Introducing the Vietnamese Nutrition app at the rally launching National Health Day.

Associate Professor, Dr. Tran Thanh Duong, Director of the Institute of Nutrition ( Ministry of Health ), VNeNUTRITION is a smart nutrition application for the community on a mobile platform. It's not just a technological tool, but also the result of digitizing a wealth of authoritative scientific data on nutrition in Vietnam, bringing professional recommendations closer to the meals of individuals and Vietnamese families.

The application was developed with the following goals: to provide a reliable, scientifically-backed source of nutritional information; to support people in self-assessing their nutritional status and practicing healthy eating habits; to establish a digital nutritional data platform for management and policy planning; and to promote digital transformation in the fields of nutrition and preventive medicine .

VNeNUTRITION is designed to be user-friendly and easy to use, with many modern functions, including: comprehensive, fast, and accurate nutrition lookup; assessment of individual nutritional status; calculation and lookup of recommended nutritional requirements; personalized nutrition counseling; and application of artificial intelligence (AI) in nutrition activities…

A key feature of VNeNUTRITION is its full integration of national standard nutritional data systems, including: recommended nutritional requirements for Vietnamese people; the Vietnamese food nutritional composition table; the balanced nutrition pyramid; data on the nutritional composition of Vietnamese dishes; and 10 tips for a balanced diet. This integration ensures that all information provided on the application is scientifically based, standardized, and consistent with national policies.

More than just an application for citizens, VNeNUTRITION is also part of the national digital nutrition ecosystem, playing the role of: collecting anonymous community nutrition data; analyzing eating behavior trends; supporting scientific research; and providing data for policy planning. This is an important step towards building a national nutrition data infrastructure, serving long-term preventive health care in Vietnam.

This Vietnamese Nutrition app will bring many practical benefits. For the community, it contributes to raising awareness about nutritional issues, thereby changing eating behaviors towards healthier ones, bringing optimal nutritional status and health to each individual and the entire community.

For the healthcare system, VNeNUTRITION actively supports nutrition education and communication, improving the effectiveness of managing and monitoring community nutrition indicators.

In terms of policy, VNeNUTRITION provides data for policy planning on nutrition and food; and supports the development of national nutrition programs. VNeNUTRITION also promotes the application of digital technology in preventive medicine, gradually forming a national-scale nutrition and food data platform.

In the coming period, the National Institute of Nutrition will build information channels to receive feedback from users and experts, in order to further improve and develop the VNeNUTRITION application in a smart way that closely matches the actual needs of users.
