10th anniversary of NutriProfiel!
On 28 May we celebrated the 10th anniversary of NutriProfiel.
NutriProfiel is a service of Gelderse Vallei Hospital that provides tailor-made nutritional advice. It combines results from laboratory tests of vitamin B6, B12, D, and folate with information about dietary intake. A key component of NutriProfiel is the Eetscore, a screener of diet quality, developed and validated by our department.
In 2015, NutriProfiel was launched from the Nutrition and Healthcare Alliance and has been successfully integrated in both primary and secondary care in the region.
In addition to being part of usual care upon assessing vitamin status, NutriProfiel also serves as a research tool. Through research projects, tailored versions of NutriProfiel are being developed and evaluated for specific target groups, such as athletes, pregnant women, and people with chronic wounds.
This anniversary is a great opportunity to reflect on what we have achieved and to look ahead to the future. Curious to read more?
