Sumario:Abstract: Many European Union Framework Programme‐funded projects and networks have developed tools, knowledge and data that are not being exploited to their full potential. <italic>Quantify Life – Feed Yourself</italic> (<italic>QuaLiFY</italic>) sought to capitalise on these resources by making them available to small‐ and medium‐sized enterprises delivering personalised dietary advice services to consumers directly or via healthcare. This study describes how <italic>QuaLiFY</italic> supported the development of scientifically validated, personalised dietary advice tools and services through development of a federated information and communication technology infrastructure (<italic>Quisper</italic>), based on open source coding, and tested personalised dietary advice approaches amongst target groups, including overweight young people and dietitians supporting people with type 2 diabetes.
