Trying to reduce the risk and cost of chronic disease? You can’t ignore diet quality.
Diet quality is a common measure of how well a person’s eating habits align with nutrition guidelines that promote health and prevent chronic diseases.
Poor diet quality is the #1 risk-factor for all-cause mortality in the US. When diet quality is bad upstream, disease risk and costs become exorbitant downstream.
Diet quality is typically measured with outdated methods that take 90+ minutes to complete, leading to 500M+ missed opportunities to improve it annually.
Tangelo enables healthcare organizations to quickly identify diet-related risk across their population and deploy targeted nutrition interventions that improve chronic conditions and bend the cost curve.
Tangelo’s Diet ID diet quality assessment is quick, accessible, and easily deployed in any setting. Our objective, extensively-validated approach can be done in minutes — democratizing access to critical health information. Twenty-times faster than a traditional dietitian-led assessment, our assessment generates more data in real time and can be scaled population-wide across any demographic.
Tangelo’s interventions show return-on-investment within months by continuously measuring changes in diet quality and other outcomes—enabling payers to go from pilot to population-wide programs effortlessly. Plus, Tangelo’s extensive experience deploying programs within existing claims and regulatory frameworks (like in 1115 Waiver states) makes getting started easy!
Tangelo delivers data-driven food prescriptions and education directly to members’ doorsteps, crafted to meet cultural preferences, taste expectations, readiness to change, and more. We put food at the center, then wrap around additional services like Medical Nutritional Therapy and SDoH screening, providing a holistic approach to addressing member health.
