The Challenge

In Israel there are currently about 25,000 girls at risk who suffer from eating disorders. These girls are placed in boarding schools that allow a monitoring process of the eating disorders, which makes it possible to provide them with appropriate treatment. Today there is difficulty in synchronizing their medical and nutritional data among many staff members, which leads to poor treatment, that leads to deterioration of the eating disorder and even forced hospitalization

The Solution

A system for mobile and pc devices that allows the staff members to report in real time on the condition of the girls when they encounter unusual events related to eating disorders, such as avoiding meals or vomiting. Thus, adapting them to the optimal nutritional treatment plan.

The potential social and economic impact, through the implementation of a system that enables early detection of extreme conditions and reduces hospitalization cases, is estimated to save the Israeli economy tens of millions of shekels each year!

Adoption potential of the system in 120 boarding schools throughout Israel
Preventing the girls from being hospitalized translates into savings of about 110 million NIS every year
