Problem
Doctors often instruct patients to "eat healthier" but lack the resources to provide ongoing, practical nutritional support. Patients leave appointments with a pamphlet and no one to contact when they face real-world decisions, such as choosing a dressing in the cereal aisle at 7pm, leading to a gap between clinical guidance and daily execution.
Solution
Joyce Health is a doctor-prescribed food companion that connects patients with a registered dietitian and a dedicated food coach for a structured 12-session program. The process begins with a physician prescribing Joyce and sending over the patient's medical details. Patients then meet their dietitian via telehealth to create a personalized JoyceRx plan that blends clinical and culinary goals. Between visits, patients can text their food coach anytime with meal photos or pantry questions, receiving small, doable nudges. Every two weeks, patients join a 30-minute telehealth follow-up with their dietitian to review progress and adjust the plan, keeping the program adaptable and realistic.
Target Audience
Primary customers are patients with chronic conditions such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and weight management concerns whose doctors prescribe the service, as well as healthcare providers seeking to improve patient nutrition outcomes without adding tasks to their own workload.
