1. Introduction
The aim of this project is to develop a Python-based Body Mass Index (BMI) calculator that
computes an individual’s BMI and classifies it into categories such as underweight,
overweight, or obesity. Additionally, the project integrates machine learning to predict potential
health risks based on the BMI and other user inputs like age, gender, and activity level.
The goal is to create a user-friendly tool that combines basic health metrics with AI to provide
personalized health insights and recommendations.

 3. Problem Definition
3.1 List important local issues faced by your school or community

Some of the important local issues faced by your school or community:

Obesity and Poor Diet: Many students have unhealthy eating habits, lack access to nutritious
meals at school, and are unaware of healthy eating practices.
10
 Lack of Physical Activity: Limited exercise opportunities at school and reliance on cars instead
of walking or cycling contribute to a sedentary lifestyle.
Mental Health Issues: High academic stress and a lack of mental health resources can
negatively impact students' well-being.
Food Insecurity: Some students face challenges accessing enough nutritious food, especially
in low-income families.
Limited Health Education: Schools may not provide enough information on healthy living,
including proper diet and exercise.
Environmental Factors: Pollution and lack of green spaces can restrict outdoor physical
activity and affect health.
Economic Barriers: Families may struggle to afford healthy food or healthcare, limiting students'
access to necessary resources.
Community Support: There may be a lack of community programs or family involvement in
promoting health and wellness.
Nutritional Knowledge Gaps: Students and families may not understand the specific dietary
needs for different BMI categories.

3.2 Which issues matter to you and why?

The following issues related to BMI Calculator are particularly important to me:
1. Obesity and Poor Diet: This affects health, leading to diseases like diabetes and heart disease.
Healthy eating is key to physical growth and academic performance.
2. Mental Health Issues: Stress and lack of mental health support can harm students' well-being and
academic success. Mental health care is essential for overall health.
3. Lack of Physical Activity: Sedentary lifestyles increase health risks. Physical activity is vital for
fitness and mental health.
4. Food Insecurity: Limited access to healthy food can affect students' concentration and long-term
health, making it crucial to ensure all students have access to proper nutrition.
5. Health Education: Teaching students about nutrition, exercise, and mental health helps them make
healthier choices and avoid preventable health issues.

6. These issues are important because they directly impact individuals' health, well-being, and future

11
 3.3 Which issue will you focus on?

We would focus on Obesity and Poor Diet. Focusing on this issue can have a broad impact by::
 Educating students about balanced diets and healthy eating habits.
 Encouraging schools to offer healthier meal options.
 Raising awareness about the importance of physical activity and nutrition in maintaining a
healthy lifestyle.
Addressing obesity and poor diet can improve both physical and mental health outcomes for students
and promote better learning and overall well-being.

3.4 Write your team’s problem statement in the format below.

We developed an intelligent BMI calculator that goes beyond basic computation by incorporating AI-
driven analytics, personalized health tips, and educational insights. It will account for individual factors
such as age, gender, and activity levels, providing a more user-centric approach. The goal is to create
an engaging tool that promotes healthier habits and better understanding of BMI limitations.

 4.The Users
4.1 Who are the users and how are they affected by the problem?

The users are students in the community. They are affected by the problem of obesity, poor diet, and
lack of physical activity in the following ways:
1. Health Risks: Students who do not have healthy eating habits or engage in physical activity are at
higher risk for obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and other health issues.
2. Academic Impact: Poor nutrition and lack of exercise can affect their concentration, energy
levels, and overall cognitive function, leading to lower academic performance.
3. Mental Health: Unhealthy habits can contribute to stress, anxiety, and low self-esteem, which
affect students' emotional well-being.
4. Long-Term Effects: If these behaviors are not addressed early, they can lead to lifelong
health challenges and poor quality of life.
By focusing on improving their diet and increasing physical activity, we can help students develop healthier
habits that have both immediate and long-term benefits for their health, well-being, and academic success.

4.2 What have you actually observed about the users and how the problem affects
them?

Students often have poor eating habits, relying on fast food and sugary snacks, which leads to low
energy and difficulty concentrating. Many also have limited physical activity, spending too much time on
screens, which contributes to obesity and low self-esteem. These factors negatively impact their
academic performance and mental health, causing stress and anxiety. The overall lack of balanced
nutrition and exercise affects both their short-term well-being and long-term health.

