The Remedy for Premature Death
-Survey research of 23,000 adults in and around Potsdam Germany asked about
four factors in their lives:
-Do you smoke yes or no?
-Do you eat well yes or no? (habitual intake of fruits, vegetables, whole grains)
-Are you physically active on a regular basis yes or no?
-Is your weight well controlled yes or no?

Comparison of Unhealthy vs. Healthy Lifestyle
-Group 1 = I don’t smoke, I eat well, I’m physically active, my weight is where it
should be
-Group 2 = I smoke, eat badly, don’t exercise, and my weight is out of control
-Group 1 over the span of their lifetimes had an 80% lesser rate of all major
chronic disease than group 2
-Flip the switch from bad to good on any of these factors and the lifetime
risk of getting any major chronic disease goes down about 50%

The “Magic Pill” of Lifestyle
By avoiding smoking, eating well, exercising,
and controlling our weight we can reduce our
lifetime risk of getting any major chronic
disease by 80%

Gap Between What We Know and What We Do
-There is a major gap between what we know and
what we do with what we know
-We need to translate what we know into what we
routinely do
-Lifestyle modification is hard
-We Need a coach (diabetes prevention program)

Dietary Monitoring Via Telehealth

Lifestyle Change Requires 9-16 Visits...Who wants
to drive to a dietitian? Schedule online instead
![Page 19: Telehealth for lifestyle interventions - Laurence Girard, FruitStreet - TFSS](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022021812/589c89fd1a28ab1e5d8b4f09/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Why Are Lifestyle Interventions Difficult?
-Reimbursement for lifestyle interventions is difficult
-Reimbursement for dietitians is limited
-Driving to physical clinics is difficult - weight management centers report missing
50% of their visits
-Patient compliance is challenging, user experience needs to be simple
-Physicians lack time to do lifestyle counseling
![Page 20: Telehealth for lifestyle interventions - Laurence Girard, FruitStreet - TFSS](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022021812/589c89fd1a28ab1e5d8b4f09/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
The Horizon for Telehealth + Lifestyle Interventions
-Telehealth eliminates the barrier of driving for weight management sessions
-Medicare will be reimbursing for the diabetes prevention program in January of
2018 including telehealth
-Self-insured employers will find value in products that can be shown to be
clinically and cost effective (prevent pre-diabetes to go to type 2 diabetes)
-ACOs looking for cost effective solutions in capitated payment settings
-Insurance companies have health coaching programs to help keep their members
healthy (The BUPA Coach Program)
-Dietitians + psychologists do not need to see patients in-person

Diabetes Prevention Program Is More Effective Than Metformin for Prevention of
Type 2 Diabetes

Evidence for Telehealth Weight Management
Comparison of virtual visits, in-person visits, and self-directed dieting:
• Virtual and in-person visits were twice as likely to lead to 5% weight loss at 2 years compared to self-directed dieting
• Virtual visits had better follow up adherence than traditional in-person visits after 6 months
● VA has ongoing telemove program for weight management

Fruit Street Clinical Trial for Weight Management
“Effectiveness of an integrated digital health platform for risk factor modification
among patients with cardiovascular risk factors”
-Randomized Controlled Trial with obese patients with cardiovascular risk factors (300
patients)
-Control: Usual care seeing the dietitian in-person physical clinic
-Intervention: Dietitians seeing patients through video visits, taking pictures of food, wireless
scale, Fitbit
-Outcomes: weight, blood pressure, HbA1c, LDL-c, fasting glucose, improvements in PA,
improvements in diet, and complete rate of visits.
-Economic analysis on clinical outcomes will be conducted
