Case Study - Bridging Research and Technology to Reach a Wide Audience
Eatvisor is a mobile application designed as a comprehensive dietary assessment and planning tool. Previously known as the Open Platform for Clinical Nutrition, the app serves as a vital link between clinical dietitians, doctors, and their patients, helping users assess and improve their dietary habits through evidence-based recommendations.
A Strategic Partnership for Innovation
In this project we partnered with the Jožef Stefan Institute (IJS) - the largest research institute in Slovenia. This collaboration brought together two distinct areas of expertise: IJS’s deep scientific research in nutrition and our proficiency in modern technology and digital solutions. By merging these strengths, we were able to develop Eatvisor into a user-friendly mobile app, making advanced nutritional research more accessible to a broader audience.
EU Grant Partnership and Research Funding Success
As part of our collaboration, we applied for EU-funded research projects, successfully securing over €150,000 in grants to support the research and development of Eatvisor. Our experience in navigating the EU grant partnership process, from proposal to implementation, positioned us as a reliable EU research funding partner for innovation-driven projects. By securing this funding, we were able to refine the app, implement cutting-edge nutritional science, and bridge the gap between academic research and real-world application.
A Unique and Valuable Collaboration
What makes our partnership with IJS truly unique is our complementary expertise:
- IJS excels in niche, domain-specific nutritional research that would benefit the audience beyond academic circles.
- We specialize in translating complex research into practical, user-friendly applications that can reach and benefit the general public.
By working together, we ensured that the groundbreaking research conducted by IJS was not just published but also meaningfully integrated into a functional, real-world tool that improves dietary habits on a daily basis. Eatvisor serves as a bridge between researchers and end users, demonstrating how scientific insights can be effectively packaged and disseminated to create tangible impact.
