Mint Home Care recently attended a WHAFA event at Hunters Woods Retirement Community featuring guest speaker Tom Coyle, co-founder of Sciencella. A West Point graduate and cancer survivor, Coyle highlighted a critical gap in oncology care: nutrition.

He shared that the current dietitian-to-patient ratio in cancer care is approximately 1 to 2,300, leaving an estimated 80 percent of patients vulnerable to malnutrition. This can lead to treatment delays, increased complications, and poorer outcomes.

Sciencella is an AI-powered nutritional assistant designed to support cancer patients in real time, offering personalized meal guidance, risk alerts, and symptom tracking to help patients and clinicians stay ahead of nutrition-related challenges.

For Mint Home Care, the presentation reinforced the essential role nutrition plays in recovery and overall well-being.
We appreciate WHAFA and Hunters Woods for hosting such an informative event.
