Elevate

After nearly two decades of a Personalized nutrition industry, consumers are still confused on what Personalized nutrition is, and practitioners are not able to define it. Using the terms precision nutrition and personalized nutrition interchangeably has further complicated matters. Furthermore despite increasing consumer interest, there is a misconception that Personalized nutrition is about plant-based eating, designer foods and expensive tests and supplements only available to those with high disposable income.

Why it matters now ?

Prevention, Personalization and Digitization are key drivers for the future of health and medicine. We are also witnessing increased adoption and penetration of wearables and digital health tools powered by AI. However with increasing healthcare costs and a shrinking pool of healthcare professionals, major changes are required to plug this gap. Technology offers an opportunity to deliver remote healthcare, increase self-management as well as detect early signs that require
intervention.

  • Not being inclusive
  • Note accurate owing to algorithmic bias and limited diversity in datasets
  • Costly
  • Lack of reimbursement
  • Not ethical

 

Furthermore, the dangers of misinformation around nutrition and healthy behaviours spreading on social media, is a daily challenge for practitioners and researchers. Food as medicine has swelled into a global movement where nutrition plays a pivotal role. Technology is a key lever to connect the dots between services and expertise in order to reach the right customer/patient with the right product and information BUT, we are only at the beginning.

3 in 4 consumers are pro-actively looking for Personalized nutrition solutions (McKinsey)

The time is now to ensure that no one is left behind in this 4th Industrial revolution. Stakeholders who are committed to building and contributing to creating a credible industry, need to join forces if prevention is the goal. We need to dial up the volume of expert voices in order to protect our societal values and morals to ensure that new innovations are ethical, reliable, rooted in the science to build trust and not erase our Humanness.

We need to ensure that practitioners delivering care are adequately equipped with the knowledge and resources on how these technologies are developed and should be integrated into workflows in order to remain trusted partners in the health journey of an ageing population.

We need to ensure that the questions are answered through quality research to ensure that every person benefits from advances in technology and science and that we do not widen inequality.

However, we know that healthcare practices can be ingrained and resistant to change. But with more consumers having access to and tracking their own data, the concept of practitioners as the sole owner of knowledge needs to change.

Having accurate and independendly expert verified information on the industry is therefore important
