Virtual integrated care platform, GI OnDemand, has partnered with Mindset Health, a hypnotherapy mobile app, just days after announcing its partnership with Trellus Health, an inflammatory bowel disease management solution.
With these partnerships, GI OnDemand, a joint venture between the ACG and Gastro Girl, Inc., will be able to offer access to these resources to all GI OnDemand and ACG members nationwide.
Partnering with Mindset Health will open access to Nerva, a hypnotherapy program delivered through a mobile app, developed by Simone Peters, PhD, intended to assist patients with irritable bowel syndrome in managing their symptoms.
“Given the multifactorial nature of IBS, a multidisciplinary approach that includes brain-gut behavioral therapies is critical for many patients,” Megan Riehl, PsyD, director of behavioral health services for GI OnDemand, said in the release. “Direct access to a GI psychologist remains limited and has been a significant barrier to receiving this evidence-based care. Providers now have a trusted solution for access issues with an excellent product. Nerva is a self-directed digital therapeutic with proven benefits that patients will find easy to use and effective.”
Expanding on these offerings, the GI OnDemand partnership with Trellus Health will open access to a multidisciplinary care platform that coordinates and delivers personalized remote behavioral, emotional and nutritional support to patients with IBD utilizing an expert resilience training team of coaches, dietitians and nurse educators.
“GI OnDemand expands a provider’s ability to deliver a first in class patient self-management solution for IBD. All patients have access to a digitally delivered, resilience-based, self-management training program developed and validated at Mount Sinai to help your patients take charge of their health needs, access behavioral and emotional support in between office visits and experience better outcomes,” William Chey, MD, FACG, senior director of nutrition and behavioral health services of GI OnDemand, said. “This is exactly what our GI patients need.”
