Every plan starts from their profile — swallowing level, age, weight, allergies, dislikes and food preferences — and the menu adapts to safe textures and good nutrition.
Condition-aware
Dysphagia, dementia, diabetes, heart failure, CKD, hypertension and 16 more — each plan is built around the dietary guidance for that condition, and caregivers should review it with the treating clinician.
Allergy & dislike aware
Tell us what to avoid — allergens, disliked foods, texture limits — and the system screens them out of the menu. Caregivers should still review every ingredient label and confirm important restrictions with a clinician or pharmacist.
Age & nutrition needs
Plans account for age, weight and activity to hit the right calories and protein for healthy aging.
Drug–food interaction alerts
If your loved one takes medication — statins, levodopa, blood thinners — the plan highlights foods that may interfere, so you can check with the prescribing doctor or pharmacist.
You don't need to fill out forms alone. Ask NutriHearth in plain words — or just speak — and it answers, explains, and builds the menu for you.
Voice input
Speak your question in English, Chinese, Japanese, Korean or Spanish — the app understands what you say and replies.
Generate the menu for you
Say "my mom has dysphagia (swallowing difficulty) and doesn't like fish" — it fills in the profile and generates a matching 7-day plan automatically.
Explain any meal
Ask "why is this dinner good for her?" — it walks you through the calories, nutrients and the condition-specific reasoning behind each recipe.
Adjust & recommend
Say "swap tomorrow's breakfast" or "suggest something higher in protein" — it revises the plan and recommends alternatives on the spot.
The science behind each plan comes from peer-reviewed literature — not opinion or trends. The dysphagia plan offers IDDSI-informed texture options for texture-modified diets.
Clinical applications of the IDDSI framework (2018)
Describes how IDDSI texture levels are applied in practice for dysphagia patients.
Nutritional applications of therapeutic diets at IDDSI levels (2025)
Investigates balanced therapeutic diets for adults 65+ with dysphagia at different IDDSI levels.
Texture-adapted
Soft, moist and easy-to-swallow textures follow IDDSI levels — safe and comfortable to eat.
Nutrient-dense
Smaller, calorie-dense portions keep nutrition up when swallowing is difficult.
What the science says about Dysphagia (Swallowing Difficulty)
The IDDSI framework provides standardized texture levels for foods and drinks used in dysphagia care. Following IDDSI texture standards helps reduce aspiration risk — research on dietary monitoring in swallowing difficulty supports matching food textures to the person's safe level and monitoring nutritional safety at home.

🍽 Build Your Personalized Meal PlanDo not change food texture or thicken liquids without following the person's prescribed swallowing plan.
What foods are good for someone with dysphagia?
The IDDSI framework standardizes food textures and drink thickness. The appropriate level should be determined by a qualified swallowing professional. Do not change food texture or thicken liquids without following the person's prescribed swallowing plan.
How much does NutriHearth cost?
Start with a one-month free trial. After the trial, a paid subscription ($5/month) is required unless you cancel. We believe nutrition support shouldn't be a burden on caregivers.
Can I use it for other conditions?
Yes — we cover 21+ conditions including type 2 diabetes, hypertension, heart failure, chronic kidney disease (CKD), dysphagia (swallowing difficulty), COPD, Parkinson's, frailty, pressure ulcers and more.
Can I talk to the app instead of filling forms?
Yes. NutriHearth has a built-in AI assistant — type or speak your question (voice works in 5 languages) and it can generate the menu, explain why a meal fits your loved one's condition, and adjust the plan when you ask.
Does the app check food–drug interactions?
Yes. If you list the medications your loved one takes, the plan highlights foods that may interact with them — for example grapefruit with statins, or protein timing with levodopa — so you can raise it with the prescribing doctor or pharmacist.
Can I buy the ingredients directly?
Yes. Every ingredient in your shopping list is matched to a real product page on Amazon or Walmart with live prices — so you can order the whole list without hunting the store.
Is this medical advice?
No. NutriHearth is a nutrition support tool, not a substitute for clinical guidance. Always consult a physician or registered dietitian before making significant dietary changes.
