AssureCare has launched NutraVance, an AI-enabled nutrition management platform for healthcare organisations aimed at Food as Medicine programmes.
The platform is designed to bring nutrition assessment, care planning, meal planning, patient engagement and reimbursement workflows into a single system used within clinical and administrative processes.
Healthcare providers and payers have invested more heavily in nutrition-based interventions as they look for ways to address chronic disease, preventive care and health equity. Yet many of those programmes have remained limited in scope because they sit outside standard care workflows and are difficult to document, measure and bill for.
NutraVance is intended to manage the full cycle of nutrition care, from identifying at-risk groups and assessing need to coordinating interventions, supporting billing and tracking outcomes over time.
Workflow gap
The launch reflects a wider push by healthcare technology suppliers to embed nutrition more directly into care management systems, particularly as providers seek evidence that non-medical interventions can affect utilisation, outcomes and costs.
At the centre of NutraVance is what AssureCare describes as an agentic AI framework. The software can generate nutrition and meal recommendations based on clinical conditions, allergies, preferences and care goals, while analysing intake and wellness patterns to flag risks.
The system also supports outreach, reminders, education and documentation tasks. AssureCare said the software is meant to assist dietitians and care managers rather than replace them, and that it operates within clinical governance and evidence-based safeguards.
Yousuf Ahmad, chief executive officer of AssureCare, said the product was created to address long-standing barriers that have kept nutrition initiatives from becoming a routine part of healthcare delivery.
"Food as Medicine isn't a new idea - the clinical evidence has been there for years, and healthcare has known that without being able to act. The tools weren't there. The workflow wasn't there. The infrastructure wasn't there. NutraVance is the answer to that," Ahmad said.
"We built it because we believe nutrition belongs at the center of care - not beside it. The patients we serve deserve a healthcare system that treats food with the same rigor, coordination, and accountability expected of other clinical services," he added.
AI in care
AssureCare positions the platform as part of a broader strategy to embed AI into healthcare delivery, especially in areas where care teams face administrative burden and fragmented patient information.
Mayur Yermaneni, executive vice president of strategy & innovation at AssureCare, said the company wanted to build a system that combines clinical workflow, patient engagement and reimbursement support in one place.
"Nutrition has historically lived outside core healthcare workflows, which limits both impact and scalability," Yermaneni said.
"Our vision for NutraVance was to build more than a nutrition application - we set out to create an intelligent, clinically integrated platform for Food as Medicine. By combining agentic AI, patient engagement, clinical workflows, and reimbursement enablement into one ecosystem, NutraVance helps transform nutrition from a disconnected benefit into a measurable, operationalised component of whole-person care. This launch reflects our broader strategy of embedding responsible AI directly into healthcare delivery to improve outcomes," he added.
The platform is also intended to give patients a larger role in managing their own nutrition and wellness, while feeding interoperable data back into the care setting. That could matter for organisations trying to build a fuller picture of patient behaviour between appointments and across care teams.
Brian Jones, director of nutrition at AssureCare, said nutrition often loses priority when it remains separate from core care systems.
"As a dietitian, I've seen firsthand what happens when nutrition sits outside the care workflow - it becomes deprioritized, under-documented, and disconnected from both the patient and the broader care journey," Jones said.
"NutraVance connects nutrition directly into the clinical experience while giving patients a more active role in sharing meaningful nutrition and wellness data. Every interaction helps build a more complete, interoperable picture of the patient over time. That's not just better technology, it's better care," he added.
