WIN Overview

Wellness Integrated Network (WIN) has developed a mobile/web based application that unlike competing wellness systems, enables users to track their dietary intake and recommends meals and physical activities based on medical history, lifestyle, cooking ability, time allowances, and preferences. WIN helps improve and sustain patient/client compliance as it relates to diet and nutrition.

Problem

The failure to manage a healthy lifestyle is leading to severe consequences for many Americans.
Obesity, diabetes, and heart disease impact the quality of life while increasing health care costs.
Escalating health care costs in America facilitated the creation of the WIN system.

In America:

• $125 billion per year spent TREATING obesity
• 67% = 200 million = overweight or obese (main cause of declining health)

Patient non-compliance because:

• Confusing/misleading information
• Poor meal planning
• Time constraints
• No POS information
• Lack of implementation
• Lack of monitoring
• Poor patient-provider communication
