AI Tool for Nutrition Risk Screening
Let an AI agent review Epic, Cerner, and lab results to instantly flag patients who need urgent nutrition intervention—so you can focus on direct care, not paperwork.
You’re a critical care nurse juggling EMRs like Epic, sifting through lab values, and cross-referencing notes in Outlook or shared drives—worried you’ll miss a subtle sign of malnutrition. The manual review eats up your shift and leaves you anxious about missing a detail. Every overlooked risk means more work, longer stays, and more stress for you and your team.
An AI agent that scans EMRs and labs to flag critical care patients at risk for nutrition-related complications, saving nurses hours each week.
What this replaces
The hidden cost
What this is really costing you
In hospital critical care units, nurses spend hours each week reviewing patient charts in Epic or Cerner, digging through lab panels and dietitian notes to spot nutrition risks. The process is tedious and error-prone—important details get buried in endless documentation. Instead of focusing on patient care, nurses are stuck updating Excel sheets and writing referral justifications. The time lost adds up fast, draining both energy and resources.
Time wasted
2-3 hours/week
Every week, burned on work an AI agent handles in minutes.
Money lost
$5,400-$8,100/year
In salary, missed revenue, and operational drag — annually.
If you keep ignoring it
Missed nutrition risks can lead to preventable complications, longer ICU stays, and higher readmission rates. Nurses risk burnout from repetitive chart reviews, while hospitals face increased costs and potential liability from delayed interventions.

AI Agent FAQ
No, your clinical expertise remains essential. The agent provides evidence-based insights and highlights risk factors, but you make all care decisions for your patients.
You can import data from Epic, Cerner, or Meditech via supported file formats like CSV or HL7. Direct API integration is available for some systems—check with your IT team for compatibility.
All data is encrypted in transit using TLS 1.3 and never stored after your session. The agent meets HIPAA requirements for data handling and does not retain any patient information.
For a typical ICU census, the agent analyzes and returns a prioritized risk list within 30 to 60 seconds, depending on the number of patients and data volume.
Currently, the agent is optimized for adult critical care patients. Support for pediatric and multi-language records is in development and will be available in future updates.
