Lauren Gresham didn’t go the traditional route—and that’s what made her work innovative.

She skipped med school and built a coaching model grounded in education, access, and culture.

Digital Mental Health Coaching in Clinically Diverse Populations: Controlled Engagement and Outcomes Study Background: Digital coaching programs, offering virtually-delivered mental health care by coaches and companion apps, are an increasingly popular care model designed to increase accessibility and reduce strain on traditional mental health care systems. Initial studies suggest these programs can produce a range of positive mental health outcomes; however, methodological limitations and a focus on homogenous, subclinical populations have constrained conclusions about their effectiveness, especially in diverse and clinically severe samples. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the impact of an evidence-based digital mental health coaching program in a clinically and demographically diverse sample. The study compared engagement with app-based content and changes in depression, anxiety, and stress symptoms, over the course of one month, among users who received coaching versus those who used the app alone (controls). Methods: Program users (N=64) were categorized as coaching users (attending at least one session) or controls (app-only users). Depression, anxiety, and stress symptoms were assessed using the DASS-21 at baseline and after 30 days. Engagement with app content was also measured. Between-group differences were analyzed using t-tests and mixed ANOVA models. Results: Participants were diverse in terms of demographics and clinical severity, with half reporting severe to extremely severe depression and nearly half reporting severe to extremely severe anxiety and/or stress at baseline. Coaching users demonstrated significantly greater reductions in depression, anxiety, and stress compared to controls, with moderate to large effect sizes. Engagement with app-based content did not significantly differ between the groups, suggesting coaching’s effectiveness was not contingent on differential app usage. Conclusions: This study demonstrates that digital mental health coaching can significantly improve clinical outcomes, even in diverse and clinically severe populations. These findings challenge the notion that coaching is only effective for subclinical or high-functioning individuals and highlight its potential to extend the reach of mental health care to underserved communities.

AI-Enabled, Text-Based Health Coaching and Navigation for Employees to Support Health Outcomes: Pre-Post Observational Study Background: Limited, timely access to quality mental health treatment harms well-being and quality of life while costing individuals and organizations millions in increased medical spending and reduced productivity. Too few qualified professionals, inconsistent quality, and stigma thwart traditional solutions, creating the need for scalable, science-based solutions. Objective: This report provides an overview of a novel digital health coaching service that consists of AI-assisted, human-delivered, text-based health coaching. This report provides data evaluating the efficacy of this service for delivering mental health support, improving well-being, and enhancing workplace productivity. Methods: This observational study analyzed operational and self-reported health data from employees of subscribing organizations who used Sibly’s digital health coaching service. Data included response times, changes in expressed member sentiment, conversation topics, and adherence to motivational interviewing (MI). A subset of members (N = 38) provided pre-post self-reported assessment measures of distress, unhealthy days, and presenteeism, having engaged in at least four coaching conversations over a minimum of 14 days. Sentiment was evaluated using a natural language processing tool. Results: Sibly provided quick access to interactive human coaching, with a median response time of 132 seconds. Sentiment analysis showed that 57% of conversations increased in positive emotions. The coaches maintained strong fidelity to the techniques of MI, with adherence exceeding 90%. The proportion of users reporting severe distress declined from 33% at baseline to 7% at follow-up, representing a 79% relative reduction (p

Implementation, Challenges, and Outlook of an Intergenerational, Layperson-led, Health Coaching Program (HealthStart): A Pilot Case Study Background: As rapidly aging populations become a worldwide phenomenon, early detection and prompt management of chronic disease become essential to support healthy aging. Community-based health screenings, a key component of this strategy, often struggle with poor follow-up rates, limiting their long-term impact. Given the untapped potential of youth volunteers and the urgent need for a scalable approach to improve continuity of care post health screenings, we developed HealthStart: a structured, theory-based programme that empowers these older adults to take greater ownership of their health and their chronic conditions with the support of youth community health volunteers (youth CHVs). Objective: We describe the development, implementation, and early outcomes of HealthStart – an intergenerational, layperson-led health coaching programme – and summarize operational lessons to guide similar models in Asian communities. Methods: HealthStart adopted an intergenerational service-learning approach modelled on a self-determination theory-based layperson-led health coaching framework. Each HealthStart team consisted of one healthcare volunteer (HCV) and four youth CHVs. All volunteers underwent blended training and were assessed for layperson-led health coaching readiness. Between September 2022 and June 2023 in Singapore, youth CHVs empowered adult participants aged 40 years and older after their health screening to: (1) learn about their chronic diseases; (2) learn at least one digital health application; (3) enrol with a primary care provider; and (4) set a lifestyle goal (based on the SMART framework for goal setting) and achieve it. We employed an implementation-focused case study design using deszcriptive statistics and volunteer–participant feedback to evaluate #feasibility and outcomes. Results: Of 243 eligible individuals, 192 enrolled. Participants had a mean age of 67±9.6 years; 52% female; with majority of Chinese ethnicity, completed primary or secondary school education, resided in self-owned flats, and in 3-room public housing. Follow up rate with primary care increased from 42.7% (82/148) pre-programme to 84.5% (125/148) post-programme (χ2 = 43, p < 0.001). 58 HCVs were recruited, comprising 26 nurses, 6 doctors with the remainder as allied health professionals. A total of 33 were trained and deployed. The mean age of HCVs was 37 years old and 24 (72.7%) were female. 149 youth CHVs were recruited, 138 trained and 102 deployed. The mean age of the youth CHVs who were deployed was 24 years, and 75 (73.5%) were female. Reflections included the importance of volunteer competency and selection criteria, tiering of participant intervention, tapping on community assets, adoption of a social prescription framework, importance of alignment with population health policies, and cultivating intergenerational relationships. Conclusions: HealthStart demonstrates the #feasibility and acceptability of a structured, intergenerational, layperson-led health coaching model embedded in primary care. We identify key lessons learned in the conceptualization and implementation of the programme that may inform the design of similar volunteer-enabled initiatives for harnessing laypersons, an often-underutilized asset, to promote health in the community.
