WINTER PARK, FLORIDA, U.S., May 12, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ – AdventHealth is offering Diet ID as part of a project to assess how patients are responding to lifestyle change programs and what impact it has on healthcare costs. Working with AdventHealth Orlando’s Diabetes Institute, GPs will use Diet ID to measure and manage the nutritional quality of their patients and help them set achievable health goals.
The project known as the “PlantWise Film Challenge” is led by Dr. George Guthrie, former President of the American College of Lifestyle Medicine. Guthrie has helped advance lifestyle change programs that affect thousands of lives.
“We are excited about the potential benefits Diet ID can bring to our patients. This tool enables healthcare providers to get an accurate picture of a patient’s diet and enables effective and appropriate lifestyle guidance to be provided during clinical interactions. The electronic coaching is an additional motivational bonus, ”said Guthrie.
The project, which will involve 600 participants, is focused on reducing the cost of caring for diabetics while improving health outcomes. Participants watch a video about the benefits of a plant-based diet, then take a diet ID assessment and set goals for diet improvement that only takes a minute. The partnership provides AdventHealth with a scientifically validated tool for evaluating and tracking changes in diet over time.
Dr. David Katz, CEO and Founder of Diet ID commented, “Diet-related chronic diseases are the leading cause of preventable death in the United States, and Diet ID offers a long overdue solution to measuring and managing them. We are very excited to be working with AdventHealth to improve the health outcomes of this vulnerable population. “
AdventHealth will begin deploying Diet ID at Winter Park in May 2021.
