Foodsmart Named Finalist in Fierce Innovation Awards — Healthcare Edition 2024
We’re proud to share that we have been recognized as a finalist in the Fierce Innovation Awards — Healthcare Edition 2024 in the Digital/Mobile Health Solutions category! This recognition highlights our commitment to addressing food insecurity and chronic health conditions through our foodcare platform, designed to create lasting, positive health outcomes across the U.S.
With 33.8 million people in the U.S. lacking access to nutritious food, we’re on a mission to address this critical challenge. Our work comes at a pivotal time, as the nation faces:
-
Widespread food insecurity, exacerbated by racial and economic disparities
-
Lingering effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on health and nutrition
-
Rising inflation impacting food affordability
-
The climate crisis further straining our food systems
We’re working to change this narrative by combining telenutrition services with accessible food ordering options through our FoodsMART program. By partnering with major grocery providers like Walmart, Amazon, and Instacart, we’re committed to helping users overcome physical and financial barriers to accessing healthy food. Our platform also offers personalized meal planning, discounts on groceries, SNAP enrollment assistance, and access to medically tailored meals. Our approach delivers measurable results:
-
55% of Medicaid members with obesity lost over 5% of their weight within 12 months
-
42% of food-insecure individuals became food-secure within six months
-
34% average savings on grocery costs
“This recognition is a testament to our mission of making healthy food accessible to all and demonstrates the power of nutrition in driving positive health outcomes. We’re proud to see our impact recognized, and we remain committed to improving health outcomes for millions of Americans.” - Jason Langheier, CEO and founder, Foodsmart.
