The funding supported testing a smartphone application that enabled patients to submit images of their meals for dietitians to assess and offer customized, individualized feedback over a year.
The major players operating in the market are adopting strategies such as collaborations, supply agreements, and partnerships with a major focus on enhancing product formation and reach.
