WebDietAID is a Web-based system aimed at assisting individuals affected by high serum cholesterol. The system tries to reproduce the types of intervention performed by a nutritional counselor. It is structured as a set of advisors, each of which handles a different side of the counseling process. The tasks of the advisors range from monitoring weight, to teaching about healthy nutrition, to assessing motivation and psychological obstacles to behavior change. WebDietAID is based on a development environment for Web-based applications that includes a dynamical Web server, a knowledge base management system, and an interface to a relational database. We describe the architecture of the system, and several of the implemented advisors. Finally, we discuss how the architecture could be generalized to other counseling domains.
WebDietAID是一个基于网络的系统，旨在帮助受高血清胆固醇影响的个人。该系统试图重现营养顾问所进行的干预类型。它被构建为一组顾问，每个顾问处理咨询过程的不同方面。顾问的任务范围从监测体重到教授健康营养知识，再到评估行为改变的动机和心理障碍。WebDietAID基于一个用于基于网络应用程序的开发环境，该环境包括一个动态网络服务器、一个知识库管理系统以及与关系数据库的接口。我们描述了该系统的架构以及几个已实现的顾问。最后，我们讨论了该架构如何能够推广到其他咨询领域。
