Abstract
A system and method develops a customized meal plan for a patient based on a chemotherapy treatment regimen for the patient and delivers the corresponding food items of the meal plan to the patient. The customized meal plan is designed to mitigate the physical effects and nutritional losses associated with chemotherapy and other cancer related treatments, such as radiation therapy. As the medical condition of the patient changes, the meal plan can be revised to provide updated customization. The meal plan may be developed using information provided by the patient, a caregiver, such as a nurse or physician, or a combination thereof.
