Abstract
Malnutrition in hospitalized patients remains a significant challenge, with studies indicating up to 30% of hospitalized patients and 50% of ICU patients experiencing nutritional deficiencies. This paper presents iNutrimon, a comprehensive digital nutrition management system currently implemented in 15
of India’s leading hospitals, including all five Gleneagles (IHH group) hospitals, AIG Hospital, and SL Raheja Hospital. The system integrates evidence based nutritional screening tools, automated calculations, and standardized care protocols based on ASPEN and ESPEN guidelines. Through systematic implementation and validation over five years, iNutrimon has demonstrated significant improvements in nutritional care delivery, resource utilization, and patient outcomes.
