Shahram Sharif, Chief Executive Officer at Liva Healthcare said: “Digital therapeutics can play a pivotal role in transforming people’s health. By leveraging behavioural science and interactive digital platforms, these tools can support individuals in adopting healthier lifestyles and so reducing risk factors for chronic diseases such as diabetes, obesity and other cardiovascular conditions. We’re thrilled we have the opportunity with Boots to scale our programmes.”
