Health-related Communication

Effect:• Up to 18% improved engagement• Up to 11% improvement in behavior

change• Cost reduction of $300 pmpy

Pattern of Health is a groundbreaking look at the Patterns of Adapting to Health (PATH) and reveals how health related behaviors are linked. Pattern of Health demonstrates that when it comes to exercise, diet, medical care, and overall health outcomes, we may not be as uniquely individual as we thought all along.Frederick H.
