Everyone has a team. Typically their team is made up of
friends, family, co-workers, doctors,
nurses, educators and teachers.
In fact, healthcordia members say that this program
is one of the most important members of their team.
Social Network Members
Many people care about another person's health more than
they care about their own. Not such a bad deal when people are
working together to help each other.
Social network members are part of the patients
training team. They are invited by the patient
to participate in a healthy lifestyle program.
You will find that healthcordia's Virtual-Loop technology makes it easy to be somebody's partner in intensive management utilizing automated alerts, reminders and reports allowing you to be a valuable just-in-time coach. It's also made easier since intensive management is not an all day every day program. It works best when utilized periodically for short periods of time.
The power of social networks is realized when the right information goes to the right person at the right time and in the right format. For you, that might just mean a text message on your phone indicating that now would be a good time to call your friend and congratulate him on his efforts. The healthcordia patient intervention technology figures out when it is a good time to engage the team, and which team members to involve.
