Nudge unveiled a new program that will pair consumers with health coaches. Called Nudge+Coach, it enables users to gain actionable feedback on how to improve their overall health and make sense of the data being pulled from the various wearables and fitness trackers on the market.
The program is touted as first its kind that can bridge the gap between consumers using health-tracking platforms and healthcare providers looking to better understand the information being collected from these devices. The service takes the data being pulled in from the 80 plus devices and apps that Nudge syncs with, and gives users the option to communicate with a specialized health professional from within the Nudge app.
Although pricing, most packages include introductory phone calls, multiple consultations, and unlimited in-app messaging throughout the month.“Our goal is to create an ecosystem where health data goes beyond the consumer and can be leveraged by health professionals to enhance the care model,” said Nudge co-founders, Mac Gambill and Phil Beene. “We created Nudge+Coach to address this problem – a way to standardize the data that’s being pulled in by the various health tracking devices, and the ability for consumers to make sense of this data by pairing up with a virtual accountability partner who can help them improve their lifestyle.”
Through Nudge+Coach consumers can select a health coach based on their needs, whether it’s losing weight, eating better, or reducing stress levels. The service will then provide actionable feedback in the form of personalized recommendations, goals, and tailored health plans. The pricing varies depending on the expertise of the coach, with most packages including introductory phone calls, multiple consultations, and unlimited in-app messaging throughout the month.
Nudge+Coach is available on iOS, with the Android app coming soon.
