Problem
Malnutrition is a significant concern for oncology patients, affecting up to 38% of individuals and leading to premature mortality in 10-20% of cases. Many patients are unaware of their malnutrition status, and healthcare providers often detect it too late, resulting in increased healthcare costs and reduced treatment efficacy. The lack of readily available, personalized nutritional support and monitoring contributes to this problem.
Solution
Nutrilotse is a digital health application designed to address malnutrition in cancer patients by providing real-time screening and personalized dietary recommendations. The platform uses patient-inputted data to perform validated malnutrition screening and offers evidence-based nutritional guidance tailored to individual needs and treatment-related symptoms. Nutrilotse facilitates communication between patients and healthcare providers through an electronic interface, ensuring comprehensive nutritional support throughout the cancer care journey. The application also offers extensive information on nutrition and exercise during cancer treatment, aiming to improve patient outcomes and reduce the burden of malnutrition. By offering a digital companion, Nutrilotse aims to make evidence-based nutrition therapy accessible and integrated into routine oncological care.
