The Sussex Ingestion Pattern Monitor (SIPM)

SIPM offers universities, the food industry, pharmaceutical industry and hospitals an exciting opportunity to research the fundamental nature of human eating both in normal and clinical populations. Data collected using SIPM may allow the user novel insights into human eating that could lead to new approaches to the treatment of problem eating.
