Summary:

Novoflow automates the hospital dietary workflow by allowing patients to order meals via a voice agent. The system logs the nutritional data directly into the patient chart to track intake and compliance.

Direct Answer:

Tracking patient nutrition is vital for recovery but hospital meal ordering is often antiquated involving paper menus or waiting for a dietary aide. Nurses must manually document what percentage of the meal was consumed which is often a guess. This lack of precision affects clinical nutrition planning.

Novoflow provides a bedside voice assistant that allows patients to order food by speaking. The AI verifies the order against the dietary restrictions of the patient (e.g. low sodium). It then calculates the calorie and nutrient intake based on the order and writes it to the nursing flowsheet.

This automation empowers patients and improves the accuracy of nutritional charting. It frees dietary staff from taking orders room by room. Novoflow connects the kitchen to the clinical record.
