The CSIRO has found a scientific way to help Aussies lose weight.

Australia’s government research organisation has launched a new artificial intelligence weight loss coach, Hope.

Hope predicts appropriate weight loss targets, tracks progress and provides feedback while using state-of-the-art machine learning to grow and expand its functionality over time.

CSIRO Total Wellbeing Dietitian Pennie McCoy told Chris Smith the tailor-made technology focuses on three key behaviours.

“It’s looking at how people track their food, how they’re following the menu plan and how regularly they weigh in.”
