myfood24® & NNEdPro Partnership
About myfood24®
Developed using robust methodologies, myfood24® is a digital nutrition analysis platform that automates the diet tracking and assessment process. Used by healthcare professionals, researchers and educators, myfood24 has been used by over 100,000 users in 10 countries to support research into a wide range of diet-related health conditions, from diabetes to heart disease.
The unique myfood24 food and drink dataset holds information on thousands of generic and branded items typically found in supermarkets, restaurants and other food outlets. Nutritional feedback on these items is provided instantly for over 100 macro and micronutrients including vitamins and minerals.
Unlike many other tools, this dataset has not been crowd-sourced. Instead, it has been meticulously created by a team of experts, quality checked for accuracy and validated against biomarkers. myfood24’s academic heritage, evidence-based validation and rigour mean that it provides accurate and credible results in research and clinical settings.
myfood24® is available as a web-based solution and a mobile app to support a wide range of use cases from research to student education to supporting patient treatment and recovery.
