Malnutrition is one of the most important reasons for child mortality in developing countries, especially during the first 5 years of life. Malnutrition occurring in the world is caused by insufficient monitoring, identification, and assessment efforts. Therefore, interventions focusing on the identification and treatment of malnutrition are valuable, as they reduce the risks and rates of malnutrition. Technology may be a particularly useful ally in identifying malnutrition due to scalability, timeliness, and effectiveness.
Sight and Life is a humanitarian nutrition tank working eradicating malnutrition. Malnutrition is an underlying cause of death for 2.6 million children each year, and leaves millions more with lifelong physical and mental impairments.Sight and Life is a pioneer of nutrition innovations based on science and working towards eliminating all forms of malnutrition in children and women of childbearing age
