Development of a food sensation and genotyping informatics system for the University of Florida Center for Smell and Taste (UFCST)

A web-based database system was created to collect patient data from taste and other food sensation tests from multiple sites. The tool was designed with the flexibility do add additional tests as desired. Additionally, it collects patient genotyping data which is imported from a genotyping repository. The database collects basic demographic, consent and referral information. It captures data from a spatial taste test, flavor perception test and viscosity test.
