Diet ID is partnering with Fruit Street to improve their digital diabetes prevention program
Partnership sets the new standard for virtual diabetes prevention programs
DETROIT, MI, UNITED STATES, July 1, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ – With an estimated 88 million people – or nearly one in three – living with prediabetes in the United States, there is a growing need for effective diabetes prevention programs (DPPs). that educate and involve the population and have a sustainable, measurable impact on health. A groundbreaking partnership between Diet ID and Fruit Street will do just that.
As the only digital diabetes prevention program fully recognized by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Fruit Street offers advisory wellness and lifestyle advice through telemedicine and HIPAA-compliant live group video conferencing. The partnership with Diet ID strengthens Fruit Street’s solution with an entirely new way to assess diet on entry, track diet changes as the program progresses, and offer personalized nutritional advice. All participants will have to rely on a nutritional pattern and quality that corresponds to the DPP, but can now choose their preferred variant on this common theme, from paleo to vegan. The robust nutrition assessment tool uses image-based comparisons to determine the participant’s nutritional starting point and target diet in seconds.
The CEO and founder of Diet ID, Dr. David Katz commented, “Prediabetes is an epidemic in our country and the digital delivery of the diabetes prevention program is exactly the right response to reach the many millions at risk. This exciting collaboration will transform diabetes prevention with a bold advance in nutritional assessment and the ability for each participant to personalize their nutritional goal. We are proud of the partnership and look forward to the opportunity. “
Fruit Street CEO Laurence Girard commented, “We’re excited to add Diet ID to Fruit Street’s digital toolbox! Diet ID will help empower Fruit Street’s Virtual Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) by providing program participants with yet another tool to help them make actionable lifestyle changes to prevent chronic disease. Fruit Street’s program currently allows attendees to take photos of their meals and get feedback from their nutritionist within the app. By adding the Diet ID assessment at set intervals during the year-long DPP, participants and lifestyle coaches can better assess changes in nutritional quality over the course of the program. Diet ID will help us measure what we think our program is doing: Promoting improved nutritional quality among participants who stick to the Fruit Street DPP. We also expect the pilot to show that participants who have access to Diet ID during the program are better equipped to make individual dietary changes, leading to improved outcomes. We look forward to seeing how Diet ID can impact positive diet changes in our populations and improve the program experience. “
The Fruit Street and Diet ID solution launches this fall to thousands of prediabetic Americans looking to improve their health outcomes.
