Here are the facts about obesity...

1 Billion
1 billion people in the world are now living with obesity.
2 Billion

An additional 2 billion people are overweight.

Billions
The majority of people, including healthcare professionals, are unaware that obesity is a chronic disease rather than a lifestyle choice.

Global Reach of HealthyIQ

HealthyIQ's obesity programs are being developed and deployed globally. 

Map of countries where we have deployed programs.

HealthyIQ was founded by the same team that created Healthy Interactions, an experiential global diabetes education program. The impact of this diabetes program has been... 

50M+

Fifty million people with diabetes across 129 countries have been educated through experiential diabetes map programs.

The program materials were developed in partnership with country and regional diabetes associations. 

60+

Over sixty independent clinical studies studying the impact of the experiential programs, showing significant improvements in:

  • Glucose and cardiovascular biomarkers
  • Patient self-care including medication adherence and wellness visits
  • Health outcomes including reductions in emergency room visits
95 NPS

Net Promoter Score is a metric used to measure customer satisfaction.

Patients who completed the diabetes experiential program also completed a satisfaction survey, and the program's NPS was 95.

NPS scores above 80 are considered “world-class” in terms of satisfaction.

Healthcare Professional Programs

Obesity is such a pervasive, growing and costly healthcare challenge. Despite its impact, obesity is not a disease topic well covered in traditional medical school curricula. Furthermore, obesity in the US was only classified as a disease in 2012 and, in many countries, it is still viewed as a lifestyle condition versus the reality that obesity is a chronic condition. 

To address the challenges of obesity, HealthyIQ is developing targeted education programs specifically for healthcare professionals. The initial topics for healthcare professional programs include:

Weight Bias Implications

HCPs learn that obesity is a disease and about the impact of weight stigma on the quality of care they provide.

Clinical Guidelines

HCPs learn about the standards of care for obesity and how to incorporate these standards into their practices to achieve better patient outcomes.

HealthyIQ's stigma program helped both myself and my staff understand what weight bias is and the overall impact it has on our patients.  It improved our ability to help our patients with obesity.”

Patient Programs

Obesity is a chronic disease with multiple contributing factors, and its detrimental effects on overall health and longevity are well documented. It is in every patient's best interest to actively manage their condition. To support this effort, HealthyIQ is developing a growing portfolio of patient-focused engagement and education programs, including:

Obesity is a Disease

Education for people with obesity to help understand the complexities of obesity and discuss their challenges with the managing the disease.

The Impact of Obesity on Comorbidities

Education for people with obesity to help understand how obesity impacts their overall health including other diseases.

How to Manage Obesity

Education for people with obesity to explore behaviors and lifestyle changes that lead to improved health outcomes.

HealthyIQ's program was so important to myself and my wife as we started GLP1 to know what to expect.  We likely would have given up if we had not gone through the Obesity Reality program.  It truly simplified and helped with our confusion.

How Our Obesity Education Programs are Experienced

We offer 3 distinct modalities for delivering our experiential education programs:

picture1_002

In-person Discussion Maps

In this format, participants meet face-to-face in small groups composed of individuals with similar health conditions. Each session is facilitated by a licensed HCP and uses a Discussion Map-a visual metaphor-driven tool-to break down complex concepts and guide participants through a Socratic dialogue. This structured approach helps shape each participant's learning pathway. 

  • Facilitated by a HealthyIQ trained Healthcare Provider
  • Small group patients & caregivers
  • Socratic learning principles
  • Metaphoric visual learning
  • Insightful data & infographics
  • Concludes with a personal action plan

Virtual Group Discussion Maps

Virtual sessions replicate the in-person Discussion Map experience without requiring participants to gather in a single location. Conducted in real time and facilitated by a licensed HCP, these sessions maintain the interactive, discussion-based format and ensure a dynamic, patient-centered learning environment—even at a distance.

  • Synchronous / real-time
  • Facilitated by a HealthyIQ trained Healthcare Provider
  • Small group of patients & caregivers
  • Socratic learning principles
  • Metaphoric visual learning
  • Insightful data & infographics
  • Concludes with a personal action plan
picture3_002

Self-directed Discussion Maps

Self-directed virtual sessions empower participants to engage with the obesity learning content at their own pace and convenience. These tools incorporate the same visual imagery and structured learning paths as the in-person and facilitated virtual platforms, allowing learners to independently navigate the material and gain valuable insights into managing their health.

  • Socratic learning principles
  • Metaphoric visual learning
  • Insightful data & infographics
  • Concludes with a personal action plan

How we do it:

The HealthyIQ Methodology

  • Socratic learning principles
  • Metaphoric visual imagery alongside powerful data
  • Small group learning environment
  • Facilitated by a trained, licensed Healthcare Provider
  • Language and cultural accuracy

About Us

HealthyIQ was founded by the same leadership team that established Healthy Interactions. Prior to its acquisition in 2021, Healthy Interactions evolved into the largest, most validated, and most influential diabetes education platform. Its diabetes education programs were implemented in 129 countries and supported by more than 60 independent clinical studies conducted across 14 countries. Overall, these initiatives improved outcomes for over 50 million individuals living with diabetes.
