Viocare and Lambent Data Announce Partnership, including Receiving Grant to Improve Food Security in New Jersey
December 18, 2023
Viocare, Inc. and Lambent Data, Inc. have announced that the New Jersey Commission on Science, Innovation and Technology (“CSIT”) has awarded a grant for the proposal on which Viocare and Lambent partnered to improve food security.
Through this grant, Viocare and Lambent will further develop technology that 1) assists low-income families to thrive by addressing nutrition and social drivers of food insecurity and 2) supports social service and healthcare practitioners in helping these families flourish.
Viocare and Lambent have developed a strategic partnership that includes this work in NJ and extends elsewhere in the U.S.
In this project, Viocare and Lambent will further develop and integrate the following components: 1) Viocare’s experience in building evidence-based nutritional assessments licensed by world-leading hospitals, universities, and other institutions, 2) Updating of Viocare’s Living Well Navigator (LWN) technology to incorporate newly available technologies, 3) Assessments related to Social Drivers of Health (SDoHs), and 4) Lambent's OurREACH™ HIPAA-compliant collaborative platform and app, with data analytics and AI, which offers robust milestones, goals, integrated resources, and communication features regarding health and SDoHs.
“CSIT is pleased to support the work of Viocare through the Food and Agriculture R&D Pilot Grant Program. Their innovative approach and partnership with Lambent Data in implementing new technologies, including AI, addresses the food security needs of communities across the state resulting in increased access to nutritious foods. Providing R&D Seed Grants to businesses in critical sectors is both beneficial to the individual entities and important to the strength of NJ’s overall innovation economy,” said Judith Sheft, Executive Director, NJ Commission on Science, Innovation and Technology.
