Utilizing the best technology and the proven science of behavior, leaders from ADI and OneCare join together to build and launch a secure internet-based platform for successfully managing chronic diseases.
Atlanta, GA: (February, 2013) – Aubrey Daniels International (ADI) is excited to announce its partnership with OneCare to offer a solution for patients to successfully manage chronic diseases. With OneCare’s vision and technology, and ADI’s tools and methods for understanding and applying the science of behavior, this partnership will help patients develop positive habits around their care and will lead to reduced costs for the patient and the system as a whole.
OneCare’s mission is to build a platform and system that reduces hospitalization and ongoing costly health care for patients and families through innovative and comprehensive preventive care that will better educate and inform patients and families, increase independence and reduce recidivism. OneCare is designed to accomplish its objectives at no cost to the patient.
In this partnership, ADI is working with OneCare to identify and add highly reinforcing motivational elements to what patients and caregivers see in this system as they chose one behavior over another, in real time. In addition, ADI is building in fluency practice in both knowledge acquisition and skill development to ensure that the patient is able to generalize from one condition to another on how to maintain healthy habits. By doing so, patients and caregivers will develop the skills to demonstrate competence and compliance in health-management, receive the motivational support required, and identify additional skills and patterns of behavior required to help the patient continue to achieve personal wellbeing and health.
"OneCare is excited about the partnership with ADI and the impact that our combined capabilities can provide to improve healthcare,” states Gary Austin, CEO of OneCare. “We believe that combining the best technology available for patient self-management with proven, applied behavioral psychology to shape and develop healthy behavior is the future of patient engagement. We look forward to working with ADI to help patients and their families take control of their health and extend their lives."
“We believe that OneCare’s innovative and widely accessible approach to ensure positive change is something that every company in America could use to control the devastatingly high cost of healthcare,” states Darnell Lattal, President and CEO of ADI. “We are excited to be a part of something that will contribute to the reduction of health care burdens of chronic disease on patients, families, and the community.”
