nutidig

Nutidig is a term used in speculative fiction and some theoretical discussions of digital health to describe the integration of nutrition science with digital technology to monitor, analyze, and optimize food intake and metabolism. The word is a portmanteau of nutrition and digital.

The term is relatively new and does not have a single, established definition across disciplines. In its broad use, nutidig covers platforms, systems, and concepts that link dietary data with digital tools, including wearable sensors, mobile apps, AI-driven meal planning, nutrigenomics data, and cloud-based analytics.

In literary and conceptual contexts, nutidig often portrays networks or institutions that collect and utilize dietary data to influence behavior, allocate resources, or govern health at scale. Such depictions frequently raise ethical questions about privacy, consent, and who controls or profits from dietary information.
