Defining Nutrition Informatics

Nutrition Informatics is an effective retrieval, organization, storage, and optimum use of information, data, and knowledge for food- and nutrition-related problem solving and decision-making. Nutrition informatics is the management of the information dietetics professionals need to practice successfully while tailoring recommendations to meet each patient’s specific needs.

Why the need?

• Nutrition informatics describes intersection of nutrition, information, and technology, and it underlies all areas of dietetics practice.
• Growing opportunity to facilitate technology-enabled behavioral change interventions to support NI research and practice.
• Management and interpretation of data could help clarify the relationships and interrelationships of diet and disease at international, national and regional levels.
• Need to prepare a NI workforce that could provide valuable tools to address the double burden of nutrition.
• The program combines theoretical aspect with presentation of practical solutions in real world settings.

Skills Student Acquire

• Use data for problem solving and improving practice outcomes.
• Use of systems for the effective collection, organization, and interpretation of data.
• Use of clinical information systems to find information related to patient care.
• Evaluation of quality of health information over the internet.
• Design and develop innovative solutions to address issues related to nutrition.
• Competency in the analysis, management, and evaluation of technology and applications.
• Examination of role of data, policy, and technology enabled behavioral change interventions to support nutritional informatics research and practice.
• Guiding consumers to apply the information available to them through informatics systems

Program Benefits

• Become a member and participate in nutrition informatics research team.
• Opportunity to develop technology based interventions to address problems related to nutrition.
• Opportunity to work in technological settings and communicate data and information effectively.
• Show nutrition informatics knowledge to better qualify for higher education.
• Integrate knowledge of nutrition informatics into nutritional care to enhances the quality of nutrition care.
• Improve the efficiency and quality of work with enhanced digital literacy.

Program Features

• Synchronous and Asynchronous learning
• Weekly interactive lectures
• Weekly discussions
• Problem solving exercises
• Case studies
• Quizzes
• Research Seminar
• Experiential learning
• Research advisor assigned
