Digital diet workshops tested on hospital workers
NCT ID NCT06666296
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested whether digital nutrition workshops and a recipe collection could help hospital employees adopt a more plant-based diet. 64 participants were split into two groups: one received intensive digital training (about 2 hours per week), the other got lighter support (about 30 minutes per week). The goal was to see if these tools could improve eating habits and support a healthier, more sustainable diet.
