30 years ago, Kate Lorig, DrPH, created the Chronic Disease Self-management program. We bring it online with Better Choices, Better Health.
“The secret sauce seems to be giving people the confidence they can do things.”

We partner with health plans, healthcare providers and employers to empower self-management with the digital tools, group support and coaching that put individuals back at the center of their health journey. Through these partnerships, our behavior change intervention platform is offered at no cost to participants. Participant identities remain anonymous and their data secure.
