Michael Phillips Moskowitz, Founder/CEO of AeBeZe Labs and Moodrise, on the topic of 'Digital Nutrition' at IFAH held at Le Meridien, Dubai on 16th - 18th December, 2019.
Obesity is caused by many interrelated factors including flaws in nutritional education and healthcare, genetics, socioeconomic status, unhealthy habits developed in childhood, lack of access to healthy foods, large portion sizes, and sedentary lifestyles. Key stakeholders in obesity include food producers, marketers, consumers, and healthcare providers. Preventing and reducing obesity will require addressing all of these causes on individual, community and policy levels.
Smart recipes and the future of personalized nutrition
- Personalized nutrition depends on recipes and guidance, both intelligently adjusted to the individual needs of the consumers
- NLP, AI, Chatbots are already capable today to adjust recipes fully automated to the specific needs of consumers (Needs, such as vegan diet, 4-person household, allergic requirements or microbiome demands)
- Recipes are the essential success factor for fulfilling the demands of personalized nutrition profiles. They are providing a substantially stronger lever in improving nutritional demands than other testing and tracking applications. Interactive chatbot dialogues are guiding consumers through the process while generating relevant datapoints
- Understanding personalized nutrition will provide essential insights into uncovering unfulfilled needs in the market place. Addressing those drives a new perspective on product and service innovation
The document discusses the ketogenic diet, which is a high-fat, low-carbohydrate diet used to treat intractable epilepsy. It aims to decrease seizures by putting the body into a state of ketosis. The diet has shown to be effective in reducing seizures in 38% of patients after 3 months compared to 6% of control patients. It can be implemented as a classical 4:1 or 3:1 ratio diet, or as a medium chain triglyceride diet, with no difference in efficacy between the two. Strict monitoring of growth, blood tests, seizures and ketone levels is needed when a patient is on the ketogenic diet.
- The document discusses obesity and McDonald's role. It provides background on McDonald's history and size. It also discusses the link between fast food and rising obesity rates, especially among children. Governments and health advocates have pressured McDonald's to make changes.
- McDonald's has responded by adding healthier options to menus in some countries and using campaigns with characters like Ronald McDonald to promote nutrition and exercise. However, critics still argue fast food advertising targeting children and large portions contribute to obesity. Ongoing debate exists around regulating fast food marketing and addressing obesity worldwide.
Easy to digest information on the importance of hydration in sport, the physiological effects of dehydration on performance, the role of sports drinks as an ergogenic aid!
The document discusses energy balance and factors that influence total daily energy expenditure and intake. It explains that energy balance occurs when energy intake equals energy expenditure, and that a positive or negative balance can affect body weight over time. It also outlines the components of total daily energy expenditure, including basal metabolic rate, physical activity, and the thermic effect of food. Key factors that can influence each of these components are described.
Artificial sweeteners are approved sugar substitutes that provide sweetness without calories. While they are beneficial for managing blood sugar levels in diabetic patients, studies show artificial sweeteners may increase obesity risk and type 2 diabetes incidence in non-diabetic individuals by not curbing sweet cravings as effectively as sugars. The document discusses various artificial sweeteners approved by the FDA like aspartame, acesulfame potassium, and saccharin, and their properties, effects on blood sugar levels, and implications for diabetes and weight management.
This document discusses several topics related to brain health and disease. It provides information on brain facts such as weight and calorie/oxygen consumption. It then discusses Parkinson's disease and links it to toxicities like pesticides and deficiencies like decreased folate. Folate deficiency is specifically linked to increased vulnerability of dopamine neurons. The document also discusses various medications that can cause toxicity and deficiencies leading to conditions like dementia. Overall, it emphasizes the importance of nutrition, avoiding toxins, and considers alternative perspectives on conditions like hypertension.

