From pioneering CD-ROM interventions to cloud-based applications, we've been developing and testing digital health solutions for over two decades. Fully customizable for diabetes prevention, workplace wellness, and other health behavior interventions.
Healthcare systems spend $327 billion annually on diabetes alone. Traditional health coaching programs cost $50,000+ per coach yearly, limiting reach to a fraction of the 88 million Americans who are prediabetic. With healthcare budgets strained, scalable automated solutions are essential.
Unlike traditional programs costing $1,000+ per participant, ALIVE delivers proven results at scale for under $100 per user.
A proven evolution of evidence-based interventions
Fully automated intervention requiring no human coaches
Participants complete validated questionnaires. Algorithm analyzes diet, activity, and readiness for change.
Algorithm generates weekly small-step goals. Goals gradually increase, building sustainable habits.
Weekly emails, reminders, optional app, and automated phone coaching. Participants choose channels.
Log achievements, weight, and activity. Visual graphs show progress and reinforce positive changes.
Points, team challenges, and achievement badges. Social features support engagement and motivation.
System adjusts based on progress patterns. Non-responders receive different messaging strategies.
