DietMatePro is a comprehensive system for monitoring patients or study participants who are making dietary changes
by integrating Palm and Web technologies. DietMatePro allows researchers and clinicians to assign dietary regimens
modeled after evidence-based diets (e.g. DASH) or create individualized treatment plans. Alternatively, DietMatePro
can be used to monitor dietary intake without providing specific dietary recommendations.
DietMatePro uses a Palm device for recording dietary intakes, which facilitates real-time documentation of food intake
thus reducing the errors associated with retrospective self-reports. Data can be reviewed as a listing of portion sizes
and foods or summarized by nutrients. It can then be analyzed using graphical reports or downloaded for export into
statistical packages. The date and time stamp of every record further encourages accurate recording. Read More >

FoodPortions.com is a website designed to assist dieters or anyone else who wants to track food intake to correctly estimate portion sizes. Today, more than half of adults in the U.S. are considered overweight. Although there are many weight loss systems based on the type of foods you eat (e.g., low fat, low carbohydrate, high protein), the amount you eat is more likely to have an effect on weight control than what you eat. Portion sizes in America are typically much larger than standard serving sizes, and most Americans tend to underestimate the amount of food they eat.
FoodPortions.com was designed to provide the tools you need to learn how to accurately estimate food portions. In addition to Weight control, accurate portion estimation is important for anyone monitoring and managing food intake, whether for a medical condition or for research purposes. Dietitians and nutritionists can use FoodPortions.com to help their clients learn about portion sizes and improve their ability to estimate portion size for various foods. FoodPortions.com has three sections: a Food Portion Tutorial, a Food Portion IQ Test, and a Reference Library. Read More > |

CERTAS is a fully integrated electronic data capture (EDC) system that collects data directly from patients & study participants,
utilizing electronic patient diaries (eDiares), wireless technology & interactive voice response (IVR). The EDC is part of a
complete study management system that makes real-time data available both at the desktop and on the web. Components of
the system include researcher-configurable questionnaires, wireless data collection and retrieval, device alerting capabilities
and participant data management.
CERTAS’ researcher-configurable questionnaire module eliminates the need for programmers resulting in time and cost savings. The use of EDC and eDiaries results in improved data accuracy and integrity by reducing the transcription errors and retrospective reporting associated
with paper-based diaries. The ease of real-time recording of eDiaries improves participant adherence. The data is available for real-time online use by
sites and sponsors through wireless web synchronization to manage research trials and to monitor the progress of a trial. Read More > |
