Proprietary technology makes logging meals, ingredients, and portion sizes instant and easy

SAN DIEGO: MedImpact Healthcare Systems, Inc., the nation’s largest independent provider of health solutions, technology, and pharmacy benefit management services, announced the addition of a powerful new feature–an AI-driven plate scanner–to its award-winning nutrition, wellness, and chronic condition management app, MedEmpower Fuel™. This new feature lets users log ingredients, portion sizes, and get nutritional information by simply taking a picture of their meal, making it easier than ever for users to manage their nutrition and achieve their health goals.

Incorporating a consumer app, coaching, nutrition guidance, and advanced clinical support, MedEmpower Fuel is a personalized, whole health approach to helping people to manage chronic conditions, such as obesity, diabetes, and other metabolic-related diseases.

Whereas many healthcare apps experience high abandonment rates, MedEmpower Fuel incorporates an innovative approach to gamification, incentives, and rewards to keep users engaged and motivated. By simplifying meal logging, the AI plate scanner removes another critical barrier to long-term use.

MedEmpower Fuel can help track and improve the health of people, regardless of where they are in their health journey. Available to consumers through health plans, employers, retailers, and government programs, MedEmpower Fuel also includes programs tailored for those with obesity, diabetes, hypertension, cancer, autoimmune disease, and behavioral health challenges.

The AI plate scanner is the latest in a series of investments MedImpact is making in technology, platforms, people, and solutions to help clients reduce the cost of healthcare and empower consumers to lead healthier lives. These initiatives will go beyond traditional pharmacy benefits to include medical claims, lab results, social determinants, and other data to enable a personalized, holistic approach to healthcare.
