It is a well-established medical fact the importance of diet compliance in certain diseases like chronic kidney disease, end stage renal disease “dialysis patient”, heart failure, and hypertension. The old fashion way of providing an education pamphlet to address diet is still practiced largely by the medical community, yet the impact on disease burden is yet to be established. The difficulty in applying the complex diet instructions to routine daily life by the patient often requires the memorization of lot of food items. Patient with multiple chronic diseases and on complex treatment plan, often end up in unintentional limited diet compliance. We are introducing and application for smart devices that has the primary role of educating patients with chronic diseases, about diet choices in order to optimize disease control. Although numerous applications have attempted to explore venues and provide tools to address this very important issue, none of the existing applications were successful in making a measurable impact, primarily due to the complexity of the diet intervention that requires the patient to calculate, manually enter, and maintain track of the diet in order to provide the necessary information required to make a diet choice, hence can not be translated in a longitudinal benefit to overall health.
Diet control is one of the most challenging aspect of disease management. We used our technical and medical expertise to develop an easy way to manage and report consumed diet to your medical team or assigned dietician. We created a large database of food items with matching bar code, and labeled each item on the basis of food constituents of sodium, potassium, and phosphorus, using different colors and symbols (for color blind), hence providing an easy tool to the patient to watch their diet in simplistic way. Your individual unique food basket holds all you have consumed over time, with a goal being more than 75 % of green, minimal yellow, and NO red labeled diet items, in order to comply with the recommended disease specific restrictions. The diet compliance is based on the medically recommended reduced daily consumption of sodium “two grams”, Phosphorus “one gram”, and potassium “two grams”. The recommendations are based on one serving of the consumed item. We labeled green color for appropriate food, yellow - food to avoid, and red – not recommended to consume. The more items the patient scans the more accurate you basket is. The application provides the platform for the dialysis community to connect through a dedicated chat room, allowing support and anonymous diet comparison to other patients in the same dialysis unit.
