Problem
Patients in hospitals and care facilities often experience eating difficulties and unintended weight loss, yet clinicians lack efficient tools to screen, monitor, and intervene on nutritional intake in real time.
Solution
FoodCapture’s Er:När is a patient‑centered nutrition app that digitizes the entire nutrition workflow. It begins with a validated screening (MST) to identify at‑risk patients, then provides a simple calorie‑counting interface for real‑time food and drink registration. The app generates personalized dietary plans aligned with national undernutrition guidelines and tracks adherence, giving both patients and staff immediate insight into intake versus targets. Data are securely shared with clinicians, enabling earlier interventions, reduced documentation time, and the possibility of remote follow‑up after discharge.
Target Audience
Primary users are dietitians, nurses, and other healthcare professionals in hospitals, health houses, and community care settings who manage patients with eating challenges or risk of undernutrition.
