Case study
In this case study, Jennifer Robison, Specialist Adult and Paediatric Cystic Fibrosis
Dietitian at Lewisham Hospital* in London, UK discusses the challenges in providing
detailed nutrition information to cystic fibrosis patients and outlines why Lewisham
Hospital has benefited from their partnership with Nutritics.
Executive summary
Lewisham Hospital is focused on developing a culture of high performance and
complete patient satisfaction. Their previous nutrition analysis software lacked details
on foods and the team were increasingly spending a significant amount of time
inputting the nutritional values for missing foods manually.
They required a modern solution with a larger food database that could easily integrate
with the hospital’s existing IT systems. They chose Nutritics due to the range of
functionality, large up-to-date food databases, portion size pictures and ease of use of
the product. The team feel they can trust both the information provided and the
Nutritics team behind it.
,In-depth nutrition analysis
Jennifer regularly completes in-depth nutrition analysis with her patients, asking them
to track consumption for seven days. Being able to identify exactly what her patients

The food search was increasingly lacking current foods, so I would eventually enter
food products myself. They didn’t even have such things as blueberries,” Jennifer
recalls. Analysing hundreds of food diaries became increasingly more tedious and

The Hospital conducted a comprehensive review of the market to find a suitable
replacement. After trialling various software options, they quickly acknowledged that
Nutritics was the leading solution available to meet their needs. “Nutritics has
everything and keeps increasing its range of features. Generally, it’s much, much
better and more up-to-date than things we used in the past.” In addition, Nutritics
