TrayVerify provides a HIPAA‑ and NIST‑compliant AI platform that captures a photographic, timestamped record of every meal tray at the point of service, enabling hospitals to verify diet, texture, and allergen compliance in seconds. By delivering real‑time quality data across multiple stakeholder views, the system helps dietary teams improve patient safety, boost CMS star ratings, and reduce costs associated with food‑related errors.

Problem
Hospital food service operations often suffer from diet mismatches, incorrect texture modifications, and allergen conflicts on meal trays, leading to patient safety incidents, regulatory penalties, and increased costs. Without an objective, real‑time verification system, hospitals lack reliable data to monitor and improve tray accuracy.
Solution
TrayVerify delivers an AI‑powered verification platform that captures a photograph of each meal tray at the line, timestamps it, and automatically checks the tray against the prescribed diet, texture requirements, and allergen restrictions. The analysis is completed in seconds and the results are stored in a HIPAA‑ and NIST‑compliant database, providing a single source of truth for all stakeholders. Administrators can view aggregated quality metrics, while dietary leaders and clinicians can drill down to individual tray receipts to identify specific errors. The system is installed and calibrated within 90 days, enabling hospitals to quickly generate measurable quality data for compliance reporting, cost reduction, and rating improvements.
Target Audience
Primary customers are hospital food service departments, including administrators, dietary managers, and quality/safety officers who need accurate, auditable tray verification to meet regulatory and rating requirements.
