The partnership will see a 150-patient weight management pilot program that will combine new digital bio-markers, using wearable technology and devices for continuous data monitoring, with existing therapeutics. It introduces the Middle East’s first value-based reimbursement model, and will be the first relationship of its kind for Novo Nordisk globally. This innovative partnership will put accountability for outcomes vs. costs on the provider, rather than on the insurers or patients.

The 6-month program, which begins in September, is open to people with obesity who meet certain criteria. Patients will receive an unparalleled level of in-patient and data-driven remote care, with a multidisciplinary clinic team having continuous access to all patient data through an intelligent analytical platform. If patients do not lose at least 10% of their body weight by the end of the program, GluCare.Health and Novo Nordisk will cover all or a portion of the cost under the value-based reimbursement pilot. GluCare.Health is also committed to transparency when it comes to reporting results of the program.

With one in three adults affected by obesity in the UAE[1], GluCare.Health’s Co-Founder and Managing Director, Dr. Ihsan AlMarzooqi, says that the blueprint for care has the potential to not only save many lives but the UAE economy billions of dollars in costs and lost productivity.

“When patients with chronic conditions are not supported properly, it can have a devastating impact on those individuals and their families. Additionally, the cost of treating the health consequences of obesity to the UAE economy alone is approximately $3.6 billion annually[2]. Traditional models of care remain woefully limited when it comes to outcomes. This partnership allows us to embed Novo Nordisk’s advanced therapeutics into a companion platform like GluCare.Health, which enhances its efficacy dramatically.”
