SAN FRANCISCO, March 18, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Vida Health, a personalized virtual care platform for physical and behavioral health, today announced the launch of Habits, a machine-learning driven experience that delivers personalized recommendations and reminders. Alongside this launch, Vida is unveiling its new Sleep Health program.
Habits is now integrated across all of Vida's program offerings, including their new Sleep Health program. The experience is powered by Vida's advanced machine learning systems that adapt to a member's unique behavior change obstacles and guide them toward meaningful improvements in health. Lifestyle choices, ranging from sleep patterns to food selection to responses to everyday stress, have been shown to have outsized effects on the development of chronic disease and remain one of the key barriers to wellness. Habits offers an evidence-based model for creating new, sustainable behavioral "loops" capable of reversing chronic disease, avoiding complications, and improving population health.
Vida's machine learning systems use members' unique data signals to deliver personalized habit recommendations. As members engage with Habits, Vida automatically tailors digital interventions and couples them with the personal touch of a health coach or licensed therapist.
Since its inception, Vida has been focused on the root cause of chronic illnesses and barriers to behavior change needed to improve health in mind and body. At the core of this behavior change are the habits that drive day-to-day actions. By changing habits, Vida Health helps individuals reach their unique health and wellness goals sustainably and effectively.
"At Vida, we've long known that long-term health begins with daily habits. It's why member engagement is so important to us, and it's why we've focused from the beginning on building programs that are personalized and speak directly to an individual's day-to-day concerns and health realities," says Stephanie Tilenius, Founder and CEO of Vida Health. "With Habits, we're leveraging our 90% program completion and integrating a behavioral health-centered approach that makes each program even more customized to the level of each individual member."
Habits is fully integrated into the new Sleep Health program, coinciding with Sleep Awareness Month. The 8-week core program is based on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) methodologies and insights from the company's programs focused on depression and anxiety. Vida is targeting a 25% improvement in sleep quality for members.
In Sleep Health, Habits will feature integrated content experiences on sleep-improving topics such as wind-down routines, managing screen time, and the effects of food and drinks on sleep. Additionally, through the Vida app, members have the ability to track and analyze related behaviors using connected devices (eg, healthy eating, caffeine, water, activity).
By taking an evidence-based approach to the behavior science behind habit change, Vida is creating a model that helps manage and improve the whole health of each individual. "Each individual faces different challenges when it comes to behavior change and building health habits," says Pramod Khincha, CTO of Vida Health. "The benefit and power of the Vida platform is that every program identifies and meets the unique needs of each member. By using machine learning to build programs that are personalized to the individual and their journey, we've created an experience for members that makes their goals more achievable."
Vida Health combines clinically validated approaches with remote monitoring devices, care team support, machine learning, and engagement tracking across multiple conditions including diabetes, stress, anxiety, depression, hypertension, asthma/COPD, obesity, and more.
Vida Health is currently deployed by Fortune 1000 employers and healthcare companies. Customers include Avalon Bay, eBay, Steelcase, FICO, Cisco, Veterans Affairs, MD Anderson Cancer Center, Duke University School of Medicine, Aurora Health Care, and Partners Healthcare.
