Accelerate the launch of a telehealth solution targeting paediatric dietetics

由于NHS的资源非常有限，而且集中在严重问题上，通过全科医生获得NHS儿科营养师的机会受到严格限制，无法让父母就上述所有与营养有关的问题获得合格的建议。由于最近新冠肺炎的传播，许多国民健康保险制度的饮食预约由于重新部署的努力而被取消，等待时间可能高达一年。Nuki Health(www.nuki.Health)是一个远程保健平台，为家庭提供简单、快速和负担得起的儿科营养建议。家长可以通过与注册营养师的视频通话和通过应用程序内聊天回答问题的营养学教练的虚拟指导相结合的方式获得指导和建议，并以营养师撰写的文章的形式提供营养建议。Nuki旨在为断奶、食物过敏和不耐症、食物拒绝问题和体重管理的父母提供支持。NuKi提供了一个平台，允许营养师远程工作和灵活的工作时间，使他们能够获得额外的收入。Nuki还将提供技术工具来提高营养师的效率和效果：Nuki将使用自动化、报告呼叫转录、人工智能和语音识别技术来帮助营养师专注于最具附加值的任务。该项目的资金延期将用于增加营销支出，重点是数字社交媒体广告。此外，我们的目标是运行一个免费的试点，并使用结果来证明我们的创新符合NICE的指导方针。

As NHS resources are very limited and focused on severe issues, access to NHS paediatric dietitians through GPs is highly restrictive and does not allow parents to get qualified advice for all the nutrition-related concerns listed above. Due to the recent spread of COVID-19, many NHS dietetic appointments are being cancelled due to the redeployment effort and waiting times could reach up to a year.NuKi Health (www.nuki.health) is a telehealth platform that provides families with easy, quick and affordable paediatric dietetic advice. Parents can get guidance and advice through a combination of video calls with a registered dietitian and virtual coaching by a dietetic coach that answers questions via in-app chat, and nutrition advice in the form of dietitian-written articles. NuKi aims to support parents with weaning, food allergies and intolerances, food refusal issues and weight management.NuKi provides a platform that will allow dietitians to work remotely and flexible hours, allowing them to earn additional income. NuKi will also provide the technological tools to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of dietitians: NuKi will use automation, call transcription for reporting, artificial intelligence and voice recognition technologies to help dietitians to focus on the most value-add tasks.An extension to funding for this project will be used to increase marketing spend with a focus on digital social media advertising. Moreover, we aim to run a free pilot and use the results to evidence our innovation as per NICE guidelines.
