Welltok is partnering with Healthy Dining to make America healthier. Under the deal, Welltok’s CaféWell Concierge app, powered by IBM Watson’s cognitive computing technology, has been updated to integrate Healthy Dining’s restaurant nutrition data and provide personalized menu choices. The application recommends healthy meal options based on individual’s dietary restrictions, health needs, weight and fitness goals, or food preferences. Every menu item is validated by Healthy Dining’s team of registered dietitians and contains healthful nutrition attributes.
“By coupling Healthy Dining’s data with IBM Watson’s cognitive ability to understand an individual’s dietary preferences and recognize their location, the CafeWell Concierge app guides users to the best menu choices and supports their journey to optimized health,” said Jeff Cohen, co-founder and VP of functional architecture for Welltok.
The CaféWell Concierge app was recently launched by Colorado-based Centura Health to support consumers who are transitioning back to everyday life after experiencing a heart condition. Using Concierge, consumers get personalized, on-demand guidance and rewards for choosing healthier, lower sodium “Sodium Savvy” dishes at local restaurants.
