作为药物的食品平台Heali现已在加利福尼亚州注册医疗补助收费服务，并推出了其医疗营养治疗工具，该初创公司仅与MedCity News共享。

Los Angeles-based Heali launched in November and offers an AI-driven app that provides personalized nutrition plans for more than 200 chronic conditions, including pre-diabetes, obesity, heart disease, Crohn’s and mental health. These plans take into account the user’s goals, preferences, weight, activity level and dietary restrictions. .

总部位于洛杉矶的Heali于11月推出，它提供了一个人工智能驱动的应用程序，可为200多种慢性病（包括糖尿病前期、肥胖症、心脏病、克罗恩病和心理健康）提供个性化营养计划。这些计划考虑了用户的目标、偏好、体重、活动水平和饮食限制。。

Heali’s contract with Medicaid in California is its first public healthcare partnership. It is also contracted with Blue Shield of California on the commercial side and works with several provider organizations, including Boston Heart Diagnostics. The company aims to work with more Medicaid programs in the future, according to Kyle Dardashti, founder and CEO of Heali..

希利与加州Medicaid签订的合同是其第一个公共医疗合作伙伴关系。它还与加州蓝盾公司签订了商业合同，并与包括波士顿心脏诊断公司在内的多家供应商组织合作。Heali创始人兼首席执行官凯尔·达达什蒂（KyleDardashti）表示，该公司计划在未来与更多的医疗补助计划合作。。

“The government public sector is seeing the value of medical nutrition therapy, not only because it has such a profound impact for metabolic conditions like type 2 diabetes or even-pre diabetes, but that it extends much wider than that,” Dardashti said in an interview. “They are now reimbursing for conditions anywhere between gastrointestinal conditions like Crohn’s or an IBS but also even neurological conditions.

Dardashti在一次采访中说：“政府公共部门正在看到医学营养疗法的价值，不仅因为它对2型糖尿病甚至糖尿病前期等代谢状况有如此深远的影响，而且它的范围要广得多。”。“他们现在正在报销胃肠道疾病（如克罗恩病或肠易激综合征）之间的任何疾病，甚至还有神经系统疾病。

These conditions traditionally in the past were never covered by the public payer system.”.

传统上，公共付款人制度从未涵盖这些条件。”。

Heali has also unveiled its Medical Nutrition Therapy tool, which is available on its app and offers patients and providers access to a library of evidence-based dietary recommendations categorized by condition. The company has done systematic reviews of 239 conditions and has gathered research on the evidence-based nutrition protocols for those conditions.

Heali还推出了其医疗营养治疗工具，该工具可在其应用程序上获得，并为患者和提供者提供了按病情分类的循证饮食建议库。该公司对239种情况进行了系统评价，并收集了针对这些情况的循证营养方案的研究。

Users can select one or multiple conditions and then see all of the effective dietary protocols for the conditions. They can also review the research for themselves..

用户可以选择一个或多个条件，然后查看所有有效的饮食方案。他们也可以自己审查研究。

“It’s extremely valuable for providers who are treating multiple different condition states or patients who are maybe polychronic with different conditions that [the provider] is not a specialist in,” Dardashti said. “Secondly, [it’s valuable] for the patient to be able to see it for themselves and then have the tools to adhere to those dietary recommendations.”.

Dardashti说：“这对于治疗多种不同疾病状态的提供者或可能患有不同疾病的多时患者来说非常有价值。”。“其次，[这很有价值]让患者能够自己看到它，然后拥有遵守这些饮食建议的工具。”。

The tool was previously only available for internal use with Heali dietitians. It is now available to any patient or provider on the Heali app. It’s being offered for free for a limited time but is going to have a paywall on it in the near future, Dardashti said.

该工具以前仅可供Heali营养师内部使用。现在，Heali应用程序上的任何患者或提供者都可以使用它。Dardashti说，这是在有限的时间内免费提供的，但在不久的将来会有一个付费墙。

He added that Heali aims to prove that food can be an effective tool to prevent, treat and manage disease.

他补充说，Heali旨在证明食物可以成为预防、治疗和管理疾病的有效工具。

“The way that we do that is by leading with the research and ensuring that the diets we’re recommending to patients are the ones that are evidence-backed, and by winning the trust of the patient by making that research available to them,” Dardashti declared.

达达什蒂宣布：“我们这样做的方式是领导研究，确保我们向患者推荐的饮食是有证据支持的饮食，并通过向患者提供研究来赢得患者的信任。”
