Configuration and customisation of smart environments for specific patients involve technical parameters and settings tailored to individual healthcare needs. In the _backend_, technical prowess is showcased in the development of a robust system for storing and managing medical data. Security technologies, including encryption and access control mechanisms, ensure data security, confidentiality, accuracy, and integrity. Data analysis and processing involve the application of machine learning and artificial intelligence algorithms for interpreting collected data. Efficient processing is achieved through optimized databases and cloud computing infrastructure. The _frontend_ emphasizes technical considerations, such as user-friendly design principles, ensuring accessibility and ease of use for both patients and physicians. Security measures are implemented through encryption protocols, ensuring the protection of personal data. Technical options for controlling information privacy are integrated, involving granular access controls and consent management. The notification and alert system is technically configured for efficient and rapid communication between users and the system. Access to functionalities involves secure application programming interfaces (APIs) for health status monitoring, updating medical history, and supporting personalized medical decision making. Teleconsultations are enabled through the technical development of a secure communication platform, incorporating real-time interaction functionalities through video conferencing and secure messaging. _The rationales for considering integrated monitoring for diet-related disease management as a novel evaluation method are presented as follows_:  
* _Dynamic integration of multifaceted data streams_: Integrated monitoring is a new evaluation technique that stands out because it dynamically integrates several data streams that are specifically designed for the complexities of managing diseases connected to diet. This is in perfect harmony with the fundamentals of connected care, which emphasize the importance of constant real-time data flow from several sources [82]. In contrast to traditional methods, which concentrate only on certain metrics, including dietary intake, integrated monitoring extends its reach to include socioeconomic, environmental, and psychological data. This all-encompassing approach is designed to provide an in-depth understanding of the interactions among different aspects, making it especially appropriate for handling the complex relationships involved in treating diet-related diseases within an integrated care framework;
* _Next-generation precision obtained through smart technologies_: The innovative categorisation of integrated monitoring is emphasized by its dedication to accuracy, particularly with regard to the complexities of managing diseases connected to diets. Aligned with the concepts of connected care, integrated monitoring goes beyond conventional approaches by using advanced sensors, smart algorithms, and machine learning techniques [83];
* _Adaptive framework implies real-time responsiveness_: Integrated monitoring reflects the responsiveness demonstrated by connected care models through the development of an adaptable framework specifically designed for the real-time treatment of diet-related disorders. This approach enables continual assessment and change depending on new dietary patterns [84] as opposed to the static treatment programs used in traditional methods. Within the larger framework of connected care, integrated monitoring's real-time responsiveness guarantees that interventions match patients' changing dietary requests.
