Evandro Chagas National Institute of Infectious Diseases Reports Findings in Medical Informatics (Development of a mobile application to represent food intake in inpatients: dietary data systematization).

A recent study conducted at the Evandro Chagas National Institute of Infectious Diseases in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, aimed to develop a mobile application to assess the acceptability and quality of hospital diets for inpatients. The study found that the application, called ARIETI, demonstrated equivalent reliability compared to the traditional paper-based instrument used to monitor food intake. Additionally, the application was found to accelerate the time to diagnose nutritional risk and improve the ability to maintain information quality compared to the paper-based instrument. This research provides valuable insights into the use of technology in improving nutritional care for hospitalized patients. [Extracted from the article]
