One of the largest health care providers in the Nordics, HUS covers 2.2 million lives in total. Their evidence-based national weight loss program has used Metabite.com's technology for over 3 years with thousands of patients. A new partnership brings digital nutrition coaching to thousands through Metabite's data-driven platform, focused on sustainable, plant-based behavior change.
The expansion will focus on incorporating new AI-based features as part of a program funded by Sosiaali- ja terveysministeriö (the Ministry of Social Affairs and Health, Finland) and managed by DigiFinland Oy, and is aimed at helping health care providers implement AI-based tools.
The collaboration includes a research collaboration with the University of Helsinki to assess the efficacy of the new features, which are aimed at helping coaches for the Painonhallintatalo weight loss program work with 50% more patients.
We look forward to continuing our work with Prof. Kirsi Pietiläinen MD PhD, Laura Suojanen, Susanne Räsänen and the rest of the Painonhallintatalo team as well as Prof. Kristiina Patja MD PhD and Prof. Paulus Torkki PhD at the University of Helsinki!
