However, practice at scale in modern medicine is driven as much by financial as clinical imperatives and yet, the ability to quantify the potential ROI of Food as medicine (FaM) interventions is limited by a lack of data. Utilizing a novel advance in dietary assessment and data from the peer-reviewed literature, we constructed and tested a web-based calculator simulating the return-on-investment associated with FaM interventions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
