Nourish Health & Happiness: Combat Malnutrition in Seniors
Novaq empowers seniors and families to proactively monitor nutritional intake and manage weight, ensuring vital health and well-being with intelligent tracking and alerts.
Malnutrition is a significant concern for older adults, with studies indicating that up to 13% of seniors living independently may be malnourished, a figure that can soar to 50% in hospital or long-term care settings. Furthermore, approximately 1 in 5 older adults (20%) are at risk for malnutrition, often leading to weakened immunity, slower wound healing, and decreased muscle strength.
The Caregiving Challenge
Managing proper nutrition and healthy weight in seniors can be complex due to factors like decreased appetite, dental issues, medication side effects, or difficulty preparing meals. For families, monitoring their loved one's nutritional intake and weight changes remotely can be challenging, often leading to late detection of significant health declines.
