Decision support system (DSS) combines data from stakeholders, users, patients, doctors, healthcare professionals to provide users a complete view of the particular system.

DSS can be a tool for the researcher, policymakers that describe global, regional, and national food systems. Nutrition DSS brings together extant data from users and other sources to help policymakers understand their dietary patterns, dietary requirement, which also identify the solution and decide which ones need to be addressed. 

It can play a significant role, not only at the user level but also at the policymakers level. Such dashboards can be helpful to track the progress to see if policies or other interventions are working. It can be designed to provide data-driven solutions too. In recent years, researchers from public health nutrition backgrounds have used dashboards to track the ongoing interventions.

To our knowledge, Dr. Joshi’s DIETDSS is the first dashboard that collected data of diabetic patients in Himachal Pradesh and provided daily message alerts to maintain their sugar levels.

Let us know about the ideas of what kind of DSS you would like to make and what feature you would like to provide to users or policymakers?

Also, do you think it can become the solution to the nutrition problem in India? If yes, how?

Nutrition plays an an important role  in person life and its Management plays a vital role so i would like to make DSS that helps me  in increasing crop production, soil upgradation and increase in profitability for farmers in different situations as India is a land of diversity  so the farmer using DSS can  gets an advice for fertiliser application based on the information provided for soil test values, crop to be grown, variety of that crop, sowing season, soil type and targeted yield (within a particular range) on the basis of location such as zone or district and also provide values like available nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and the soil pH so that one can know which crop will yield best and one can earn profit  and one can see abnormal growth as seen through deficiency symptoms shown by the crop one can also analyse water management, weed, pest and disease management and varieties recommendation so to yield better quality of crops  and according to me yes it can become a better solution as Indian clinicians and epidemiologists have defined the magnitude of dual nutrition burden in India, shown that under-nutrition and over-nutrition occur in same family, the same individual at different periods of life or even at the same time .In India with one sixth of the global population accounts for nearly 40% of global LBW infants Low maternal pre-pregnancy weight, low pregnancy weight gain, anaemia have been the major factors responsible for low birth weight in India and Low maternal pre-pregnancy weight, low pregnancy weight gain, anaemia have been the major factors responsible for low birth weight in India t poor infant and young child feeding and caring practices are the major factors responsible for the steep increase in underweight and stunting between 0-23 months. prevalence of undernutrition is highest among preschool children. Indian children are shorter as compared to their developed country counter parts and therefore they weigh less. They get classified as undernourished by weight for age index even though they have appropriate weight for their heigh and  DIET DSS is very to easy to use by the people and it makes easy to plan a diet and to count the nutrients it helps to all the dietitian nutritionist and to the children it will be successful in upcoming days and it will be used by all so we can reduce such parameters and are easily manageable  if a person eats healthy well balanced diet and DSS can keep a track on this