This document discusses lactogogues, which are foods or medications that can increase milk production in lactating mothers. It begins by defining lactation and lactose insufficiency. It then describes various types of lactogogues, including the synthetic medications metoclopramide and domperidone, and herbal options like fenugreek, alfalfa, shatavari, and fennel. The document provides details on how these lactogogues work and their potential side effects. It concludes by summarizing a survey that found the most commonly used lactogogues were lactation cookies, brewer's yeast, and fenugreek, and that domperidone had the highest rate of reported
This document discusses childhood obesity as a global health concern. It provides information on what BMI is and how it is used to diagnose obesity in children. It describes the various health effects of childhood obesity, including psychological effects, cardiovascular issues, metabolic disorders and others. It discusses factors that contribute to childhood obesity such as genetics, diet, physical inactivity, and social determinants. Prevention strategies mentioned include improving access to healthy foods, increasing physical activity and making changes to the home and school environments.
The document discusses various performance enhancing substances and methods used by athletes both historically and currently. It describes substances that improve performance like anabolic agents and EPO but also lists serious health side effects. It notes that prior to the 1960s, doping was common due to a lack of testing but that groups like the IOC have since worked to establish banned substance lists and anti-doping initiatives in response to deaths. Both personal and environmental reasons are discussed for why some athletes still resort to illegal performance enhancement despite the health risks and potential penalties.
Dietary Guidelines (For the Real World!)Food Insight
With the release of the 2015-2020 Dietary Guidelines for Americans, a lot of attention is placed on nutrition and how we’re all supposed to be eating. It’s easy for eating right to feel complicated (especially in the form of a 400 page report!), but we’ve got good news: it isn’t. To show how it’s done, five FoodInsight writers (both RDs and non-RDs) took on eating by the dietary guidelines for the week. See how they did it, what they thought was the hardest and how you can steal their approaches!
Diet and Nutrition - Prevention of Chronic DiseasesGreenFacts
Diet plays a major role in chronic disease prevention. The document summarizes how diets are changing globally to incorporate more animal fats and sugars. Various chronic diseases like obesity, diabetes and heart disease are linked to diet, with excessive weight gain and physical inactivity increasing risks. Recommendations include consuming at least 400g of fruits and vegetables daily, limiting fat and sugar intake, and engaging in moderate physical activity to help prevent chronic diseases and promote overall health.
This document provides an overview of nutrition for sports and exercise. It covers types of exercise like aerobic and anaerobic activity. It discusses the benefits of both aerobic and anaerobic exercise. It also outlines the different energy sources used during physical activity like phosphagens, carbohydrates, and fat. Specific topics covered include carbohydrate loading, fluid needs, protein requirements, and vitamins/minerals for athletes.
This document provides guidelines for eating and managing diabetes, including recommendations around carbohydrate, protein, fat, and alcohol intake. The key points are:
- Carbohydrate intake affects blood glucose levels the most, so it's important to consistently consume carbohydrates and match insulin doses to carbohydrate amounts.
- Fiber intake of 20-35 grams per day from whole grains, fruits, and vegetables is encouraged.
- Saturated and trans fats should be limited to lower LDL cholesterol and risk of heart disease. Monounsaturated fats are recommended instead.
- Small amounts of weight loss through a structured program including reduced calories and regular physical activity can improve diabetes management and health outcomes.

The document summarizes the key points of the Third Report of the National Cholesterol Education Program Expert Panel, known as Adult Treatment Panel III (ATP III). ATP III builds on previous reports by expanding recommendations for intensive cholesterol-lowering therapy based on recent clinical evidence. It outlines guidelines for assessing cardiovascular risk, determining treatment approaches based on risk level, using therapeutic lifestyle changes and drug therapy to achieve LDL cholesterol goals, and managing other lipid and non-lipid risk factors. The report provides an evidence-based approach for clinical management of high blood cholesterol.
Seasonal Foods and Its impact on Health Research Thesis by Daud ShahSamiullah Hamdard
This document summarizes the seasonal foods and food habits of villagers in Mandani,
Charsadda. It discusses how villagers' diets vary with the seasons, with different vegetables,
meats, and drinks available and consumed in summer, autumn, and spring. The document also
explores how seasonal foods impact health, with foods in season being fresher, more nutritious,
and cheaper than out-of-season imports that require chemical treatments. The researcher aims to
understand the social, cultural, and economic reasons for the villagers' food habits and the
relationship between their diets and common diseases through interviews and observations.

