Every Meal Matters

In acute care environments, every meal plays a role in recovery. Patients need confidence that what they’re eating is safe, appropriate, and aligned with their clinical needs.

Illumia brings nutrition, patient dining, and foodservice operations together in one cloud-based platform. By connecting diet orders, allergen management, menu planning, and meal ordering, hospitals can consistently deliver safe, personalized dining experiences while giving foodservice teams greater control to do more with less.



Coordinated Nutrition from Planning to Plate

Illumia connects the people, processes, and data behind every meal within a single, cloud-based platform. This unified approach helps healthcare facilities ensure patient safety while operating more efficiently with fewer resources.

Clinical and Patient Nutrition

Accurate nutrition management without added complexity.

Managing diet orders takes careful coordination. Patients may have multiple allergens, dietary restrictions, texture modifications, and preferences that must be followed for every meal. 

Illumia makes it easy to manage these complexities within each patient’s profile without manual workarounds. By connecting diet orders with menu planning and foodservice operations, hospitals strengthen diet order compliance and help ensure meals align with documented dietary requirements.

  • Support for multiple allergens, restrictions, and modifications per patient
  • Automate compliance tools that reduce risk of errors
  • Real-time diet order updates integrated with EHRs
  • Nutritional analysis tools for accurate menu planning

Patient Dining and Experience

Personalized ordering with built-in safeguards.

Patients want clarity and confidence when choosing meals. Illumia makes it easy to select from approved options, customize selections, and place orders aligned with documented dietary requirements. With mobile, on-demand meal ordering, patients can order when it works for them, supporting better outcomes and more satisfied patients.
And when loved ones visit, guest meals with flexible payment options make it easier to share a meal together.
