The Challenge
Healthy Lifestyles (HLS) Coventry is a FREE service supporting clients to improve their lifestyle through weight management, stopping smoking, alcohol reduction, increasing physical activity and taking NHS health checks.
The HLS coaches work with their clients on a one-to-one basis or in groups, with appointments every 1-3 weeks, across a 12-week programme. In between these appointments many clients need extra support to keep them on track to achieve their goals.
The Solution
The Best-You platform and app also enables groups to be created.
Many clients who are active in a coach-led group programme, also have peer and coach support via the digital group.
Features that made a difference
Groups – promotes peer-support and active communication for those working towards a similar goal or local partnership groups looking for a safe and effective place for groups to communicate around the topic of health and wellbeing.
These groups are monitored by a HLS coach who can set goals, create discussion points or simply motivate towards tracking goals in the Best-You platform.
