Weight Management

Most diet programs focus on weight-loss regimens and health education, but Alere believes each of these approaches fall short on their own of solving food addiction issues. The Alere Weight Management Program was designed to encourage and empower individuals via motivational and behavior change principles and goal-setting in a high-touch, 12-month telephonic coaching format.

Alere’s care managers help participants to set realistic target goals, build upon prior weight loss successes and increase motivation and self-confidence. We conduct comprehensive lifestyle assessments that screen for eating disorders, readiness to change and other psychological factors that could impact treatment success. These assessments are then used to establish a strategy to motivate individuals to want to change.

Through telephonic interactions, our care managers help program participants develop and maintain an individualized weight-loss plan and improve poor lifestyle habits that lead to clinical obesity. Alere’s integrated approach results in measurable differences in the participant’s quality of life and reductions in your organization’s health claims costs.
