You can analyse food intake records of up to 28 days. There are innovative tools for fast data entry. WISP calculates mean daily nutrient intakes and actual day/meal intakes for a large number of nutrients. Results include non-milk extrinsic sugars, dietary glycaemic index (GI) and glycaemic load (GL). Nutrition analysis is fast - 1,000 7d food intake records take less than 1 minute!

You can compare nutrient intakes with Dietary Reference Values (DRVs) and examine the contribution of foods to nutrient intakes. There are a range of outputs to screen, printer, file, web page and email. Analysis outputs include text, pie charts and bar charts.

'What if' modifications can be made to a record and the effect on nutrient intakes immediately viewed, e.g. the effect of replacing whole milk by skimmed milk. A textual advice module enables you to produce a detailed report for any subject, the output for each selected nutrient being determined by intake of the nutrient.

Nutritional analysis can be done for one record or a batch of records (batch size - up to 3,000). File output choices include Excel and other spreadsheet formats, comma-separated CSV, ASCII delimited (user's choice of delimiter), ASCII position-specific, results database or XML Schema.

For the inexperienced user, there is a Wizard to guide you through the first part of data entry and an analysis wizard to guide you through nutrition analysis. There are tutorial presentations, guiding you through the main features of the program. In addition, you can email us any time, or phone us (office hours) for support. Our expert staff are there to help you.

There is a Statistics Module with a range of useful features. Click here for details. You can also use file outputs in statistical analysis packages such as SPSS.

There is also a remote data entry system for food intake records (WISP-DES). This can be installed on any computer within your organisation and enables users to enter and store food intake records. Data are then imported into WISP for nutritional analysis. Click here for details of WISP-DES.