Mental illnesses are highly prevalent worldwide but most countries allocate less than 2% of their health budgets to mental health. Effective and low-cost treatments are available but there is a treatment gap of over 75% in many low- and middle-income countries. Investing in mental health is important for several reasons: the burden of mental illness is huge and costs societies enormous amounts, mental health is essential for economic development, and some interventions have been shown to be highly cost-effective "best buys" that can reduce future health costs. Without adequate investment in mental health services and supports, individuals and societies cannot reach their full potential.

This document discusses expanding the concept of youth mental health and access to services in low- and middle-income countries. It notes that up to 12% of youth have mental health issues like depression or anxiety. However, there are few specialized professionals to treat youth mental health issues. Instead of waiting to develop more specialized resources, the document argues that existing resources should be leveraged, like training teachers, parents, and utilizing peer support networks among youth to promote mental health awareness and help-seeking behaviors. With millions of youth, teachers, and parents that could be engaged, this approach could reach more people and promote well-being until specialized resources can be further developed.

DOES MEDIA REFLECT CULTURE OR DOES IT CREATE CULTURE?
Both media and culture are connected and they are inseparable. Various levels of understanding influence the contents of the media; on the other hand, platforms and contents of the media have a big impact on the day to day and cultural practices. One of the practices influenced by the media is the health-related decisions of individuals (Georgiou, 2017). Therefore, media has measurable effects which come as a result of the messages given by the media. We can, therefore, say that media both reflects society and shapes the culture.
Media reflect culture
Taking legacy media for instance, for a magazine dealing with fashion, in determining what ladies should and should not dress, they need first of all to mirror the present-day society so that they will be able to establish what the women want. Without doing this, the magazine will be nothing than common sense within a typical mind of the woman. This, therefore, means that the media has to establish certain things to do or not do which means they are reflecting the society (Berger, 2017).
Secondly, Legacy media depend more on society than society depends on them. Even if without the mass media the society would struggle getting news broadcast and entertainment, the society will still be alive but without the society, the media will not be there. They, therefore, have to reflect what the culture of the society wants.
For instance, there is this radio show which conducted a publicity stunt which shocked the audience, what followed was unanimous public reactions of condemnation from the public. The culprits engineered the stunt which was to push the boundaries of acceptable decency, but the reactions of condemnation caught them by surprise. This is simply because they failed to realize that society is much more conservative than they expected. The stunt itself as something of a mirror, but the society did not like what they saw. They believed that the stunt crossed the lie and the society cried out. The line that marks out the acceptable and unacceptable things is still clear to society, and the media just reflects it.
Media create culture
In another sense, the media pushes the boundaries of values, therefore, contributing to the shaping of the culture. The media is capable of controlling a whole nation if the media barons or political parties manipulate it (Fiske, & Hancock, 2016). The media sometimes cannot be trusted in giving out facts without slanting them in one specific direction of interpretation. The reporting offered is based on some hid.

