Digital Lifestyle Medicine: Designing, Delivering, and Scaling for Impact.

Digital Lifestyle Medicine (DLM) is a consumer-centric model of care which elevates the importance of daily behaviors in preventing and reversing chronic disease using virtual and digital modalities to reach patients in the context where lifestyle behaviors occur and empower them to stay well. DLM is health care reimagined, designed to inspire patients to live their best life by enabling skill-building, self-efficacy, and sustainable behavior change supported by peers, scientific-evidence, and a multidisciplinary team of lifestyle medicine (LM) clinicians. Importantly, it requires insights and collaboration from healthcare experts and technology entrepreneurs to provide a profoundly different "user experience" layered with context, relevance, and scalability. Using examples from our DLM practice, we describe how key components of LM practice, including a multidisciplinary care team, behavior change support, health coaching, and peer support, are prime for digital delivery. We conclude by providing preliminary patient outcomes to date, key success factors, and opportunities for enhancement and expansion to inform the adoption and successful implementation of DLM across the collective of LM practice.
