Culturally dynamic patient education & engagement designed to improve diabetes education program success
MotiSpark has teamed up with Clemson University researchers, Principal Investigator Kim Anne Pickett and Co-Principal Investigator Janice Lanham to bring a scalable method for delivering culturally-competent patient education to the Spartanburg patient population. A pilot is being conducted to measure the platform's ability to improve quantitative and qualitative outcomes, e.g. appointment attendance, A1C levels, weight reduction, patient engagement, self-efficacy, and satisfaction with the platform.
“We know what foods our patients need and where to buy them. I love how MotiSpark enables me to share that! We tried Noom and other digital health tools that told my patients to buy foods like kale that aren’t even in our stores!
MotiSpark enables local providers to scale their care as easily as taking a selfie.
MotiSpark uses conversationally intelligent prompts to help caregivers articulate relatable, action-oriented nudges.
The sense of casual familiarity from selfie videos helps patients feel more trust and support in their providers. Even when they know that the same provider selfies are sent to all patients.
