About Us

We are well positioned to address chronic inflammation and the disease it causes, based on years of academic research and the only scientifically validated products of their kind in the world.

At this point, physicians and other healthcare providers do not currently have a tool, and typically not the specialized training required, to provide meaningful, evidence-based, and actionable dietary advice to patients on how to reduce the burden of chronic inflammation. It is with this in mind that Dr. James HĆ©bert, Director of the Cancer Prevention and Control Program, and his team based at the University of South Carolina in Columbia have spent considerable effort developing the Dietary Inflammatory Index (DIIĀ®) Connecting Health Innovations LLC (CHI) is working to commercialize a variety of innovative products and services that help medical professionals screen for and manage patients at risk of diseases caused by chronic inflammation. Other products will be focused on helping to educate consumers and start to familiarize them with the DIIĀ® scale.
