The Population Health Alliance, the leader in advancing the principles of population health, announced September’s lineup of webinar presenters for the Population Health Management Virtual Brown Bag Series: DPS Health and Kognito, on September 4 and 18, respectively.

This FREE webinar series features PHA member organizations presenting on the core components of the Population Health Management (PHM) framework and how they relate to their work and underpin their research in areas of identification, assessment, stratification, engagement, interventions, and evaluation.

On September 4, DPS Health’s webinar, titled Improving outcomes for patients with multiple chronic conditions who are not yet very sick, will be presented by company leaders Neal Kaufman, MD, MPH Chief Medical Officer, and Adam Kaufman, PhD, CEO and President.

The two will talk about how an integrated approach to outreach, education, engagement, activation and intervention improves short-term and long-term business and health outcomes when applied to the Moderate Risk segment of the population. The webinar is taking place on Thursday, September 4, at Noon Eastern Time.

On September 18, Kognito’s Co-Founders CEO, Ron Goldman and Director of Research, Glenn Albright, Ph.D., will present the webinar Conversations that Drive and Sustain Change: Can Talking with Virtual Humans Change Behavior?

The webinar will showcase how Kognito, for the past decade, is tapping emotionally responsive, fully animated Virtual Humans in challenging conversations about health to drive behavior change. The presenters will discuss how conversations that are occurring across the care continuum today can be made more meaningful; the learning methodology that incorporates principles of neuroscience, social cognition and game mechanics into the Kognito Conversation PlatformTM; and demonstrate their ground-breaking technology and evidence-based approach in recent work for health and behavioral health clients.

The webinar is taking place on Thursday, September 18, at Noon Eastern Time.
