Rethinking Chronic Disease Management
Empowering Patients for Better Health Outcomes Using See Yourself Health’s Immersive Learning Methodology
Chronic diseases pose a significant challenge to society in the US and worldwide. More than 133 million Americans live with at least one chronic disease at the cost of a $1 trillion dollars annually. Many of these conditions (diabetes, heart disease, and respiratory diseases) are preventable, and their leading risk factors are behavioral – such as physical inactivity, poor nutrition, tobacco use, and excessive alcohol. Adopting a healthy lifestyle can control or even reverse some chronic illnesses, but lifestyle change is hard and many people struggle, eventually developing burnout and becoming disengaged. People need education and training in how to self-manage a chronic disease, but few get it. For example, less than 7% of newly-diagnosed diabetes patients report completing the essential training and education needed for effective diabetes self-management. As a result, year after year, disease prevalence and associated costs rise, confirming that our healthcare system lacks the capacity to deliver the support people need to be successful partners in care.
Given the future trajectory of chronic disease and the constraints of an overburdened healthcare system, it is inevitable that more and more will be asked of people to manage complex diseases on their own. For this to be achieved, investment and innovation in solutions that engage and empower individuals with competency in disease self-management skills will be required. To be successful, people need actionable training and education tailored for their individual needs, a community of support and tools that make it possible to see meaningful change. To truly make strides, we must invest in education and training tools designed and rooted in adult learning methodologies that foster community and address stigma, loneliness and distress while building self-efficacy, digital literacy, and self-management mastery throughout the journey toward better health: this is our mission at See Yourself Health.
See Yourself Health aims to revolutionize chronic disease management using our proprietary AI-driven, instructional design to tailor and personalize an immersive learning experience that teaches people essential self-management skills and how to apply these skills in their own lives. We recognize that adults learn best through active participation in practical experiences tailored to their immediate life circumstances, facilitating acquisition and mastery of essential new knowledge and skills.
