Elderly people often lack proper nutrition due to appetite loss, swallowing difficulties, and challenges monitoring their intake. This leads to frailty, muscle loss, and higher healthcare costs. While many medical drinks available today address this issue, they often fall short in terms of taste acceptance due to artificial ingredients and off-flavours from vitamins..

老年人通常由于食欲不振，吞咽困难以及监测摄入的挑战而缺乏适当的营养。这会导致身体虚弱、肌肉萎缩和更高的医疗保健成本。虽然目前许多医用饮料都解决了这个问题，但由于人造成分和维生素的异味，它们在口味接受方面往往不足。。

The AlpinaSana team – comprising Robert Schreiber (CEO), Gommaar D'Hulst (CSO), Jotam Bergfreund (Product Developer), and Raban Ilten (AI Developer) – is at the forefront of personalizing supplements using innovative 3D imaging technology. By scanning the daily food intake of the elderly, the solution can identify individuals’ specific nutritional needs based on which the company creates personalized nutritional supplements in various forms such as meal drinks, Ice creams, and cookies.  The scanner is fully automatic, and it automatically loads nutritional data into the hospital information system..

AlpinaSana aims to start serving the recognized 6% of malnourished patients, and further expand their offering, aiming for a 20% plus of the market. The startup’s primary customers include hospitals, care facilities, and home care services, which distribute AlpinaSana’s products directly to patients.
