Summary

The prevalence of disease-related malnutrition among hospitalized patients is 30-50%. There is a lack of tools to follow up the nutritional treatment of these patients. The investigators develop the decision support system "MyFood" which can be used to assess patients' dietary intake, evaluate intake against individual needs, and propose nutrition related measures and an individual nutrition plan for each patient. The investigators will study the clinical effects of using MyFood among hospitalized patients. In addition the implementation of the tool among healthcare workers will be studied.
