Digitization of Patient Nutrition Intake in Healthcare – The Case of SwissHospitals

This paper describes the assessment of the economical, ecological and social benefits of digitizing patient nutrition in Healthcare, using the use case of a Swiss tool that measures individual patient nutrition. Improved patient nutrition can reduce treatment costs and food waste, potentially generating benefits to a hospital in all three aspects of the triple bottom line. Using a nutrition intake digitization tool, data on patients’ nutrition is generated with a fully automatic procedure relying on a visual system, implemented in hospital kitchens. With our study we seek to explore the extent to which hospitals can benefit from the integration of this tool.
