USV Case Study

The Challenge

USV, a trusted partner for doctors and clinics, identified a critical gap in meal planning:

• Many clinics lacked full-time dietitians due to cost constraints, leaving doctors to manage meal planning themselves.
• India’s cultural diversity added complexity, as patients followed traditional practices such as avoiding certain foods on specific days or fasting during festivals.
• Managing conditions like diabetes, kidney disease, or cardiac issues requires precise dietary adjustments, such as reducing carbohydrates or controlling protein intake.

Balancing medical requirements with cultural preferences was time-consuming and impractical for doctors.

The Solution

USV collaborated with Fitterfly to bring the Meal Plan Generator API to clinics. This tool provided:

• Support for 10+ Medical Conditions: Including diabetes, hypertension, thyroid, obesity, coronary artery disease (CAD), cardiovascular disease (CVD), PCOS, and more.
• Dietary Preferences: Options like vegetarian, non-vegetarian, vegan, and vegetarian.
• Regional Cuisine Options: Plans tailored to India’s food culture, including Bengali, Gujarati, North Indian, Rajasthani, and South Indian cuisines.
• Respect for Cultural Practices: Consideration of fasting days, vegetarian-only days, and festival-specific diets.

With these features, USV enabled clinics to provide personalized, practical, and actionable meal plans while reducing the burden on doctors.
