Motivation and behavioral change are intrinsically linked. Motivation engages and retains patients in treatment, increases participation and involvement, and improves treatment outcomes. Motivation is dynamic and fluctuating, can be modified, and is influenced by the clinician’s style of therapy. The HabitCare system is designed to empower providers to help patients change behavior and lifestyle using the Transtheoretical Model of Change. The Transtheoretical Model emerged from an examination of 18 psychological and behavioral theories about how change occurs. The model measures motivation as a continuum of “Readiness” that can be summarized in discrete “Stages of Change”. The Stages of Change are a sequence of phases through which people typically progress as they think about, initiate, and maintain new behaviors. HabitCare is an automated system that facilitates the provider in
- determining the patient’s Stage of Change
- suggesting actionable recommendations to expedite the patient’s behavioral change,
- tracking the patient’s goals and progress and
- providing actionable print-outs to help patients better understand and improve their health.
