ALICORN Partners with Goodpath to Offer Virtual Health Coaching & Therapy Supporting Expensive Comorbid Chronic Conditions and Mental Health

Washington, D.C., October 1, 2024 – ALICORN has partnered with Goodpath to offer a new CareChat™ Virtual Health Coach service delivering whole-person care, addressing expensive comorbid chronic conditions and mental health needs. Employers offering health benefits to their employees can now support their workforce’s most challenging health issues, reducing claims costs and absences from work by providing this comprehensive care.

Many employees have multiple chronic conditions at the same time. ALICORN’s CareChat™ Virtual Health Coach service covers a wide range of such conditions: musculoskeletal conditions, cancer survivorship, digestive issues, diabetes, weight management, sleep & insomnia, and mental health. Successful management of these conditions requires ongoing coaching and support for both mental and physical health. This is a major gap in employee care offerings that ALICORN is addressing.

Employees using the ALICORN’s CareChat™ Virtual Health Coach program will get access to:

• Health coaching – Employees are paired with a dedicated health coach + therapist who have advanced clinical training, delivering specialized support for their conditions.
• Personalized program – Health coaches work with a multi-specialty group of physicians to create a personalized plan for each employee tailored to their unique needs.
• Unlimited talk therapy sessions – Employees can access virtual sessions with licensed mental health therapists, treating mental health issues such as stress, anxiety, or depression.
• Access from anywhere – A variety of resources, including exercise therapy, behavioral health programs, mind-body interventions, learning modules, and other wellness tools can be accessed easily through the app.
• Custom Care Kits – Each month, employees receive physical items like devices, supplements, or therapy tools, delivered to their homes to support their care journey.

“Employers recognize that productivity and health are interconnected and addressing both physical and mental health is key to a successful workforce,” said Praveen Mooganur, CEO of ALICORN. “We are excited to deepen our collaboration with Goodpath. This partnership strengthens our commitment to providing holistic healthcare solutions to employers nationwide.”

Bill Gianoukos, CEO of Goodpath, shared, “We’re thrilled to extend our partnership with ALICORN, working together to bring whole-person care to more employees. Our model has demonstrated significant improvements in both mental and physical health outcomes, and this approach will not only foster a healthier workforce but also help employers manage healthcare costs more effectively.”
