How does the programme work?
Each person completes an online questionnaire to establish their personal habits. We then send psychologically powerful Do’s – by text and email. These are small actions designed by our psychologists, tailored to each patient’s habits and their life.
They’ll get regular Do’s – small actions sent by text or email to their phone, tablet or PC – specially tailored to their personal lifestyle.
The Do’s may help them to make small changes in diet and activity levels, to learn more about their condition and encourage them to take control. Over 6 weeks they’ll slowly drop bad habits and adopt a new healthier lifestyle.
