Data on Nutrition For You: An app for monitoring patients undergoing nutritional therapy
Abstract
Hospital malnutrition worsens patient outcomes and increases costs. In Brazil, 30 to 50% of hospitalized patients are or will become malnourished during their hospital stay. Electronic medical records do not effectively address this problem. DataOnNutrition For You was designed to simplify nutritional therapy management, helping nutritionists and dietitians create tailored nutritional prescriptions and track daily infusion. The initial version, available in app stores, allows for precise anthropometric calculations and automated calculation of caloric and protein needs.