This guide covers all the preliminary steps needed to lay a strong foundation for your research.
This lays foundation of scoping research project what are the
Before embarking on a research project, especially one aimed at scoping and defining parameters like the one described for health tech IT, several crucial considerations should be addressed. Here’s a comprehensive guide covering key aspects to ensure a well-structured and successful research initiative:
1. Define Research Objectives and Scope
Clear Objectives: Define specific goals such as understanding market needs, identifying new opportunities, assessing risks, or refining pricing strategies.
Scope Definition: Clearly outline the boundaries of the research in terms of geographical focus, target demographics (e.g., age, socio-economic status), and industry sectors (e.g., healthcare IT).
3. Review Existing Literature and Resources
Literature Review: Conduct a thorough review of existing research, market reports, and relevant literature to build foundational knowledge.
Gap Analysis: Identify gaps in existing knowledge or areas where further exploration is needed.
4. Select Research Methodology and Tools
Methodological Approach: Choose appropriate research methods such as surveys, interviews, focus groups, or data analytics.
Tools and Resources: Select tools like Google Forms for surveys, analytics platforms (e.g., SimilarWeb, Statista), and expert consultations.
5. Ethical Considerations and Compliance
Ethical Approval: Ensure compliance with ethical guidelines for research involving human subjects.
Data Privacy: Implement measures to protect participant confidentiality and adhere to data protection regulations (e.g., GDPR, HIPAA).
6. Budget and Resource Allocation
Resource Planning: Allocate resources including time, budget, and personnel required for each phase of the research.
Contingency Planning: Anticipate and plan for unforeseen challenges or adjustments to the research plan.
7. Develop Research Instruments
Survey Design: Create well-structured surveys using tools like Google Forms to gather quantitative data.
Interview and Focus Group Guides: Prepare detailed scripts and discussion points for qualitative data collection.
8. Sampling Strategy
Sampling Design: Define the sampling frame, size, and method (e.g., random sampling, stratified sampling) to ensure representation of target demographics.
Participant Recruitment: Plan recruitment strategies to reach and engage the intended participant groups effectively.
9. Data Collection and Analysis Plan
Data Collection: Implement methods for data gathering, ensuring consistency and validity.
Analysis Techniques: Decide on analytical approaches (e.g., statistical
The Ultimate Guide in Setting Up Market Research System in Health-TechGokul Rangarajan
How to effectively start market research in the health tech industry by defining objectives, crafting problem statements, selecting methods, identifying data collection sources, and setting clear timelines. This guide covers all the preliminary steps needed to lay a strong foundation for your research.
"Market Research it too text-booky, I am in the market for a decade, I am living research book" this is what the founder I met on the event claimed, few of my colleagues rolled their eyes. Its true that one cannot over look the real life experience, but one cannot out beat structured gold mine of market research.
Many 0 to 1 startup founders often overlook market research, but this critical step can make or break a venture, especially in health tech.
But Why do they skip it?
Limited resources—time, money, and manpower—are common culprits.
"In fact, a survey by CB Insights found that 42% of startups fail due to no market need, which is like building a spaceship to Mars only to realise you forgot the fuel."
Sudharsan Srinivasan
Operational Partner Pitchworks VC Studio
Overconfidence in their product’s success leads founders to assume it will naturally find its market, especially in health tech where patient needs, entire system issues and regulatory requirements are as complex as trying to perform brain surgery with a butter knife. Additionally, the pressure to launch quickly and the belief in their own intuition further contribute to this oversight. Yet, thorough market research in health tech could be the key to transforming a startup's vision into a life-saving reality, instead of a medical mishap waiting to happen.
Example of Market Research working
Innovaccer, founded by Abhinav Shashank in 2014, focuses on improving healthcare delivery through data-driven insights and interoperability solutions. Before launching their platform, Innovaccer conducted extensive market research to understand the challenges faced by healthcare organizations and the potential for innovation in healthcare IT.
Identifying Pain Points: Innovaccer surveyed healthcare providers to understand their difficulties with data integration, care coordination, and patient engagement. They found widespread frustration with siloed systems and inefficient workflows.
Competitive Analysis: Analyzed competitors offering similar solutions in healthcare analytics and interoperability. Identified gaps in comprehensive data aggregation, real-time analytics, and actionable insights.
Regulatory Compliance: Ensured their platform complied with HIPAA and other healthcare data privacy regulations. This compliance was crucial to gaining trust from healthcare providers wary of data security issues.
Customer Validation: Conducted pilot programs with several healthcare organizations to validate the platform's effectiveness in improving care outcomes and operational efficiency. Gathered feedback to refine features and user interface.

