A Content-aware Fridge based on RFID in smart home for home-healthcare

With the ever increasing popularity of Radio Frequency Identification, it is easier for us to lead a more convenient and healthier life. In this paper we present a Content-aware Fridge based on RFID to provide several content-aware services to adjust our Eating habits. Especially, for patients, the system is able to inform them to take certain food which is good for their health and print a shopping list intelligently when the stock of fridge is in short. With the food ontology, we analyze the nutrients between the different types of food. And make recommendations on recipe so as to ensure that each of the family members will receive a well-balanced diet.
