NCT ID NCT07183449

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tested a new plate imaging system to measure how much food stroke patients eat in the hospital. Fifty patients on a stroke rehabilitation ward had their meals photographed to estimate calorie and nutrient intake. The goal was to see if this simple, non-invasive method could be used routinely to monitor nutrition and potentially improve recovery.
