FAQs
Is it good for my patients?
Most, if not all, chronic disease guidelines recommend medical nutrition therapy for disease management and prevention. But we know this can be hard to deliver. RxFood helps you deliver evidence-based nutritional recommendations. In our clinical practice, patients really appreciate having the ability to learn how to modify their diet, plus we have the outcomes to prove it makes a difference.
Is it backed by science?
RxFood has, and continues, to be rigorously tested. The accuracy of the technology has been shown to be similar to research grade databases like ESHA. Clinically, after 3 months of use, children with type 1 diabetes managed in a quaternary diabetes center demonstrated improved ability to CHO count and lower A1c (0.8% improvement compared to the control group). Plus, CHO counting testing was done without using the app, signalling learnability. Our reports are based on the latest food guides and strong evidence-based recommendations. And we never stop studying and improving.
How can it help my organization?
RxFood has demonstrated positive improvements in chronic disease metrics such as weight and A1c. These improvements can be translated directly into cost savings for the health system. For example, based on our randomized control trial, we generated a cost savings of over $1000 per person per year. Given the cost of RxFood, we create a 5x ROI. The data we generate can also help your hospital create targeted and preventative programs.
Plus, we can make a clinical team more efficient, allowing them to deliver better care to more people. Together, these create value to organizations.
