However, little is known about the dietary mechanisms that actually drive NCDs, and the tools used to collect dietary information are still inaccurate. There is also a lack of data among vulnerable groups, where NCDs are often over-represented. The EU-funded CoDiet project will address the knowledge gaps and develop a tool that will assess diet-induced NCD risk. Specifically, <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>it will develop an enhanced method of dietary assessment using AI technologies. <\/li><li>It will also develop a diet\u2013NCD monitoring tool that will enable change in NCDs in response to diet to be monitored at the population level. <\/li><li>The overall goal is to promote the uptake of an NCD-protective diet at a population level.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information, visit the project page <a href=\"https:\/\/www.codiet.eu\/\">here<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><!-- <img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-159 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/rtds.aueb.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/bestcanvas-2.png\" alt=\"bestcanvas\" width=\"320\" height=\"240\" \/> --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Real Time Distributed Systems Group is lead by Prof. Vana Kalogeraki.
