Area of Science:

• Digital Health
• Cardiovascular Disease Prevention
• Health Management

Background:

• Cardiovascular diseases represent a major cause of mortality globally.
• A significant portion of cardiovascular diseases are preventable through lifestyle modifications and proactive health management.
• The Mutuelle générale de l'éducation nationale (MGEN) developed the VIVOPTIM program to address this challenge.

Purpose of the Study:

• To evaluate the effectiveness of the VIVOPTIM program, a novel digital healthcare approach.
• To assess the impact of individualized, multiprofessional, and ranked management of cardiovascular risk factors.
• To determine the program's potential for improving patient care and healthcare system organization in France.

Main Methods:

• A pilot program involving 2240 participants aged 30-70 in France.
• Participants completed a Framingham Heart Study Risk Score questionnaire to determine cardiovascular risk levels.
• The VIVOPTIM program included risk assessment, education, personalized telephone coaching, and e-Health monitoring.

Main Results:

• Significant reductions in mean systolic blood pressure (-3.4mmHg) and weight (-1.5kg).
• A notable decrease in daily cigarette consumption (-2.2 cigarettes/day).
• A significant increase in daily steps taken (+1726 steps/day).

Conclusions:

• The VIVOPTIM program demonstrated positive mid-to-long-term results in improving key cardiovascular health indicators.
• The program's success led to its expansion across France in 2018.
• VIVOPTIM holds significant potential to enhance patient care and optimize healthcare system organization.
