Post-Surgery Dietary Adherence Program
Summary
My company, PancreCare Solutions, is developing a behavioral intervention program to help post-pancreatic surgery patients maintain proper dietary adherence with evidence-based behavior change techniques and personalized support.
Problem statement
Post-pancreatic surgery patients struggle with following proper dietary guidelines which causes poor recovery outcomes and potential health complications.
Solution
A structured dietary adherence program that uses evidence-based behavior change techniques to help post-pancreatic surgery patients follow their prescribed nutritional guidelines. The program combines personalized meal planning, progress tracking tools, and targeted interventions based on the Behavior Change Wheel framework to address specific barriers patients face in maintaining proper nutrition during recovery.
Growth metric
The key metric to focus on is patient dietary adherence rate (percentage of post-pancreatic surgery patients who maintain prescribed dietary guidelines for at least 6 months). To scale this metric to affect 1 million people, the company should partner with major hospital networks and surgical centers to integrate the BCW-based program into standard post-operative care protocols, and develop a digital platform that can be licensed to healthcare systems globally for remote monitoring and intervention delivery.
