Sifter's technology is key because it automates and scales food-based interventions and programs that shift the focus to proactive prevention and away from reactive healthcare. Our evidence-based algorithms "sift" grocery products against 1,500+ attributes, including chronic diet-related conditions such as diabetes and heart disease, as well as food allergies and medication interactions. In essence, we bridge the gap between clinically valid nutrition guidance and grocery store foods, making it easier for members and patients to eat better, feel better, and reduce their need for expensive medical intervention.
The real-world applications are game changing:
• Health payers use Sifter to build personalized food benefit programs that motivate members to follow an eating regime that better manages their chronic condition. For example, proper nutrition can be encouraged through a restricted-spend food benefit card that allows members to use funds toward the purchase of foods that support a diabetes diet, heart disease, or GLP-1 treatment.
• Dietitians, pharmacists, and other health professionals use Sifter to create medically tailored grocery (MTG) lists for patients, giving them crucial guidance where it counts most: when food shopping. Sifter's dietary algorithms "sift" for suitable MTGs across all grocery categories, including fresh, frozen, dried, and canned products.
• Hospital discharge units use Sifter to generate highly personalized "food scripts" that consider a patient's specific medical conditions, food intolerances, and cultural preferences. These food scripts make it easier for people to follow a prescriptive diet program upon release from the hospital.
"Going wild on health" is possible today, and it’s being embraced. So don’t wait. For more information on how Sifter can be integrated into your healthy-eating program, contact us to schedule a quick demo.
