Chronic Disease Prevention And Health Promotion

The profile of diseases contributing most heavily to death, illness, and disability among Americans changed dramatically during the last century. Today, chronic diseases—such as cardiovascular disease (primarily heart disease and stroke), cancer, and diabetes—are among the most prevalent, costly, and preventable of all health problems. Seven of every 10 Americans who die each year, or more than 1.7 million people, die of a chronic disease. The prolonged course of illness and disability from such chronic diseases as diabetes and arthritis results in extended pain and suffering and decreased quality of life for millions of Americans. Chronic, disabling conditions cause major limitations in activity for more than one of every 10 Americans, or 25 million people.

A Powerful Engine

So what makes ROGERsm tick?

The answer is simple. ROGERsm does not run on data, it runs on knowledge.

Most database-driven applications depend on discrete objective facts in symbolic form (text, images, or mathematical equations) called data. Data is the smallest unit of fact and is not usable without some sort of processing because it lacks a context. When context is added to the data, the result is called information. Information is defined as data that has been shaped into something meaningful and useful, actionable. Knowledge is the result of interpreting information based on what is already known. Information becomes knowledge when it is compared to other information and then used to predict the outcome of a future action or define something new. ROGERsm’s knowledge-base can model each unique user’s situation and respond in a completely tailored fashion. This means that ROGERsm is truly dynamic and effective in facilitating behavior change. It is entirely individual-oriented and up-to-the-second current — real-time. ROGERsm is always engaging and active. Best of all, it’s capable of promoting and monitoring incremental changes that will lead to healthier living behaviors. ROGERsm is usable by all enrollees – regardless of age, gender, education, or cultural background. What’s more, ROGERsm reports their progress. However you want the data sliced or diced, you can track how ROGERsm is working.
 

A New Approach To Better Health

E-mail Print PDF
ROGERsm was developed to reduce human suffering and to help solve a key economic issue…the treatment of chronic diseases account for 75% of health care expenditures in the United States ($2.2 trillion in 2007). Prevention of chronic diseases and reducing their principal risk factors is mission-critical to reducing health care costs.

ROGERsm is up to the mission. Here’s why.The lion’s share of chronic disease that is prevalent in our population is PREVENTABLE. The CDC tells us that if we could eliminate inactivity, poor nutrition and  smoking, the result would be an 80% reduction in stroke, heart disease, type-2 diabetes and a 40% drop in cancer occurrence.  ROGERsm's health and lifestyle behavior change model was created through the collaboration of physicians, psychologists, specialty health and lifestyle experts, e-learning wizards, and information technology gurus – literally with hundreds of years of combined clinical and practical experience – married to 21st century technology. The result of blending real scientific and psychological know-how with the power and reach of web-based interactivity has generated a totally new approach to behavior change. ROGERsm focuses on those lifestyle traits and behaviors that people CAN CHANGE and meets each individual exactly “where they are” so that they may begin effecting change and incorporating healthy habits every day of their lives. ROGERsm is designed to be a part of a person’s every day life in a supportive and unobtrusive way.

ROGERsm is a breakthrough, knowledge-based wellness informatics web application. It works on a one-to-one basis with the user to help improve their personal health and well being by offering daily easy-to-practice lifestyle changes. ROGERsm accomplishes its wellness goals by applying a browser-based preventive care and lifestyle management approach that concentrates on daily personal encouragement, community support, and goal achievement indicators.

ROGERsm's interactive intervention method is unique in the industry.  It is a primary prevention system delivered through a new and innovative behavioral change model designed specifically for robust and graphical Internet-based engagement.

ROGERsm is designed using a proprietary behavioral model based on the principle that the graphical “game-like” design invites the consumer to participate fully in the development of a customized lifestyle plan. ROGERsm then celebrates and congratulates each person for their continued engagement, and learns with the consumer so that their lifestyle plans are developed, accessed, updated, and improved over time.

ROGERsm is a unique approach to wellness that benefits each concerned party: health insurance providers, corporate and government plan managers, as well as each individual who uses it.
