History
The concept of FoodCare was developed by founder Ken Marshall after evaluating dozens of technology companies and market trends in the healthcare, foodservice and consumer mobile technology industries. The FoodCare team recognized there were significant gaps in patient care and there were limited solutions designed to address fundamental nutrition transformation of individuals, families and communities. At the individual level, Marshall developed a concept for delivering personalized nutrition guidance to individuals as they dined in restaurants, shopped for frozen meals or prepared recipes.
