ProPatient and ACHL Team Up to Produce Interactive Patient Education for Overactive Bladder
Hillsborough, NC, October 25, 2016 (Newswire.com) - ProPatient, a provider of interactive online patient education tools is teaming up with leading accredited medical education provider, the Academy for Continued Healthcare Learning (ACHL), to develop a unique and interactive online resource to support and inform people dealing with Overactive Bladder (OAB).
OAB is a collection of urinary issues that affects millions of Americans. It can have a profound impact on people’s daily lives by interrupting their sleep and making travel, work, and social gatherings a challenge. “People often struggle with OAB silently. We want them to realize that there are treatments for this condition and that they can get help,” writes David Hadden, ProPatient’s Co-Founder and Chief Game Changer. “This program creates a highly interactive experience for patients. It’s like a simulated conversation with a virtual doctor. Actual doctor visits are rarely long enough to get all our questions answered, so this program can help fill in the gaps.”
