Proven Effectiveness of Telephonic Coaching and Interactive Web Tools for Sustained Weight Loss

Presented by Healthways 

Individuals participating in telephonic coaching combined with interactive web support can be as successful at losing weight and maintaining the lower weight over a two year period as those participating in face-to-face coaching, according to the recently announced findings from a study conducted by Johns Hopkins Medicine.
Participants in both programs lost at least five percent of their body weight, an amount associated with health benefits such as lower blood pressure, lower cholesterol and better diabetes control, according to researchers.

The result of this study is innergy™, the commercially available solution offered by Healthways in collaboration with Johns Hopkins Medicine.  Health plan sponsors can now offer a weight loss program with proven effectiveness that also offers the scalability and cost-effectiveness of a telephonic coaching program.

Join us as we discuss:

• How the telephonic and interactive web-based program was developed. 
• The weight loss and maintenance of participants in each program.
• How health plans will be able to offer the intervention delivered in the study to their populations.
