Munich, Germany, September 17, 2025
Smartpatient, the digital health company behind the MyTherapy platform, and Novo Nordisk, a global leader in chronic disease management, today announced the launch of a pioneering digital support program designed for people living with obesity in Germany.
The collaboration, initiated in spring 2025, introduces a new model of coordinated care that aims to empower patients throughout their entire treatment journey. The program integrates treatment support, lifestyle coaching, and personalized education into a seamless digital pathway, enabling patients to turn therapies into lasting routines. Gamification strategies strengthen motivation, while privacy-preserving analytics provide real-world evidence to continuously refine the program and improve health outcomes.
By combining Novo Nordisk's leadership in obesity care with smartpatient’s closed-loop digital health ecosystem, this initiative establishes a new benchmark for patient activation and sustained adherence. Real-world insights gathered through the program allow for ongoing optimization and demonstrate measurable improvements for patients.
At smartpatient, our goal is to transform treatment plans into sustainable routines that fit real life. Our partnership with Novo Nordisk shows how digital ecosystems can drive meaningful change for people living with obesity—delivering measurable impact far beyond weight loss.
