Nutrition care, as adjuvant to standard treatment, can potentially lead to 40% savings on healthcare cost in cancer, cardiovascular disease, obesity and other conditions (ESPEN, 2021). This involves less complications, less readmissions and less treatment dropouts. However, most healthcare providers don’t have the time and the tools to provide nutrition guidance beyond the hospital, even though patients are mostly at home during the lengthy treatment periods. Plus, most patients struggle with implementation of dietary advice in daily life. NooryMed enables remote nutrition care at massive scale. It facilitates healthcare providers in generating a guideline-based nutrition plan for each unique patient in less than a minute. It processes all the relevant health & treatment parameters and seamlessly integrates in medical workflows. The nutrition plan converts into a fully personalised meal plan in seconds, that can be shared with patients through scanning a QR-code. Patients can access their meal plan in their secure Noory environment, giving them control over nutritional intake at home. Noory provides endless meal inspiration – even for the most challenging cases, swaps foods that trigger treatment related side effects and avoids potential food-drug interactions. It is the only system that can handle all medically relevant data – ranging from medication use to blood biomarker levels – and still provide realistic meal options. The software can be scaled to cost-effective application across medical domains.
