AYOGA• Patients with chronic

conditions must be

proactive about

maintaining and

improving their health

and overall wellness.

AYOGA

• There are limits to

what doctors and

caregivers can

accomplish on their

own.

AYOGA• This is why a company

called Ayogo has designed

an app called Empower to

help these patients develop

new behavioral habits

specific to their condition.

AYOGA• This project received the

support of partnerships with Joslin Diabetes Center (Harvard Medical School), Sanofti Aventis (USC’s body imaging center at the Keck School of Medicine) and Diabetes Hands Foundation.

AYOGA• With daily prompts

to help remind them, patients are required to check in every day to record their behaviors.

AYOGA• They are assigned

small activities, games and surveys and rewarded for positive changes.

AYOGA• Over time, these

behaviors turn into new lifestyle habits which help patients make better progress and develop more autonomy in terms of their health.
