NEWTOPIA ANNOUNCES LAUNCH OF INNOVATIVE HEALTH COACHING PROJECT IN SOUTHEASTERN UNITED STATES

Newtopia Inc. has launched an innovative health coaching project in partnership with a prominent philanthropic foundation, designed to positively impact chronic disease burden on a regional basis in the southeastern United States.

The project is strategically designed as a community approach to intervene in preventable chronic diseases by offering Newtopia's habit change platform as a no-cost health benefit to eligible participants. The project will commence with patients of a large primary care provider which has nearly 20 locations in two counties. Such patients will be identified through biometric and diagnostic data indicating they suffer from Type 2 diabetes or hypertension and have a corresponding BMI (body mass index) greater than 30. The project is positioned to expand to other providers and employers in the region, home to a population of more than 500,000 people, and offers a blueprint for the deployment of scalable, value-based primary prevention efforts across the United States.

Throughout the project, participants will work 1:1 with a Newtopia health coach (known as an inspirator) to create sustainable healthy habits proven to prevent, slow and reverse chronic disease. The project, which will run for 12 months once enrolment is capped, aims to increase patient activation and employee engagement, improve health and reduce costs of care, while simultaneously increasing desired utilization by closing gaps in care.

Project evaluation will begin with a preliminary read at six months, with a final assessment upon the project's conclusion. Metrics include participant engagement, physical health and emotional/mental health outcomes, and satisfaction scores.

"We're deeply honoured by the opportunity to collaborate on this landmark primary prevention project to help alleviate the burden of chronic disease," said Jeff Ruby, founder and chief executive officer of Newtopia. "Based on our evidence-based efficacy and proven, peer-reviewed results, we anticipate that our personalized, value-based habit change approach will go a long way in helping alleviate the significant personal and economic burden of chronic disease in the region."

Project success is anticipated to lead to expansion among large, national employers, as well as other major providers and other risk-bearing entities responsible for the health of millions of individuals.
