Nutrition & Malnutrition Programme

Why it matters

Nutrition affects maternal, newborn, child, adolescent, chronic-disease, infection, and recovery pathways. WHO nutrition guidance emphasizes growth monitoring, malnutrition classification, micronutrient support, pregnancy nutrition, food-security context, and follow-up across clinic and community care.

InBasket AI keeps this programme pathway connected to one continuous patient record so a small care team can work from a single, trustworthy source of truth — part of expanding access to care for the next billion people.

Designed with reference to recognized global, national, and clinical standards

This care area is designed with reference to a standards ecosystem, including global guidance, national protocols, specialty-society recommendations, interoperability standards, and programme reporting requirements where applicable:

• WHO child growth standards
• WHO/UNICEF MUAC and acute-malnutrition guidance
• UNICEF / WFP community management of acute malnutrition implementation principles where adopted
• National nutrition, anemia, food-security, therapeutic-feeding, and supplementation protocols
• National Ministry of Health standard treatment guidelines, essential medicines lists, and local scope-of-practice rules for the implementation setting
• HL7 FHIR, ICD-10, LOINC, SNOMED CT, and local terminology/coding standards where adopted
• National programme registers, surveillance definitions, DHIS2 or equivalent reporting requirements, and donor-reporting mappings where adopted
