The Swiss startup Collabree, which specializes in developing behavioral science interventions to improve therapy adherence, will release its freely-available digital therapy companion in the form of a mobile app today. The app is designed to train desired behaviors and establish sustainable habits for therapy adherence. The startup focuses on motivation through incentives as part of the formation of sustainable habits. Users who adhere to their therapy can not only look forward to better health outcomes in the future, but also to immediate and attractive rewards.
«We are incredibly grateful to have been able to develop such a helpful and promising product within the last 12 months. After extremely positive feedback from our first users, we are delighted that we can finally make our digital companion available to a broad public.» Pascal Kurz, CEO Collabree AG
In Switzerland, it is estimated that approximately 2.2 million people currently suffer from a chronic condition. In addition, it is assumed that around 50% of these patients do not follow their therapy plan as prescribed. In many cases, one underlying problem is that these patients receive little or no support for the behavioral change necessary to cope with their condition. The resulting lack of adherence to therapy leads to billions of Swiss Francs in additional healthcare costs in Switzerland alone and countless premature deaths. Collabree aims to change this with its digital therapy companion and supports patients during their behavior change with instruments that have been proven to work.
The Collabree app is available for free on the Google PlayStore as well as the Apple AppStore. The app allows users to save their therapy plan digitally and receive useful reminders. To motivate users and help them establish sustainable routines, the startup also relies on modern gamification
