[Fraser Health] Set a Precedent in Innovative Nutrition Management
Use Case of NutriVision
Revolutionizing Hospital Food Management
In hospital food management, it is paramount to ensure that patients receive adequate nutrition for timely recovery, while simultaneously minimizing food waste.
The challenge lies in accurately and efficiently tracking each patient’s food consumption, a task traditionally reliant on manual estimation by humans.
This status quo of manual estimation by healthcare personnel is labor-intensive, time-consuming, and prone to human error.
Fraser Health, one of the biggest Canadian healthcare authorities based in British Columbia, recognizes the significance of precise food consumption tracking and understands the limitations of such a status quo.
To overcome current limitations, Fraser Health has implemented NutriVision at one of its major hospitals, Royal Columbian Hospital.
With this initial implementation, Fraser Health aims to validate NutriVision’s accuracy, precision, and efficiency in food identification and consumption measurement before a wider deployment of the solution.
Precision with Less Human Effort
NutriVision measures individual patient’s meal consumption with minimal human intervention, eliminating manual estimation and record-keeping.
Healthcare personnel simply place a tray under a NutriVision’s scanner, which acquires RGB and 3D images of the food items presented.
Nutrivision can identify types of food and measure their amount with an accuracy comparable to a skilled human assessor with years of experience.
After proving its effectiveness in a hospital kitchen setting, NutriVision will enhance the patient nutrition care across the domain to ultimately alleviate healthcare personnel burden and reduce food waste.
A Future of Efficient Care
As Fraser Health conducts a formal validation and assessment process, NutriVision stands ready to transform hospital nutrition management.
Looking ahead, NutriVision’s success at Royal Columbian Hospital could pave the way for future expansion across hospitals in Canada, promising even greater advancements in patient care and operational efficiency.
