- Registration Number
- NCT04738682
- Lead Sponsor
- University of Copenhagen
- Brief Summary
Study aims to investigate whether dietary registration can be performed with greater precision using digital registration units (mobile devices), rather than conventional paper based dietary registers.
Study intervention is based in the M3 rehabilitation unit, as part of Hobro hospital. The intervention will proceed until 6 full-day dietary registrations have been collected per patient (40 patients total), 3 for each registration method. The estimated time requirement is 30 days.
- Detailed Description
Study aims to investigate whether dietary registration can be performed with greater precision using digital registration units (mobile devices), rather than conventional paper based dietary registers.
These mobile devices have been equipped with a dietary registration app, developed by the company Movesca ApS, specializing in digital healthcare solutions.
Nurses, and other relevant staff members at the M3 rehabilitation unit at Hobro hospital, will be testing this alternative registration method, as they engage in their day-to-day dietary registration for in-house patients. The data collection requires 6 full-day dietary registrations from each individual patient (40 patients in total). Of these 6 registrations, 3 will be gathered using mobile devices and 3 using conventional paper based registers.
The study primary endpoint is precision. The golden standard is dietary recall. The two methods will be assessed in accordance with their uniformity to the dietary recalls, which will be performed by the investigators following the meals.
As a preemptive measure, an internal retrospective audit was performed, with dietary registration as the objective. This audit was completed to retrieve baseline data on dietary registration, and determine whether the rehabilitation unit conforms to the regulations set by the region.

Group Intervention Description Group 2 - (Conventional -> Digital) Conventional dietary registration Patients allocated to Group 2 - (Conventional -\> Digital) will undergo the exact opposite sequence, commencing with three days of conventional dietary registration, using pen and paper, followed by three days of digital dietary registration, using mobile devices. Group 2 - (Conventional -> Digital) Digital dietary registration Patients allocated to Group 2 - (Conventional -\> Digital) will undergo the exact opposite sequence, commencing with three days of conventional dietary registration, using pen and paper, followed by three days of digital dietary registration, using mobile devices. Group 1 (Digital -> Conventional) Conventional dietary registration Patients allocated to Group 1 (Digital -\> Conventional) will undergo three days of digital dietary registration, using mobile devices, followed by three days of conventional dietary registration, using pen and paper. Group 1 (Digital -> Conventional) Digital dietary registration Patients allocated to Group 1 (Digital -\> Conventional) will undergo three days of digital dietary registration, using mobile devices, followed by three days of conventional dietary registration, using pen and paper.
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Registered total kJ ingested compared to total kJ registered using golden standard 4 weeks Does digital dietary registration yield greater precision than conventional paper based registration, in regards to total kJ?
Registered total protein ingested compared to total protein registered using golden standard 4 weeks Does digital dietary registration yield greater precision than conventional paper based registration, in regards to protein intake?
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Is an adequate consumption of kJ (>75% of estimated kJ) achieved in fewer days with the digital dietary registration, than the conventional dietary registration 4 weeks Do patients reach a stable nutritional state faster when exposed to digital dietary registration, compared to conventional paper based registration? Stable nutritional state is defined as consuming \>75% of estimated kJ need per day. Tracked by comparing the registered consumed kJ of the day, with the estimated daily need
Is an adequate consumption of protein (>75% of estimated protein) achieved in fewer days with the digital dietary registration, than the conventional dietary registration 4 weeks Do patients reach a stable nutritional state faster when exposed to digital dietary registration, compared to conventional paper based registration? Stable nutritional state is defined as consuming \>75% of estimated protein need per day. Tracked by comparing the registered consumed protein of the day, with the estimated daily need
