Toronto — January 27, 2026 — NexJ Health Inc. (NexJ Health), a leader in AI-enabled virtual care, today announced its support of ZealCare’s landmark food-as-medicine initiative for patients living with congestive heart failure (CHF). The program combines ZealCare’s intensive behavior change coaching with community resources and produce benefits, driving measurable improvements in patient outcomes.

ZealCare tackles chronic disease from the inside out, leveraging augmented human engagement and intrinsic motivation management outside the clinic. ZealCare creates an immersive experience with constant contact through individual, peer and AI-generated care moments for high utilizers. Its personalized, high-touch coaching model is supported by NexJ Connected Wellness, NexJ Health’s cutting-edge, AI-enabled virtual care platform. With real-time engagement, smart goal tracking, and AI-driven insights, NexJ Connected Wellness and ZealCare transform coaching into a dynamic, data-driven experience.

A key component of this initiative is NexJ Health’s recently launched AI-powered personalized dietary feedback feature, which enhances Meal Analysis to provide precise, actionable nutrition guidance. This capability enables coaches to deliver tailored dietary recommendations that align with each patient’s health goals, supporting sustainable behavior change and improved clinical outcomes in the food-as-medicine space.

“Healthy habits start with understanding what’s on the plate,” said Daniela Liggio, President of NexJ Health. “Intelligent nutritional analysis from a picture is like having a dietitian at every meal, empowering individuals and their coaches with real‑time insights that make healthier choices easier and more achievable.”

Cassie Wallace, President of ZealCare, shared: “This initiative reflects our mission to bring dosed and immersive engagement and coaching to those who need it most. By combining food access for those living with a complex chronic disease, with behavior change, we’re addressing a root cause of health and empowering patients to take control of their health goals.”

Looking ahead, NexJ Health and ZealCare plan to expand the model across additional health systems, accountable care organizations and payer networks – creating a scalable, cost-effective blueprint that bridges clinical care, intrinsic motivation and community support.
