Ensuring Food Safety in Aged Care and Hospitals
A comprehensive food safety software solution for health and aged care facilities
What they needed
How do you ensure food safety and accurate meal planning for residents and patients with complex dietary requirements across multiple healthcare facilities? Manual tracking methods often fell short in effectively managing dietary requirements, lacked real-time communication capabilities, and struggled with maintaining consistent food safety records. Health and aged care facilities needed a solution that could accurately track patient diets, facilitate staff communication, maintain compliance records, and seamlessly integrate with existing clinical care systems—all while remaining intuitive for daily use by clinical and food service staff.
What we delivered
We developed a comprehensive food safety and meal management platform specifically designed for health and aged care facilities. The solution includes an intuitive mobile app for daily staff use, a real-time dashboard for monitoring and alerts, seamless integration with major clinical care software systems, and a TV app for live menu display—creating a complete ecosystem for food safety compliance and efficient meal operations.

Real-Time Kitchen Control on iPad
Kitchen staff manage meal preparation with a centralized iPad app that provides real-time status tracking and workflow management. The interface features large, clear buttons and color-coded status indicators designed for high-pressure kitchen environments, enabling staff to efficiently monitor and manage multiple dishes simultaneously.
Patient Ordering via TV App
Patients order meals directly from their room televisions with an intuitive TV interface that displays meal options in an easy-to-navigate grid format. The system provides real-time menu availability, dietary alternatives, and meal descriptions, empowering patients to make informed choices while streamlining the ordering process for nursing staff.
How we got there
Our team designed SimpleFood with a focus on user experience and practical workflow integration. We created an intuitive mobile interface that clinical and food service staff could use seamlessly without added complexity. The real-time dashboard and alert system enabled continuous monitoring and proactive issue resolution. Recognizing the critical importance of system integration in healthcare environments, we implemented HL7 protocol integration to connect seamlessly with the majority of hospital clinical systems. This standards-based approach enabled smooth data flow between SimpleFood and six major clinical care platforms, eliminating manual data entry and ensuring staff adoption. The TV menu display feature served both as a practical tool for patient information and as an engagement mechanism within facilities.
