First seen Jun 14, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 14, 2026

Summary

This pilot study tested whether a personalized nutrition plan (called SeND Home) is practical for older adults (60+) recovering from a traumatic injury. 40 participants were randomly assigned to receive either the personalized plan (including nutrition shakes up to 3 times daily in the hospital and for 4 weeks after discharge) or standard care. The main goal was to see if the plan was feasible, not to measure health outcomes.
