm 2.31


ii. Django latest modules – Django-Filters
iii. PC of RAM – 6GB
iv. Window PowerShell ISE

Whereas, there is no need of the technical hardware requirements as it is a software-based


project.

1.6 Deliverables of Health and WellnessTracker


The project delivers an application using a web interface to reflect its output. It tells us
about our daily calorie limit, total calories consumed and calories left. Search bar for
searching different items and the total number of items consumed in a day. It also
depicts the number of calories burned by performing some specific workouts so that the
user can track both the calorie intake and calories exhausted during a day which helps in
the calculation of weight loss or gain.
Figure 1-2 Health tracker display

Chapter 2 HEALTH AND WELLNESSTRACKER SDLC


2.1 Feasibility Study on Health and Wellness Tracker
There has not been just an idea of the project but some researches have also been done
to assess the success rate of this project. First of all, a basic assessment was taken to
understand the need of this project with respect to stakeholders. As, there are other
advanced calculators present too, so we need to know where does our prototype stands
among them. But this project has the potential to grow more than them in a short span
of time as we have already known on which points to focus and what improvements
they need. The main objective is to provide those upgraded functionalities to the user
without paying for the huge subscriptions.

The market for this kind of product is going quite vast just because everyone is moving
towards healthy lifestyles and for that they need such applications which doesn’t cost
them much and provide with the accurate facts and results.

2.2 Requirements on Health and Wellness Tracker


2.2.1 Functional Requirements:
Here we use PyCharm community to run and edit our project requirements. Many python
libraries and modules are combined to provide a solid backend. The functions and classes
are simple to read and understand to work upon, moreover python provides us with very
easy functionalities for object-oriented programming (where we can convert our raw code
to implement real world models) for creating real-time working model [1].
The frontend is provided by html, CSS and Django written inside the PyCharm
community itself and thus, helping all the code to be written and debugged under a
single platform and not perplexing the user. Html provides with the designing of our
web application whereas CSS helps in styling our application and at last Django provides
with the run-server for the application [2].

Dataset is stored in the form of SQLlite3 and is provided with very vast items or in simple
words is a very large data set to work upon. Data cleaning and modifying is done to
remove out all the invalid data in order to increase the accuracy of the results.

The backend has been handled by various python modules such as NumPy, nltk, pandas,
etc. for creating a strong base of the project which we are deploying.

2.2.2 Non-Functional Requirements:


When we come to see where we can run our project, then it appears to be more
satisfying that no specific paid hardware and software requirements are required and the
project can simply run on your personal computers, tablets and laptops without any fuss.
we just need to have a PyCharm software and any windows above 7, no additional
system requirements are necessary.

Our project can be linked with the hardware such as smart watches and smart bands to
track the activity of our project but this is beyond the scope of this current project.

2.3 Use Case Diagram of Health and Wellness Tracker


Use cases are used to depict the application in the form of diagrams to be able to
understand the working of project very easily and effectively.

formed ▪ Searching happens now in the refined data set.
▪ Then comes the test data extraction and traversing.
▪ The next step is to train the model which is fulfilled easily by the Django
framework.
▪ Then queries are updated and data is manipulated ▪ And at last, the result
is shown.

2.4 DFD Diagram of Health and Wellness Tracker


DFD (Data Flow Diagrams) are used to depict the flow of the data in a given project i.e., to
check how the data will be handled under the project and what the flaws should be.

In the figure given below we learn that:

i. We have two login interfaces one for the user and other for the admin.
ii. And there is another option for users to create new accounts
iii. The password checking process takes place and then the next panel is opened if
password is correct and if incorrect, they are reverted back to the login page to try
again.
iv. After that admin and user functionalities are shown in which they can edit their
database, operate the chatbot, calculate calories and perform other functions.
v. After that result is shown on the screen and then we can log out.

dieticians as well as by small children above 12 years of age.
• Custom tables and specific unit conversions are used to get through new portions.
• It is able to track the nutritional value of food given to patients.

3.5 The Caloric Calculator


Author: Y. Claire Wang, Amber Hasiao, C. Tracy Orleans, Steven L. Gortmaker

Publication: American Journal of Preventive Medicine


About:

• Obesity in small children is increasing more often as their calorie intake is more
as compared to their calorie expenditure. Also, the quality of calories they
intake is not balanced as they take more fats, carbohydrates and focus less on
the other nutritional components of food. Binge eating is also a major problem
among youngsters that should be treated well and before an outburst of obese
epidemic.

• In this report the authors are quite determined in finding an Average Caloric
Impact (ACI), which would serve as a common parameter to map out the
calories needs and intake among youngsters.
• The literature was reviewed from 1996 to 2012 and various parameters were
found out about the young health such as their diets, energy expenditure,
activity levels and weight.

