Support Guided GLP-1 Care Delivery
GLP-1 agonists are a class of medications that mainly help manage blood sugar (glucose) levels in people with Type 2 diabetes. Some GLP-1 agonists can also help treat obesity. Since GLP-1s are not right for everyone and require comprehensive support for lasting success, Lark’s unique approach to GLP-1 management includes a tailored combination of responsible clinical screening and prescribing, ongoing clinical management, and industry-leading behavior change coaching that’s available 24/7.
As part of this approach, Lark will now offer three new programs – the Healthy Weight program, GLP-1 Companion program, and Clinician-Guided Step Therapy program – all of which leverage the sustained behavior change, lifestyle management, and remote patient monitoring Lark is known for.
● Healthy Weight is Lark’s award-winning weight loss program that offers AI-driven holistic personalized coaching on lifestyle modification — including nutrition, physical activity, sleep, and stress — to help members lose weight and keep it off – and help employers to provide an industry-leading alternative to more expensive GLP-1 solutions.
● GLP-1 Companion Program is our comprehensive support program for those taking GLP-1 medications. In addition to coaching on lifestyle modification, the program includes side effect management, medication adherence support, and clinical escalations as necessary.
● Clinician-Guided Step Therapy is our program to provide access to end-to-end clinician-led therapy, offering insurance navigation, prescription management, lab monitoring, and ongoing management to ensure continuity of care.
