Diet and Nutrition
Use Avicenna’s patient-centric solution to get insight into participants’ dietary behavior, how it’s impacted by personal, environmental, and social determinants, and how it impacts quality of life.
Overview
Investigating the relationship between diet and risk factors for chronic diseases is the basis of many dietary clinical trials and public health nutrition research.
However, the poor adherence to medications, differences in dietary behaviors, and the complexity of nutritional interventions have significant implications on the outcomes of both therapeutic and preventive nutrition trials.
Avicenna provides a flexible solution that allows researchers to collect information about individuals’ habits and dietary routines, and implement interventions based on the collected data.

-
Surveys
Design close-ended surveys such as food frequency questionnaires, or open-ended surveys such as dietary recall, in a few simple steps to assess the dietary intake objectively.
