Smartpatient and Novo Nordisk Expand Patient Support Partnership Across Additional Treatment Formats

The expansion builds on a digital obesity care program launched in 2025 and extended to Type 2 diabetes earlier in 2026

Key Takeaways

Munich, Germany, September 02, 2026

Smartpatient and Novo Nordisk are expanding their patient support partnership in Germany to include an additional treatment format, building on their established digital patient support program.

The partnership began in 2025 with the launch of a joint digital obesity care program in Germany. It expanded to Type 2 diabetes earlier in 2026 and now extends the established obesity care program across treatment formats.

This continued expansion reflects a patient support model designed to adapt as treatment options and patient needs evolve. For people living with obesity, the addition of a new treatment format is intended to extend an established support experience.  

For pharma teams, the partnership illustrates how a digital support model can grow across conditions and formats while keeping patients at the center.

This expansion shows how a patient support partnership can grow with changing treatment needs. Together with Novo Nordisk, we are extending an established obesity care program across treatment formats while keeping continuity at the center of the patient experience.