Sectional dentures for microstomia patients.pptxSatvikaPrasad
Microstomia, characterized by an abnormally small oral aperture, presents significant challenges in prosthodontic treatment, including limited access for examination, difficulties in impression making, and challenges with prosthesis insertion and removal. To manage these issues, customized impression techniques using sectional trays and elastomeric materials are employed. Prostheses may be designed in segments or with flexible materials to facilitate handling. Minimally invasive procedures and the use of digital technologies can enhance patient comfort. Education and training for patients on prosthesis care and maintenance are crucial for compliance. Regular follow-up and a multidisciplinary approach, involving collaboration with other specialists, ensure comprehensive care and improved quality of life for microstomia patients.

37. Moodrise is a consumer experience that can quickly grow revenue
through enterprise contracts with large self-insured employers (SIEs).
GENERATING REVENUE
TODAY
Nike, Inc.
A self-insured employer
with 74,000 employees
On average pays $20.40* per
employee per month for non
serious mental health benefits,
including:
• stress coping education
• psychosocial assessment
• licensed counseling
• employee assistance program
• leadership training
• financial literacy
Comparable Spend
Companies also pay, on average,
$35** per employee per month
for dental benefits.
INSIGHT
Unused Benefits
According to the American
Psychological Association
Benefit go underutilized within
employee plans due to:
• stigma of reaching out (53%)
• length of treatment (59%)
• treatment comprehension (47%)
Self insured employers are paying
for services that few people use
despite need.
60% People’s mental health needs
go untreated every year***
VALUE PROP
Pay for Use
AeBeZe offers employers digital
nutrition for $3 PMPM
Moodrise provides employers with
a mental health management and
intervention benefit for its
employees:
• bundled claims are made every
month for only the employees who
use Moodrise
• the initial contract price is $3
PMPM based on a 25% use rate
• future pricing can be adjusted to
reflect cost containment goals if
employer elects to engage in a
benefit performance assessment
REVENUE
User Bundles
Nike can quickly aggregate
product access and use
With an initial contract price of $3
PMPM and an est. use rate of 25%
(to be confirmed in forthcoming
pilots), Moodrise will generate
(as an example)
2.63 M USD / YR
with the Nike, Inc contract alone.
Nike’s utilization of Moodrise will
not add cost, but compete for the
existing $20.40* PMPM with:
• discreet on-boarding (stigma)
• 90 second e-therapies (duration)
• intuitive user experience
• self-reporting condition mgmt.
• individualized benefit plan
prompts
SCALED REVENUE
Scale User Sales Quickly
Through Employer Contract
If we contract with 174 companies (or 10% of
the self-insured employer market) of similar
size to Nike we will generate
500M USD / YR

1. Sleep market size and forecast
The U.S. sleep market was worth an estimated $28.6 billion in 2017. For 2018, the market grew by 3.3%. And in 2023 it is estimated to rise by another 4.7%. Global sleep industry estimated worth is approximately 76 billion per year.
2. The shifting sleep medications market
The major prescription insomnia drugs market, led by Belsomra, Ambien, and Lunesta, has been declining in value. But are still said to total about $1.4 billion per year. However, the non-prescription or over the counter sleeping pills market, valued at $576 million, is growing faster. This is due to the general public becoming increasingly aware of the extreme negative side effects of prescribed sleep aids such as ambien - which is an extremely powerful sedative with adverse side effects such as amnesia
3. The size of the sleep labs market
There are an estimated 4,700 U.S. sleep centers or labs which perform studies (polysomnograms) to diagnose sleep disorders. The typical lab has revenues of $920,000 and a bed count of about 7-8. Labs are located in hospitals, MD practices, universities, or are independent. This segment was worth $4.3 billion in 2017. There has been consolidation and closures due to reimbursement pressure from competing portable home testing devices approved by Medicare.

@eliza please add a summary of the CMS here–number of articles, examples of journals, etc.
Moodrise app relies on database of more than 10,000 published peer-reviewed scientific articles - coming from high impact journals within the primary literature and world of academia. Our database has been programed to categorize content based on its ability to trigger the release of GABA, dopamine, oxytocin, endorphins, acetylcholine, or serotonin. The initial machine learning phase of this process has been successful which is immensely exciting as we move on to larger and greater content based collaborations with the likes of companies such as … xyz… Sony and Universal Studios.
