Ochsner Health System in New Orleans is rolling out a remote weight management program, as a part of its digital health program. Through digital tools like mobile app, patients can engage with clinicians, health coaches and dieticians for personalised guidance of their weight loss journey. Clinicians may prescribe GLP-1 drugs for appropriate patients when clinically indicated.
Ochsner initiated its first cardiometabolic digital care program nearly a decade ago and has served more than 50,000 patients with Hypertension, Type 2 diabetes and Hyperlipidemia. This expanded program will now address the growing obesity rates and the full spectrum of cardiometabolic health needs.
