Advocate Health, Memorial Hermann Health System, and Intermountain Health partner with company using ‘foodscripts’ to help patients improve their food and nutrition security
Food-as-medicine programs continue to gain momentum, with some studies indicating they can help patients show clinical improvements for conditions such as diabetes. In one example, a telenutrition company called Foodsmart is scaling up the reach of its comprehensive “foodcare” program in partnership with three large health systems: Advocate Health, Memorial Hermann Health System, and Intermountain Health.
The company has received $10 million in funding from the three health systems plus the American College of Cardiology and Glen Tullman, the founder of Allscripts, as well as Livongo and Transcarent. That brings its Series C funding to $40 million.
