Abstract: The R-MAPP app is an adaptation of the R-MAPP (Remote – Malnutrition APP)¹ guidance created by European experts in clinical nutrition in response to the COVID-19 pandemic crisis as a tool for the remote evaluation of nutritional status for COVID-19 outpatients, those in the recovery phase of the disease and for all patients that need nutritional care, but cannot visit their physicians in person. It could be suitable for every situation in the future that might limit the availability of healthcare system to broaden scope.

Screening tools should include assessment of muscle mass, and there should be a focus on the maintenance of muscle mass as a malnutrition management strategy.
