Spring boarded by its acquisition of www.MySelfHelp.com last year (ePharm5, 11/2/06), health behavior change firm HealthMedia has added two new online intervention tools to its repertoire. The programs, Overcoming Depression and Overcoming Insomnia, are designed to complement other disease management programs by making them available to employers and health plans along with other HealthMedia tools. Overcoming Depression helps patients learn coping strategies and measure their progress, and Overcoming Insomnia helps participants identify unique sleep patterns and the causes of their insomnia. According to the company, health behavior interventions like these help to increase treatment compliance and boost productivity. HealthMedia clients include Johnson & Johnson and GlaxoSmithKline.