• The ACIs were calculated based on the intensity, frequency duration and
average body weight of a group of a particular age and gender from the 2009-
2010 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey.
• The Caloric Calculator was later on invented to be able to estimate the ACIs of
specific target groups by taking care of the energy gap reductions required to
reach the Healthy Populations childhood obesity.
• The Caloric Calculator was successful as it used the most common metric unit
ACI and it emerged as a guiding pathway for the modernized calculators.
Chapter 4 IMPLEMENTATION OF THE MINOR PROJECT
4.1 Data Set Used in the Health and Wellness Tracker
• Data Set used in this project is taken from the World Food Programme (WFP), it
is a vast dataset of nutrition composition of various food items. This dataset
initially comprised of many nutrition components which can be merged with
major nutrients like carbohydrates, proteins, sugars, fats and fibres for calories
calculation. No doubt all nutrient components are responsible to provide a
healthy lifestyle but when it comes to burn and count the calories, then only
some of these major nutrient components are required.
• We also converted most of this information in the JSON format for the use of
our chatbot.
• Dataset used for exercises have been taken from the Manitoba government
physical health education and it comprises of 650 of total exercises. This data is
refined and cleaned by using various python tools and packages for being able
to be used by us for our calorie burned tracker.

Figure 4-2 Database in CSV format (2)

Figure 4-3 Exercise dataset in csv format

4.1.1 Data Cleaning

i. Removing Useless Irrelevant Data: This is the first approach of moving towards
a refined data set. The removal of irrelevant values such as other minor nutrient
components (like chlorine, phosphorous, potassium, etc.) which are not required
in counting calories. And the removal of joints, modality which were not
necessary in the scope of this current project were removed.

ii. Removing Duplicating Values: The duplicating values in our dataset has been
removed by using pandas [3] module drop duplicates () and other functionalities.
The result is a more refined dataset.
iii. Avoiding Typos and Converting Data Types: These can be cleared using various
algorithms and functionalities. Uniformity in the data types is on focus here and
to do the same data types should remain same and specific data types shouldn’t
be changed.

iv. Editing Missing Values: All the missing values are changed and converted here.
It has been done manually and by removing null values using various
functionalities and many other algorithms. Also, the calorie burned were also
precisely added in the file which has been checked from the JEFIT android
application database.

4.3 Design of the problem statement


The idea is to create a fully develop application to calculate calories eaten and burned
with a built-in chatbot but for now a highly functional prototype is ready to be deployed.
The main focus is to check the speed and accuracy of the calculator and the chatbot. It is
created in such a way that we can keep a track of our every meal and also calculate the
number of calories burned in a day and to find the details of our every meal using the
chatbot. It is designed in such a way that it should be capable of adjusting and training
itself to the likes of our user.

4.4.2 Pseudo Code:


▪ The user/ admin will login or sign in the application.
▪ Or they can create a new account.
▪ Passwords will be checked and then the application will be proceeded further.
▪ Then the user privileges and admin privileges can be provoked.
▪ The output will be shown.
▪ Then they can exit the application.
4.5 Flow Graph of the Health and Wellness Tracker

Figure 4-9 Flow graph of the project problem

▪ We enter the server created through the Django module of the python and then we
use that to create and run our application on the server provided by the Django [2].
▪ The user log themselves in or create a new account and then they use the
applications functionalities independently and based on what they can access.
▪ In the end the results are displayed on the output screen and then user exits the
application, at this point he can either use the application again or can exit the
application server.

4.6 About Chatbot


A chatbot is an application used to conduct a communication with a client via an online
platform in order to provide him with the help he seeks and sort out the other
functionalities for him similarly to a live human agent.
The idea to deploy chatbot into our application came up with the modernization of the
society and the increase in new technologies in the market. So, to keep our project in
competition with the other projects we have to deploy such technologies in our project.
We have kept in mind the compatibility of our project in with upcoming technologies so
that our project doesn’t fade away. With the help of chatbot now it is simpler and easier
to find out the flaws and suggestions for our applications.

Figure 4-10 Chatbot hello

4.6.1 Libraries used in our chatbot


1. NLTK: It is called Natural Language toolkit, it us used to process Natural language
and give us the desired output. It helps in preprocessing the natural language
data into useful terms for the chatbot.

2. Keras: It evaluated our model and helped in developing the training and testing
models of our project using tensor flow applications.
3. Pickle: The pickle library in python is used to convert the python object into
stream of bytes and store it in file. It is used for storing the multiple python
objects.
4. NumPy: It is a python library which is used to perform operation on various
entities like n- dimensional arrays and matrices. It is used to perform multiple
numerical and other tests over our models.
5. JSON: JSON library in python is used to connect are code to JSON file which helps
fetch, manipulate data from the file. In JSON format we have converted our data
so that the chatbot can convert the data more accurately and quickly. It is easy to
locate data while it is in the JSON format instead of looking into a key and then
retrieving data from there.
6. Tkinter: Tkinter is a GUI for python projects. It is used to create a dialog box for
chatbot that display the conversation between user and the chatbot.

4.6.2 Working of the chatbot


1. To open chatbot firstly click on the green chatbot button this is below search
button.
2. Now separate Tkinter window appears that is split into two parts
a. Upper part of dialog box is used to display our message and how chatbot
responds to it.
b. The lower part is used by user to write his/her message along with send
