Online Brief Interventions
Brief and extended interventions are a proven way to nudge patients towards modifying their lifestyle to reduce their health risks in areas such as smoking, alcohol, weight management, activity, nutrition, anxiety and depression.
Despite NICE recommendations, many practitioners don't have the time and resources to offer the interventions they like to offer.
With Health Smart's online solution, you can both free up resources and increase the delivery of the interventions.
At a glance features
- Patients will be able to undergo the interventions themselves, without the need of a practitioner, nurse or professional to be present.

- They can integrate into your existing care pathway and automatically refer patients to appropriate course of action e.g. Stop Smoking Services
