AI-Generated Personalized and Practical Diet Planning — Now in Any Indian Language on Nice HMS

As part of our continuous improvements to the Nice HMS Hospital Information Management System (HIMS), we are pleased to introduce a powerful new feature:

AI-generated, personalized, and practical diet plans for patients.

In many hospitals and clinics, diet and lifestyle advice remains one of the most overlooked areas, especially after the patient receives a prescription or discharge summary. With the increasing burden of non-communicable diseases (NCDs)—such as obesity, diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular conditions, and liver/kidney disorders—the need to educate patients about appropriate lifestyle modifications has never been more urgent.

Without proper guidance, patients often feel lost or confused. Many have unanswered questions and misconceptions, which may cause them to overdo or underdo lifestyle changes. If done incorrectly, these changes can result in long-term health consequences, increasing both morbidity and mortality.

How Nice HMS Diet Module Solves This

Recognizing this critical gap, Nice HMS now includes an AI-powered diet planning feature that:

• Analyzes the patient's complete health profile:
  Including age, weight, BMI, diagnosis, and most importantly, daily eating habits and lifestyle routines.

• Recommends practical and realistic diet and exercise plans tailored to each patient.

• Ensures that all suggestions are culturally appropriate, easy to follow, and sustainable.

• Considers socioeconomic background—whether the patient is from an affluent background or works as a daily-wage laborer, the recommendations are designed to be relevant and doable.

Language and Accessibility

All diet and lifestyle recommendations can be generated in any Indian language, making them easily understandable for patients from diverse linguistic and regional backgrounds. This ensures maximum compliance and improved health outcomes.

Goes Beyond Generic Plans

Even in hospitals where dieticians are available, dietary advice is often based on fixed protocols, lacking personalization. Our AI-driven system augments human expertise by introducing individualization and variety into every plan. It also reads all previous health records, ensuring the diet recommendations are scientifically accurate and contextually relevant.

Flexibility for Doctors and Dieticians

While the AI suggests a complete plan, doctors and dieticians have full control:

• They can review and modify the recommended items before finalizing.

• The editable diet plan interface allows professionals to customize according to their clinical judgment.

How to Access the Diet Module

The AI Diet Planner can be accessed in two ways:

1. From the Patient Dashboard

2. From the "My Patients" side panel

Steps to Use:

• Select the patient using UHID

• Click “Diet” to open the Diet Plan Form

• Click “Patient Records” to view all patient history

• Input or update:

  • Weight, Height, Diagnosis

  • Daily routine, food habits, physical activity, and lifestyle

• Choose the desired output language

• Indicate if you want the AI to focus on any specific dietary goals

• Click Submit

The system will take around a minute to generate a detailed 7-day plan, including:

• Meals (Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, Snacks)

• Do's and Don’ts

• Exercise recommendations

Conclusion

With the launch of the AI-based diet planning module, Nice HMS empowers healthcare providers to deliver truly personalized care beyond prescriptions. This innovation bridges the gap between clinical treatment and daily patient lifestyle, helping prevent long-term complications and enhancing overall patient satisfaction.

By making diet plans scientific, customizable, and language-inclusive, we ensure that every patient receives practical, affordable, and culturally appropriate guidance that fits seamlessly into their life. This is more than just a feature—it’s a step toward better, preventive healthcare across India.
