Patients with metabolic disorders and dietitians.

Metabolic disorders are rare and are caused by the lack of a specific enzyme in the cells. Since 2007, the heel prick test (Guthrie test) is used to screen newborns for 14 different kinds of metabolic disorders. Patients who are diagnosed with a metabolic disorder have the lifelong task of recording exactly which nutrients they have consumed and need to take dietary supplements. This constant keeping track of their diet is very burdensome for most patients.

To provide patients with metabolic disorders a digital tool to help them with the day-to-day management of their stringent diets, as well as to give them insight into the effects of their diet.