4.3 Record your interview questions here as well as responses from users.
Interview Questions:
1. What do you usually eat for breakfast, lunch, and dinner?
2. How often do you engage in physical activity, like exercise or sports?
3. Do you feel like your eating habits affect how you feel during the day?
User Responses:
1. For breakfast, I usually have cereal or sometimes just a snack like a granola bar. For lunch, I
mostly have fast food or sandwiches, and for dinner, my family often eats takeout like pizza or
pasta.
2. I don’t really have a routine. Sometimes I play basketball after school with friends, but mostly I
just sit at home and play video games or watch TV.
3. Yeah, sometimes after lunch, I feel really tired and can’t focus in class. I don’t feel very
energized after eating fast food or sugary snacks.

 4.5 What are the usual steps that users currently take related to the problem and
where are the difficulties?

Difficulties:
1. Unhealthy Food Options: Limited access to healthy meals at school and convenience in fast
food options make it hard to adopt better eating habits.
2.Lack of Motivation: Many students don't feel motivated to exercise regularly, often due to a
lack of fun or engaging physical activities.
3.Time Constraints: Busy school schedules and extracurricular activities leave little time
for preparing healthy meals or prioritizing physical activity.
4.Peer Influence: Social pressures and trends may encourage unhealthy eating or sedentary
habits. These factors make it difficult for students to make lasting changes to their diet and
lifestyle.

4.6 Write your team’s problem statement in the format below.

Individuals seeking to maintain a healthy lifestyle are experiencing issues with receiving
personalized nutrition and exercise recommendations today because of the lack of accessible
tools that provide tailored suggestions based on specific health metrics like BMI, diet preference,
and daily routine.

1. Input Health Data: Users will provide basic information such as their weight, eight,
fitness goals (e.g., weight loss, muscle gain), dietary preferences, and any
restrictions (e.g., vegetarian, gluten-free).

2. Receive Personalized Recommendations: Based on the input data, the AI will generate
customized meal plans and exercise routines tailored to the user’s specific goals,
preferences, and health status.

3. Track Progress: Users can log their meals, workouts, and other relevant health data (e.g.,
daily steps, sleep) through the platform. The system will analyze this data to track
progress and adjust recommendations accordingly.

4. Receive Real-time Feedback: AI will provide real-time feedback on the user’s

adherence to the plan, offering encouragement or adjustments (e.g., modify meal choices
or suggest more challenging exercises).

5. Make Adjustments Based on Feedback: Users can modify their inputs (e.g., update their
goals or preferences) and the system will adjust recommendations, ensuring continuous
adaptation and personalized guidance.

To build the solution, I would use Scikit-learn for machine learning tasks like BMI
classification, TensorFlow/Keras for deep learning-based recommendations, and
Surprise or LightFM for personalized meal and routine suggestions. OpenAI GPT
would handle natural language interactions, while Pandas would manage data
preprocessing. These tools combined would enable effective prediction and
personalization.
8.3 What decisions or outputs will your tool generate and what further action needs to
be taken after a decision is made?

The AI tool will calculate the user's BMI, categorize it, and generate personalized meal plans
and daily routines based on the BMI category and dietary preference. After the decision is
made, the user can review and adjust the plans, track their progress, and update their
information as needed. Periodic updates to weight or height will allow the tool to provide new
recommendations, ensuring that the user's health and lifestyle choices remain aligned with
their goals.

BMI and receive lifestyle suggestions based on it.

6 Feedback from these users helped refine the AI's functionality and user experience.

9.2 List your observations of your users as they tested your solution.

During user testing, it was observed that users found the input process simple, though some
needed clarification on data entry and dietary options. They understood their BMI categories,
but some wanted more detailed health context. Users appreciated the personalized meal
plans and routines but requested more customization, especially for specific health goals or
conditions. Engagement was generally high, though some struggled to incorporate all
aspects of the plan due to time constraints. Minor technical issues like data entry errors and
navigation challenges were noted. Users found the tool motivating but suggested adding
reminders and progress tracking features.
