Diet ID™ Platform

Diet ID ™ is a digital toolkit that reinvents diet assessment and management with an innovative, clinically proven image-based approach to diet assessment and defidefinition of objectives. The platform has recently been innovated, inserting new traces of identification and management of conditions, to prevent: cancer, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and brain health.

Dietary change is most successful when the experience is personalized and recognizable. Diet ID not only evaluates your baseline diet but helps you achieve a healthier way of eating. The platform's methodology rejects the one-size-fits-all dietary approach, favoring a responsive approach that democratizes access to healthy eating. The experience "meets people where they are", because everyone lives a unique health journey. Diet ID's sensitivity to diversity and heritage is reflected in its culturally relevant guidance, recognizing that food is not just about nutrition, but an expression of personal preference, background and culture.

North American experience

About two-thirds of American adults suffer from one or more manageable health conditions, at least in part, with diet and lifestyle. The Diet ID solution recognizes these challenges by providing evidence-based dietary recommendations that address each person's health goals and tailors recommendations based on dietary preferences, restrictions, and eating styles. The experience allows someone to screen these health goals, along with others, to receive a tailored blueprint of dietary changes to make to help them achieve their goals.

There are 18,1 million survivors of the cancer in the United States, or about 5,4% of the population. Diet is a powerful means of improving survival and optimizing overall health. According to leading cancer organizations such as the American Cancer Society and the Cancer Support Community, good nutrition is an important part of caring beyond cancer treatment. Diet ID offers high-quality, nutrient-rich dietary approaches for cancer survivors.

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common form of chronic liver disease, affecting approximately a quarter of the population. Diet and exercise are key interventions to resolve this condition. One study showed a 50% resolution of NAFLD among patients who lost 5,0–6,9% of their weight; 60% of those losing 7,0-9,9% of body weight and 97% of those losing ≥10% of total body weight. Diet ID supports healthy weight loss and improved nutrition consistent with treatment of NAFLD.

Scientific research shows that lifestyle changes can protect memory and cognition as we age. This is good news, given that there are an estimated 50 million people living with dementia worldwide, with around 10 million new cases each year. Diet ID's target dietary patterns include several specific patterns for the prevention of cognitive decline; these models show great promise as a low-cost, sustainable treatment option.

Food styles

The goal-oriented diet guide by Diet ID it is suitable for a wide range of medical approaches. For example, clients who prefer a lifestyle medicine approach use a whole foods, plant-based strategy to help their patients manage a wide range of conditions. Traditionally, therapeutic diets for these conditions may include animal products, but for those using lifestyle medicine, dietary therapy is plant-based and customized to each patient's needs. In this way, dietary advice can be effective while respecting food preferences and styles.
