Frost & Sullivan Honors GNFFrost & Sullivan Honors GNF Technologies for Addressing Unmet Need of Patient Nutrition Monitoring PR Newswire MOUNTAIN VIEW, California, Jan. 20, 2014 -- NAT is a potential game-changer in the patient nutrition space due to its ability to impact patient outcomes, hospital stay and cost-containment initiatives Based on its recent analysis of the patient nutrition market, Frost & Sullivan recognizes GNF Technologies with the 2013 North America Frost & Sullivan Award for New Product Innovation for its Nutrition Advanced Technology (NAT) solution. This tool provides medical staff with up-to-the- minute records of patients' nutrition intake, which allows caregivers to remedy any interruptions in feeding. NAT addresses three unmet needs in the market: monitoring and documenting patient nutrition information; providing near-real time and historical patient data based on personalized nutrition logs; and recording food intake while simultaneously comparing it with calculated nutritional goals. This nutrition data will serve as an additional source of information that will help doctors better understand the disease and patient behavior. NAT technology also plugs the gaps that exist in the current enteral pump designs, which prevent them from consistently delivering the prescribed amounts of food.
