Currently operational in the Women's Health Services Unit, the service aims to enhance patient care and is set to expand across additional hospital units later this year.

The CBORD Patient App interfaces directly with UNC Health Southeastern’s nutrition system, allowing real-time access to meal choices tailored to individual dietary needs. This feature ensures that patients adhere to their prescribed diets, such as nutrient-controlled diets, by automatically restricting selections that surpass set nutritional thresholds. The app displays only foods appropriate to the patient’s clinical diet and provides guidance for those on specific dietary requirements.

Patrick Ebri, PhD, Vice President and Chief Engagement Officer at UNC Health Southeastern, hailed the project as a "game changer" providing a more convenient and efficient method for meal ordering. Arun Ahuja, Senior Vice President & General Manager of Healthcare & Corporate at Transact + CBORD, emphasized, “We’re redefining what patient-centered care looks like — starting with the menu.” This innovative collaboration underscores the commitment to making hospital stays more personalized and empowering through technology.

The pilot program is currently live in the Women’s Health Services Unit, with plans to expand to additional hospital units later this year. The partnership between UNC Health Southeastern and Transact + CBORD highlights the growing trend of leveraging technology to improve patient care and satisfaction.
