More than ever, everyone is aware of just how important maintaining a healthy lifestyle is, especially during a pandemic – but we all know it’s not that simple and we’re left wondering “How do I do that?”.

Helping Patients take back their Health through the Pillars of Mind, Nutrition and Fitness with Loreen Wales.
Ever had a ‘difficult’ patient? One step further, have you ever had a patient really tell you off? For this week’s guest, Loreen Wales, it was this kind of encounter that was the catalyst for introducing a new way to understand the patient journey. Now, Loreen is a leader in implementing augmented reality and machine learning to help us in building intrinsic motivation, which is essential for sustainable behaviour change. Join us this week as Dr. Jana Rieger has a conversation with Loreen Wales, CEO of MyViva, to discuss how leveraging Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) strategies to engage users in self-care can help build self-efficacy for managing health conditions such as mental health, obesity, diabetes, heart disease and other comorbidities.
