ÖZET
 Sağlığın korunmasında ve sürdürülmesinde beslenmenin önemi her geçen gün daha iyi anlaşılmaktadır. Bireylere, kişiye özel yani kişiselleştirilmiş beslenme önerilerinin yapılması yaşam boyu sürdürülebilecek sağlıklı beslenme alışkanlıklarının kazandırılmasında büyük önem taşımaktadır. Teknolojik gelişmeler, kişiselleştirilmiş beslenmenin yapay zekâ aracılığıyla daha hızlı gelişmesini sağlamıştır. Sağlıklı beslenmenin ve besin tüketiminin saptanmasına yönelik hazırlanan yapay zekâ destekli uygulamalar ile kişisel giyilebilir cihaz kullanımı gün geçtikçe yaygınlaşmaktadır. Beslenme alanında geliştirilen yapay zekâ destekli uygulamalar; bireylere/hastalara kişiselleştirilmiş beslenme önerileri sunmak için gerekli verilerin toplanmasında, toplanan bu verilerinin analiz edilerek kişiye özel tedavi verilmesinde rol oynamaktadır. Ayrıca bu uygulamalar ve cihazlar tıbbi nesnelerin interneti ile birbirleriyle bilgileri paylaşmakta ve bireylerin/hastaların beslenme durumları ile ilgili daha somut veriler elde etmektedir. Tıbbi nesnelerin interneti sağlık uzmanlarının hastaları uzaktan takip edebilmelerine ve hastaların tedavilerini uzaktan yönetebilmelerine de yardımcı olmaktadır. Yapay zekâ uygulamaları ile elde edilen veriler beslenmenin kişiselleştirilmesine olanak sağlayarak, sağlıklı beslenme alışkanlığının kazandırılmasını ve bu davranışın sürdürülebilir hâle gelmesini kolaylaştırmaktadır. Ayrıca uzun vadede yapay zekâ uygulamaları ile hazırlanan kişiselleştirilmiş beslenmenin zaman ve maddi tasarruf sağlayarak, sağlık sisteminin yükünü azaltabileceği düşünülmektedir. Bu derlemede, sağlık verilerini izleyen cihazların, akıllı telefon uygulamalarının kişiselleştirilmiş beslenme uygulamalarında kullanımı, bireylere sağlıklı beslenme alışkanlıkları kazandırmadaki etkileri, gelişim aşamasındaki projeler ve yapay zekâ kullanımı için yapılması gerekenler tartışılmaktadır.

Anahtar Kelimeler: Kişiselleştirilmiş beslenme; nütrigenomikler; yapay zekâ; beslenme durumu
ABSTRACT
 The importance of nutrition in the protection and maintenance of health is better understood day by day. Making personalized nutrition recommendations for individuals is essential in gaining healthy eating habits that can be sustained throughout life. Technological advances have helped personalized nutrition begin to develop faster through artificial intelligence. The use of personal wearable devices is becoming more common daily, with artificial intelligencesupported applications prepared for determining healthy nutrition and food consumption. Artificial intelligence-supported applications developed in the field of nutrition; plays a role in collecting the necessary data to provide personalized nutritional recommendations to individuals/patients and in providing personalized treatment by analyzing this collected data. In addition, these applications and devices share information through the internet of medical objects and obtain more concrete data about the nutritional status of individuals. The internet of medical things also helps healthcare professionals remotely monitor and manage patients' treatments. The data obtained with artificial intelligence applications allows the personalization of nutrition, making it easier to gain healthy eating habits and make this behavior sustainable. In addition, it is thought that personalized nutrition prepared with artificial intelligence applications in the long term can reduce the burden on the health system by saving time and money. In this review, the use of devices that monitor health data, smartphone applications in personalized nutrition applications, their effects on individuals gaining healthy eating habits, projects in the development stage, and what needs to be done to use artificial intelligence are discussed.

Keywords: Personalized nutrition; nutrigenomics; artificial intelligence; nutritional status
