The latest evidence on behaviour change demonstrates that when clinicians advise and encourage patients to make lifestyle changes, more than half can make positive changes within six months. The RACGP Healthy Habits Program is a free digital health tool that helps you support patients on chronic disease management plans.
The patient-facing app encourages small changes to nutrition, physical activity and sleep habits to meet larger health goals, set by patients and their GPs.
The clinician dashboard gives the general practice team an overview of their patients’ physical activity, nutrition and sleep health goals over time which encourages a sense of accountability.
GPs can identify patients who might be struggling to stay on track and send them messages of encouragement through the clinician dashboard to the patient’s app.
Because Healthy Habits can be supported and managed by the whole primary healthcare team, it provides greater opportunities for patients to connect and feel motivated.
It also gives the practice team a clear picture of the patient’s lifestyle at a glance, saving time and making it easier to have informed conversations about preventive care.
Clinicians and patients can review progress together, to celebrate victories and work through challenges in a standard consultation.
It takes less than two minutes to register your practice, giving you access to the program and a suite of Healthy Habits resources and CPD.
