The app provides participants with one-on-one support from virtual health coaches to help them manage risk and promote healthy lifestyles. The annual program is a partnership between Alberta Blue Cross, Alberta Health Services (AHS) Diabetes, Obesity & Nutrition Strategic Clinical Network (SCN), primary care providers and Yes Health. This virtual Diabetes Prevention Program is available to eligible Albertans through participating primary care providers and aims to prevent type 2 diabetes among adults who have prediabetes. It will be offered free of charge to 500 Albertans who have been identified by doctors and primary care networks. According to an AHS release, nearly 667,000 people live with prediabetes, which puts people at a much higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes because they have higher than normal blood glucose levels. Alberta has had the largest increase in diabetes prevalence in Canada over the past 10 years, and the rate of type 1 and type 2 diabetes is expected to increase by 44 per cent over the next decade. “Diabetes prevention is a key health priority in Alberta, where more than a quarter of the population lives with some form of the disease,” says Tracy Wasylak, SCNs Program Manager. “This innovative diabetes prevention program brings together a diverse group of partners with a strong interest in improving and streamlining care in three important and interrelated areas of health – diabetes, obesity and nutrition.” The pilot project will evaluate how successful the virtual Diabetes Prevention Program is in supporting lifestyle modification and sustainable weight loss for Albertans living with prediabetes. It will help those who want on-demand support and advice – not more calorie counting, strict diets or scheduling phone or video appointments – just practical, up-to-the-minute feedback on meals, workouts, groceries or other questions. “Today’s healthcare consumers expect access to digital health solutions alongside their regular personal care, and it is vital that all stakeholders meet these expectations with innovative programs that combine cutting-edge technology with personalized, human support,” said Alexander Petrov , founder and CEO of Yes Health. “That’s why we’re excited about this landmark pilot partnership. It’s a great example of what can happen when the digital health sector works with payers, providers and public health communities to address and prevent one of the most debilitating and costly chronic diseases.” Recognized by the US Centers for Disease Control (CDC), Yes Health is a mobile-only diabetes prevention platform that supports people living with prediabetes to make healthier decisions at the exact moment they need it. The platform helps members address weight gain – the number one modifiable risk factor for developing type 2 diabetes. Due to the easy-to-use interface and asynchronous interactions with coaches, members have a very high engagement rate and an 87 percent completion rate one hundred.
