CHALLENGE

Creating nutritious plant-based meals for vulnerable patients can be challenging for food professionals.

TECHNOLOGY

Digital tool that integrates protein-quality and environmental-impact data to support sustainable, nutritionally adequate meal planning

POTENTIAL

Accelerate healthy protein transition by equipping dietitians and chefs with tools to implement plant-rich menus

Goal

The project aims to develop and implement an AI-driven recommender system that helps dietitians and chefs optimise protein quality and meal composition. By supporting the development of plant-based meals that are nutritionally adequate, palatable and sustainable, the system will help healthcare institutions in Denmark and the Netherlands improve meal quality for vulnerable groups, including patients and older adults


Plan

The three-year project will develop, test and refine the AI-driven recommender system in close collaboration with chefs and dietitians. An initial version will be tested in a pilot usability study, followed by further development based on user feedback and a large-scale evaluation. The project will also expand and continuously update the protein-quality database, integrate environmental-impact data and link Danish and Dutch databases. In parallel, an accredited online training module will be developed for chefs and dietitians, tailored to both Danish and Dutch contexts.


Expected results

The project will deliver a validated AI-driven recommender system that supports chefs and dietitians in creating healthier, more sustainable and plant-rich menus for healthcare settings. Training materials and evidence-based publications will support the uptake of the solution and strengthen professionals’ knowledge and confidence. Ultimately, the project aims to accelerate the transition towards healthy, plant-rich diets without compromising nutritional or gastronomic quality.
