Medical advances have increased life expectancy, but this hasn't necessarily meant an increase in healthy life expectancy. Although people are living longer, it's common for older adults to suffer from debilitating chronic diseases that can make those later years miserable, not to mention expensive due to increased healthcare costs.
Sifter is the Food as Medicine Platform.

Dietary technology has the potential to significantly contribute to healthy longevity by enabling more precise, personalized, and effective approaches to nutrition. Sifter's medically tailored grocery solutions help anyone maintain better health for longer periods by making it easier to eat a nutrient-dense, balanced diet. Our powerful technology accurately identifies which grocery foods best support any number of chronic health conditions, including diabetes, kidney disease, obesity, and heart disease. The real-world applications are game changing:

▪︎ Dietitians, pharmacists, and other health professionals use Sifter technology 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.

▪︎ Health insurers 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 MTGs that support a diabetes diet.

Longevity doesn’t always equate to better quality of life. Sifter's medically tailored grocery technology can help Americans spend more years in good health through smart food choices.
