DES MOINES, IOWA, USA, November 14, 2014 /EINPresswire.com/ -- BettrLife, a leader in nutrition and wellness technology, will host a free two-part webinar led by the University of Florida’s Les Jebson. “Jumping Into Wellness: A Brief Swim in the Pool of Wellness Apps” will examine how mobile healthcare apps, or mHealth, are changing how chronic conditions like diabetes are managed.

On November 20th, at 1pm EDT, Mr. Jebson will be joined by Terrance McGowan to explore “mHealth Populations, Wellness Management and Reimbursement Implications.” They will examine the sea of emerging mobile health apps for chronic disease management and discuss how the measurable implications are a key component of population health. Attendees will also learn how the current reimbursement climate is shifting toward greater risk sharing for chronic disease management.

On December 4th, at 1pm EDT, Mr. Jebson will be joined by Kyle Ziegler to discuss “Navigating the Sea of Diabetic Management Tools to Create Better Health Outcomes.” According to the CDC the annual estimated costs of diagnosed diabetes (including direct medical costs and lost worker productivity) totals $245 billion. This webinar will explore how existing mHealth applications are opening doors to greatly improve the health of this population and can ultimately begin to reduce the cost burdens.
