LBDPCN has licensed NexJ Connected Wellness on a subscription basis for use in their Self Manage to Improve your Life Everyday (S.M.I.L.E.) healthcare program. The S.M.I.L.E. healthcare program brings together a team of healthcare professionals that help people living with various chronic conditions such as diabetes, pre-diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and obesity. The team, which includes registered nurses and dietitians, a registered pharmacist and psychologist and an exercise specialist, works with patients to help them learn strategies to improve their ability to manage their health.

Patients will use NexJ Health Coach to capture biometrics such as weight, blood glucose and blood pressure. They enter this data using a smartphone or tablet, and can track their daily activities such as exercise, food intake, as well as subjective information such as how they feel.

Helping patients understand the relationship between their behaviors, their biometric measurements and how they feel, delivers the motivation and encouragement individuals need to sustain the behavior changes necessary to improve their wellness.
