headline: Artificial Intelligence in Nutrition and Dietetics: A Comprehensive Review of Current Research
dek: Background/Objectives: Artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a transformative force in healthcare, with nutrition and dietetics becoming key areas of application. AI technologies are being employed to enhance dietary assessment, personalize nutrition plans, manage chronic diseases, deliver virtual coaching, and support public health nutrition. This review aims to critically synthesize the current literature on AI applications in nutrition, identify research gaps, and outline directions for future developme…
gain_title: AI-driven systems improve dietary tracking accuracy and enable personalized diet recommendations and disease-specific nutrition management in clinical and public health practice.
problem_title: AI applications in nutrition face persistent challenges with model transparency, ethical use of health data, and limited generalizability, particularly underrepresentation of low-resource settings.
trace_subject: AI applications for dietary assessment and personalized nutrition management
gain_reading: AI-driven systems improve dietary tracking accuracy and enable personalized diet recommendations and disease-specific nutrition management in clinical and public health practice.
gain_evidence: AI-driven systems show strong potential for improving dietary tracking accuracy, generating personalized diet recommendations, and supporting disease-specific nutrition management | AI technologies are being employed to enhance dietary assessment, personalize nutrition plans, manage chronic diseases, deliver virtual coaching, and support public health nutrition
problem_reading: AI applications in nutrition face persistent challenges with model transparency, ethical use of health data, and limited generalizability, particularly underrepresentation of low-resource settings.
problem_evidence: challenges remain regarding model transparency, ethical use of health data, limited generalizability across diverse populations, and underrepresentation of low-resource settings
quick_read: A systematic review published October 14, 2025 synthesized peer-reviewed literature from January 2020 to July 2025 on AI in nutrition and dietetics, covering dietary assessment, personalized nutrition and chronic disease management, generative AI and conversational agents, public health nutrition, sensory science, and ethics.

The findings matter because improved dietary tracking and personalized recommendations could directly affect chronic disease care and public health nutrition, but the review flags that transparency, data ethics, and poor representation of diverse and low-resource populations leave safety and equity unresolved for real-world deployment.
limitation: Findings are constrained by limited generalizability across diverse populations and underrepresentation of low-resource settings, plus unresolved issues of model transparency and ethical use of health data.
tag: Automated dual reading
key_points: Systematic search covered PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar for peer-reviewed publications from January 2020 to July 2025. | Thematic analysis grouped findings into six categories including dietary assessment, personalized nutrition and chronic disease management, and generative AI and conversational agents. | Chatbots and large language models are increasingly used for nutrition education and support alongside virtual coaching tools.
rundown: The review screened peer-reviewed studies from January 2020 to July 2025 across four databases using predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria, organizing results into dietary assessment, personalized nutrition and chronic disease management, generative AI and conversational agents, global/public health nutrition, sensory science and food innovation, and ethical and professional considerations.

Results highlight use of chatbots and LLMs for education and support, while conclusions call for responsible development, ethical oversight, and inclusive validation to ensure equitable and safe integration into clinical and public health practice.
