ALIMES-PERSONALIZED EATING FOR HEALTHY AGING
ALIMES-PERSONALIZED EATING FOR HEALTHY AGING
Programme: Misiones Científicas de Asturias
Objective: The main objectives of this mission, organized in four axes, are:
AXIS 1. ASTURIAN SENIOR MICROBIOME
-Characterize the intestinal microbiome and generate a reference database.
- Develop sequencing technologies and methodologies
- Identify relationships between imbalances in the intestinal microbiota and pathologies / changes associated with aging.
- Select health targets that can be influenced by nutritional interventions to modulate the microbiota.
AXIS 2. TECHNOLOGIES
-Develop artificial intelligence algorithms that allow the treatment and exploitation of intestinal microbiome data.
-Design new kits that improve the sample collection process
-Design portable measurement devices
-Design and manufacture a 3D printer for the production of functional foods.
AXIS 3. FOOD FORMULATIONS
- Design strategies for nutritional interventions.
- Define and develop functional probiotic / prebiotic solutions with an impact on the identified biomarkers.
- Develop new foods to cover nutritional deficits and sensory requirements of the elderly.
AXIS 4. RELATIONSHIP WITH THE USER
- Develop a global platform for health monitoring and interaction with the elderly.
- Develop mechanisms and protocols to evaluate the impact of nutritional interventions on the well-being of the elderly.
- Define new business models associated with personalized food and active aging.
- Address the ethical, legal implications
