Remote nutrition counseling : considerations in a new channel for client communication / Karen Stein

Whether a nutrition and dietetics practitioner is interested in providing remote nutrition counseling with existing clients and patients, filling a gap in consumer education, or seeking employment with a health app developer, this sector represents a wellspring of practice opportunity. This boom in additional options for dietetics practice shouldn't come as a surprise, however--in fact, in 2012, personalizing delivery of care via use of technology for nutrition counseling was identified by the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics' Dietetics Workforce Demand Task Force as a future driver of change in the dietetics field. The Task Force specifically highlighted technological advancements that would allow nutrition and dietetics practitioners to interact with patients virtually--a new opportunity that has quickly grown, along with the ever-expanding mobile health app market, into the emerging practice area of remote nutrition counseling. Stein talks about remote nutrition counseling.
