The benefits of using Diet ID for MNT assessments include:

Time savings: the average assessment takes 15-30 minutes using standard methods, while Diet ID can be done asynchronously and a comprehensive analysis is provided instantly. This allows you to spend more time reviewing results, conducting motivational interviewing, and guiding your patient or client. 

Comprehensive analysis: Diet ID provides a detailed analysis that includes diet quality score, food group intake, and nutrient intake, as well as goal information. Typically this type of analysis using 24-hour recall assessments or other methods would be done manually.

Standardization: Especially if you are working with mulitple providers or working with a large population, Diet ID provides a standard way to rapidly conduct dietary assessments, making it possible to measure efficiacy of programming and prove value over time.

Examples include cardiac rehab, Diabetes Prevention Programs, and bariatric surgery pre-op. Using Diet ID in to conduct a dietary assessment in these settings saves you time and resources as well as provides you robust data pre and post-program to measure efficiacy of your intervention over time.
