The investment comes at a pivotal time as Verdify's NooryMed application undergoes testing as a complementary tool in breast cancer treatment, in collaboration with pharmaceutical company Roche.

dietitian Fleur Pasman, COO at Verdify said, "A good nutritional status can prevent worsening of side effects, prevent additional hospitalisation, and prevent early treatment drop-out, However, a large proportion of patients become malnourished due to taste changes, swallowing problems, and nausea resulting from chemotherapy." NooryMed automatically adjusts recipes to address such challenges while aligning with the healthcare provider’s recommendations."

The investment enables Verdify to achieve significant goals. The NooryMed platform is being prepared for international use in the treatment of breast cancer and obesity. Additionally, the company aims to connect another 100 recipe websites, reaching tens of millions of people in various European countries to promote better food choices.
