Osara Health partners with Medibank to offer cancer coaching program
Starting on October 14, eligible Medibank members in Australia diagnosed with cancer will have access to one-on-one health coaching through Osara Health's Cancer Coach program. This initiative aims to support individuals dealing with the physical and emotional challenges of their diagnosis and treatment by providing personalized guidance from trained exercise physiologists. The partnership is expected to benefit over 4 million Medibank customers, subject to eligibility criteria. The six- to twelve-week remote coaching program includes access to an app and educational resources even after the coaching period ends. Osara Health's approach has been validated by peer-reviewed research showing improvements in both physical and mental health outcomes for participants. Both Dr Raghav Murali-Ganesh, CEO of Osara Health, and Dr Paul Eleftheriou, Chief Medical Officer at Medibank, emphasized the importance of support beyond hospital visits. The program complements existing medical care by addressing everyday challenges faced by cancer patients.
