    The software features a comprehensive clinical record<\/strong> that, in addition to personal and family anamnesis, allows practitioners to prescribe laboratory tests<\/strong> relevant to the evaluation of the patient\u2019s nutritional status and record their results.
    Out-of-range values are automatically flagged based on official reference ranges.
    Users can monitor lab results over time and create customized diagnostic protocols<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

    Developed in collaboration with leading specialists, the software also includes screening questionnaires<\/strong> for gastrointestinal disorders, neurodegenerative diseases, malnutrition, and cardiovascular risk.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n \r\n<\/section>\r\n\r\n\r\n\n\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

    Anthropometric Data<\/h2>\r\n

    Within the Plicometria Dietosystem software, users can record all circumference, skinfold, and body diameter<\/strong> measurements.<\/p>\n

    Through Frisancho percentiles and harmonization indices, circumference and skinfold data provide an initial qualitative evaluation of protein-energy reserves, lean mass, and body fat distribution.<\/p>\n

    The software also allows entry and tracking of handgrip strength<\/strong> measured with a dynamometer. Combined with validated screening questionnaires, this helps assess sarcopenia risk<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n \r\n<\/section>\r\n\r\n\r\n\n\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

    Somatotype<\/h2>\r\n

    The somatotype<\/strong> function allows a complete morphological and constitutional analysis<\/strong> of the patient.
    The dot\u2019s position on the somatocarta provides a global anthropometric overview, highlighting the balance among endomorphism, mesomorphism, and ectomorphism.<\/p>\n<\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n \r\n<\/section>\r\n\r\n\r\n\n\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

    Body Compartments<\/h2>\r\n

    The software automatically selects the most suitable predictive equation to calculate fat mass (FAT)<\/strong> and fat-free mass (FFM)<\/strong>, as well as basal metabolic rate (BMR)<\/strong>.
    The muscle mass index<\/strong> offers detailed insight into the patient\u2019s nutritional and functional status.<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Dedicated upper and lower artometry sections<\/strong> allow evaluation of muscular and adipose areas of the limbs, with the option to compare data across multiple visits.
    Frisancho percentiles and color-coded indicators make interpretation clear and intuitive.<\/p>\n

    The calculation of visceral and subcutaneous adipose tissue<\/strong> helps assess cardiovascular risk, based on reference data from scientific literature.<\/p>\n<\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n \r\n<\/section>\r\n\r\n\r\n\n\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

    Report<\/h2>\r\n

    The Plicometria Dietosystem report<\/strong> can be customized according to the professional\u2019s and patient\u2019s needs.
    Reports can be printed in summary form<\/strong> or include detailed attachments such as:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Explanations of clinical parameter meanings<\/li>\n
    • Nutritional assessment charts<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      A preview function<\/strong> is available before printing for final review.<\/p>\n<\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n \r\n<\/section>\r\n\r\n\r\n\n\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

      Morfocap<\/h2>\r\n

      This function allows importing and comparing before-and-after images<\/strong> of the patient throughout the follow-up process.
      Images can be aligned, cropped, and superimposed with adjustable transparency to visually highlight body changes over time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n \r\n<\/section>\r\n\r\n\r\n\n\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

      Follow-up<\/h2>\r\n

      The Plicometria Dietosystem software enables simple and immediate patient follow-up<\/strong> through a detailed record of all visits.
      Progress is displayed with color-coded graphs<\/strong> for all main parameters and body composition components.
      Users can customize the history view by selecting the most relevant graphs for each case.<\/p>\n<\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n \r\n<\/section>\r\n\r\n\r\n\n\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

      Connection with the Dietosystem App<\/h2>\r\n

      The Dietosystem App<\/strong> allows nutritionists to connect with their patients via a personal access code.
      Professionals can send reports directly through the app, which the patient receives instantly on their smartphone.
      The patient can communicate with the nutritionist through a message board and chat.<\/p>\n

      Thanks to this function, nutritionists can monitor patient progress efficiently and enhance patient engagement and loyalty with a modern digital tool.<\/p>\n<\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n \r\n<\/section>\r\n\r\n\r\n\n\n\r\n
