NourishedRx Launches Food Benefits Platform Powered by Google Cloud

Digital food and healthcare company NourishedRx has announced that its new food benefits management platform is live. 

After months of testing and gathering results, the platform now  demonstrates improved health outcomes, member engagement, health plan retention, and reduced medical spend.

NourishedRx, built on Google Cloud, leverages the Google Healthcare API to deliver an  interoperable platform aligned with Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) standards that many payers and health systems use for exchanging healthcare information. 

Google Cloud's technology provides NourishedRx a secure environment to scale, innovate, and leverage data to personalize food solutions to support chronic disease management and address health related social needs. In addition, by using Google Cloud’s Healthcare API to power its food benefits management platform, NourishedRx is ahead of the curve with respect to the latest interoperability standards set by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.

NourishedRx has four different products for members. 

The first is a chronic disease nutrition program, where it provides food and educational services and connects members with community-based services. It also has a health equity program in partnership with Medicaid plans, in which the company focuses on nutrition related to pregnancy. The third product is a food benefit manager, where NourishedRx works with the health plan on their existing benefits and helps them optimize those benefits. Lastly, the company offers a product called A Healthy Dose Delivered. This is in partnership with aging-in-place marketplace healthAlign, and offers members a monthly bundle of food (such as prepared meals, meal kits or grocery items) delivered to their homes.
