Changing Health’s Innovative Intervention Programme to Prevent Type 2 Diabetes
by Changing Health
Changing Health’s intervention programme to prevent Type 2 diabetes combines new technology and behavioural change experts to encourage people to make long term, positive lifestyle changes. It has been adopted as part of the Healthier You NHS Diabetes Prevention Programme (DPP). The personalised, digital programme uses comprehensive research in metabolism, diabetes and behavioural science. It combines bespoke, one-to-one lifestyle coaching (delivered over the phone), with a customisable course of structured diabetes education (delivered via an app). People at risk of diabetes learn how they can fit simple lifestyle changes into their lives and receive personalised support.
