Use of Next Generation Technology for Proper Enteral Nutrition Feeding

In enteral feeding, it is important to calculate patient’s daily and cumulative energy balance, as it helps doctor plan the feeding routing according to the need of patient and decrease the morbidity and mortality risk among the patients. It is also essential to maintain the nutrient supply after discharge. There is no proper technology or equipment available for calculating the patient’s daily and cumulative energy balance. Researchers are now focusing on the use of artificial intelligence (AI) and prediction algorithms for the development of technology that can be used to handle caloric and protein deficit and monitor the energy balance. The next generation technology for enteral nutrition feeding can be used to create communication between ICU and post-ICU discharge units to understand the nutrition regime and predictive deficit. Hospital food left uneaten by patients can be analyzed to evaluate the energy, and protein and vitamins deficits. Similar approach could overcome the deficits in the post ICU period. The implementation of next generation technology-based tools in the critical stage could help to ensure that a patient's nutritional plan and goals are constantly measured, monitored, and achieved. In addition, wearable data could be integrated with Electronic Health Record (EHR) data, including data from sensors continuously measuring physical activity and glucose level. The growing fields of metabolomics and proteomics hold the potential to assess nutritional status, set appropriate adjustments of the nutrient mix, and monitor progress through various stages of illness. Therefore, the use of AI, prediction analytics, metabolomics and proteomics, and many next generation technologies in enteral medical nutrition for proper feeding routine is expected to create lucrative growth opportunities for the enteral medical nutrition market during the forecast period.
