AI agent for dietitians
Hydration and Food Intake Watch Agent
Daily intake meets the target, or the cause of low intake is found and acted on.
What it does
Frail adults can eat and drink too little for days before anyone notices. The agent adds up the daily intake from the food and fluid log and compares it with the person's targets set by the dietitian. It flags low days and runs of low days, then looks for likely causes: the texture of the food, a mood change, a new medicine, an infection or mouth problems. It proposes one change at a time, such as softer meals, smaller portions more often or a preferred drink, and notes a date to recheck. If intake does not improve, it proposes the next change or advises contacting the professional. The caregiver or dietitian approves each change. Edge case: any sign of dehydration, such as dark urine or confusion, is told to a clinician at once.
How it works
Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.
