(View all written questions)The Government has launched several digital health schemes over the period requested.
The ‘Better Health’ behavioural support tools, apps, websites, and email programmes are freely available and aligned to policies. They include the NHS Weight Loss Plan, Couch to 5k, Active 10, and NHS Quit Smoking apps, as well as Start for Life, Healthy Steps, and Every Mind Matters email programmes. Data from these tools is routinely analysed and supported by bespoke evaluations, for example an evaluation of the Weight Loss Plan app by Leeds University indicated completers of the twelve-week plan lose an average of 5.8kg.
The Better Health Rewards pilot, which was run in 2023 in Wolverhampton, was designed to test whether financial incentives can be used to support people with their diet and physical activity behaviours. Participants downloaded an app, received a free wearable fitness tracker, and earnt points for completing diet and physical activity challenges which they could redeem for rewards. 28,858 people registered with the app and evaluation is still ongoing.
In April 2021, NHS England launched the NHS Digital Weight Management Programme, which is a 12-week behaviour change programme for people living with obesity and hypertension, diabetes, or both. The Programme provides an effective and acceptable delivery method to support weight management on a national scale. Published Year 1 data demonstrates the Programme achieves clinically meaningful weight-loss of almost 4kg for those who complete the Programme. This outcome is not impacted significantly by participants’ socioeconomic status.
The Healthier You NHS Diabetes Prevention Programme is a behaviour change programme that aims to support people identified as being at high risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Over nine months, participants receive personalised support with practical tools and advice on healthy eating and lifestyle, increasing physical activity and weight management.
Since 2019 individuals referred to the programme choose between a face-to-face group-based service, a digital app-based service, and, if applicable, a tailored remote service for groups that experience health inequalities. Over 1.6 million referrals have been made since the programme started in 2016, and over 700,000 people have been supported on the programme, over 150,000 of which used the digital service. Independent evaluation shows that people who complete the programme reduce their risk of developing type 2 diabetes by 37%.
