Cornell University Pilot Program for Registered Dietitians (Small Paid Stipend & Co-authorship)

This is the opportunity for a qualified Registered Dietitian to receive a small paid stipend and co-authorship on a scientific paper with professors at Cornell. Cornell University (http://tech.cornell.edu/) is looking for registered dietitians to pilot a new way of monitoring and interacting with clients to achieve and sustain healthier grocery shopping. The tool, called Pushcart, allows you to automatically view each client’s grocery shopping details, provide feedback and suggestions, and see how these suggestions are adopted (using a dashboard). The tool currently works with online grocery shopping, which itself can provide the behavioral benefit of planning and novelty. We are looking for RDs whose patients /clients would engage in online grocery shopping (Fresh Direct, Peapod, Or Instacart) as their major form of grocery purchasing for a few months. The technology, developed at Cornell Tech, would be available to participants (both RDs and their clients) at NO COST; although the RD is free to charge for their advising services as they see fit. We are accepting applications now.  Please email, level of interest to Dr. Charles Platkin [log in to unmask]
