What our partners are saying
“RxFood has provided me with so much useful data and insights about my patients’ nutrition. I was able to easily and quickly provide suggestions for my patients that I was previously not able to. I am also considering to use it for data collection in my research studies.”
“I really like RxFood and am so impressed with it. I like RxFood better than other apps that I have tried to use because it shows more relevant and accurate information and most of all, it’s linked to our clinician. We have been logging typical Ethiopian dishes and the automated logging feature was so accurate! I am so impressed!”
“The advantage of RxFood app over traditional tools is that it is less burdensome, more cost effective, and usable compared to other diet assessment tools since it provides an automated analysis of nutritional composition, compared to time consuming traditional tools that require a trained coder and expensive nutrition composition analysis software.”
“Really impressed with the level of detail yet how easy it is to read the assessment that gets generated from my patients’ food logs. Love the different features it provides - never seen this anywhere else! Excellent summary of key areas where patients are doing well in and other nutrients to be more mindful about.”
