Mytonomy to Deliver Microlearning Patient Education through Onduo Virtual Diabetes Clinic
BETHESDA, Md. (PRWEB) January 18, 2018 -- Mytonomy, a leader in patient experience cloud solutions that leverage behavioral and learning science to drive better health outcomes, announced it will support Onduo, a joint venture created by Verily (an Alphabet company) and Sanofi. Mytonomy will develop custom microlearning video education for Onduo’s Virtual Diabetes Clinic members, and provide their Patient Experience Cloud, white‐labeled under the Onduo brand, enabling Onduo coaches and members access to a master library of modern microlearning patient education, anytime, anywhere on any mobile device.
“Great content engages all audiences. We are excited to support Onduo by applying our microlearning approach to participant education for virtual diabetes self‐management. Mytonomy’s microlearning approach enables patients to learn about the critical aspects of health management strategies from the comfort of their own home on their preferred mobile device,” said Anjali Kataria, CEO of Mytonomy.
“Traditional forms of classroom style diabetes self‐management education have already shown positive gains in patient motivation, understanding, and better health outcomes. However, in an increasingly mobile world, leveraging novel technologies is necessary to build the future foundations of wellness and new habits in chronic care disease management. These require tailoring, personalizing and modernizing patient education to meet patients where they are today, and to drive optimal engagement levels outside of the hospital and clinic.
“Mytonomy’s Patient Experience Cloud will help educate consumers about innovative coaching platforms like Onduo’s Virtual Diabetes Clinic,” said Vinay Bhargava, Co‐Founder, and President of Mytonomy. “By delivering precise patient education enabled by our APIs, we can make the human interaction between coaches and patients more robust and efficient, allowing more patients to be positively impacted.”

About Diabetes
Diabetes is a chronic condition characterized by high blood sugar levels that stem from inappropriate production or use of insulin. In 2014, it was estimated that 29 million Americans[i] and 425 million people worldwide[ii] have diabetes. About 90-95% of these individuals have type 2 diabetes and 29% take some form of insulin[iii]. Despite being provided with effective medications, more than half of them do not meet the recommended targets for glycemic control[iv]. Major contributing factors include challenges with insulin initiation and titration. Owing to the complications associated with diabetes, its total annual cost in the US amounts to $245 billion. Optimizing adherence to diabetes medications is recognized as one of the most effective ways of controlling disease expenditures[v]. The cost saving opportunity in the U.S is estimated to be $4,690 per patient per year[vi]. It has been estimated that the global economic burden of diabetes is U.S. $827 billion. [vii]
