Sifter's Food as Medicine platform identifies grocery products with the appropriate levels of phosphorus, potassium, protein, and sodium. This makes grocery shopping a less complex and frustrating experience for the person trying to find the right kidney-friendly foods.
Our technology uses algorithms developed by registered licensed dietitians and grounded in evidence-based nutrition care practices aligned with food regulations and National Kidney Foundation guidelines. This sophisticated, science-based "sifting" allows for:
• Automated and scalable medically tailored grocery (MTG) lists. These MTG shopping lists are used to transition patients from medically tailored meals (MTMs), giving them helpful guidance on where to find grocery foods and beverages appropriate for their stage of kidney disease.
• Hyper-personalization of dietary guidance. What works for one person with kidney disease may not work for another, making it difficult to find one-size-fits-all products. Sifter technology can personalize the MTG list to align with the patient's cultural or religious identity, other health conditions or food intolerances, and even their ingredient likes and dislikes.
• Greater grocery product variety. Fresh, whole foods are often the best choice for supporting a kidney disease diet, but they can be more expensive, harder to find, or less convenient than processed alternatives. Sifter technology identifies suitable kidney-friendly foods and beverages across all grocery categories: frozen, canned, dried, fresh, and convenience.
• In-store shopping tools. Sifter’s platform includes accurate barcode scanning functionality that can be seamlessly integrated into any health app. Patients use their smartphone to scan grocery products and confirm, on the spot, whether the food is appropriate for their kidney disease diet. No more second-guessing in the grocery aisle.
• Recipe adaptation for renal diets. Our RecipeSifter feature suggests ingredient substitutions to make any online recipe more kidney friendly.
Effective kidney disease management requires careful consideration of food choices to properly manage nutrient levels. Sifter’s Food as Medicine technology makes it easy to give renal patients personalized, actionable guidance where it counts most — when shopping for food.
