The Lifestyle Medicine program at Hartford HealthCare recently launched Diet ID™, the evidence-based nutrition well-being toolkit, to objectively measure and improve patient nutrition quality. The Diet ID platform will play a critical role in helping patients reverse chronic disease as part of the program’s personalized, goal-oriented approach.

“Diet ID is efficient and only takes a few minutes to complete, it can be repeated to track progress, and it has been validated to correlate with changes in metabolic parameters,” said Steven Borer, DO, FACC, a cardiologist at Hartford HealthCare’s Heart and Vascular Institute, under which the program operates. “It is unique in its design and, unlike many other diet programs, it is not available to individual consumers for purchase.”
