Recently, the AHA, an organization dedicated to fighting stroke and heart disease, announced that it is working on a new digital solution for cardiovascular patients with the help of the cloud-based platform PatientBond. Known as the Health Motivation Platform, this solution relies on users' intrinsic motivation to encourage them to engage in healthy behaviors. Through the platform, users can take advantage of a Condition Management Program, Readmissions Reduction Program, and Health Enhancement Program. The Condition Management Program supplements care from a user’s provider. It lasts for 12 months and consists of various assessments, action plans, and educational content relating to hypertension, heart failure, and stroke. Meanwhile, the Health Enhancement Program is an engagement program that improves wellness and prevents cardiovascular disease among the general population. Finally, patients with cardiovascular conditions can benefit from the Readmissions Reduction Program. This flexible program lasts for 30 to 90 days and provides educational content and guidance to patients after a period of post-acute care.
