| Summary: | Hypertension is a leading modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular disease and death worldwide, with a high prevalence in Malaysia. This study develops a web-based diet recommendation system for patients with hypertension patients using an expert system. The system includes a knowledge base on the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet for hypertension patients, a calorie, body mass index (BMI) calculation tool, a food database, and a dietary assessment to gather information about the user's salt diet. The study uses the Agile model, which comprises four phases: planning and requirements, design and analysis, development, and testing. The system allows individuals with hypertension to take control of their health and improve their quality of life through better nutrition. Overall, this system is a successful technological tool for assisting individuals with hypertension to maintain a healthy weight and blood pressure levels. © 2023 IEEE.
