Dietary Assessments and Meal planning

Over 90% of children suffer from some or other dietary deficiencies, often leading to acute and chronic lifelong problems.  Most pediatric clinics are unable to provide dietary assessments for their patients and provide sustainable dietary solutions (meal plans). 

Under this program, pediatricians receive a red-flag screening system by which they can send pre-consultation and self assessment forms to their patients and the system points out the red flags. Pediatricians can then prescribe a dietary assessment and meal plan by a pediatric nutritionist or a dietary assessment services provider on the system.

The  Dietary assessments and meal planning includes:

  1. New National Red Flag Guidelines published by IAP to detect the need for a nutritional assessment.

    The red flag guidelines indicating the need for nutritional assessment are available here: https://smartclinic2.diapindia.org/red-flag-guidelines-indicating-need-for-a-nutritional-assessment/

  1. Training on the red flag guidelines to pediatricians by IAP.

The service can only be used by doctors and clinics who are already registered on the system.
