This paper presents the design of a web-based decision co-creation platform to showcase water treatment technologies connected via industrial symbiosis for a circular economy approach. The platform is developed as part of the EU H2020-funded ULTIMATE project. This system initially investigates three case studies focusing respectively on: water and nutrient recovery in greenhouses, pre-treatment of wastewater from olive mills before integration into communal wastewater systems, and value-added compound recovery from wastewater in a juice factory.

Introduction: nutritional screening (NS) is crucial for early detection of malnutrition (MN) and prediction of "nutritional risk".

Objectives: to establish the prevalence of hospital malnutrition by Subjective Global Assessment (SGA) and evaluate the agreement of NS tools and their ability to predict mortality (M), infectious (IC) and non-infectious complications, and prolonged stay (> 11 days).

Methods: a multicenter, prospective, observational study was conducted.
