The Campaign

Using a structured innovation process, we creatively reframed the way healthcare companies typically approach medical problems. We used a structured innovation process comprising: immersion, background, context/desk-research, deep primary user research to gather patient insights, exploration of potential ideas, rapid prototyping and development of content, co-creation with world-leading cardiologists, behavioural change scientists and partnership with existiing health/wellness solutions to develop and transformational service.

Creative Execution

Our primary research showed patients have no support immediately following a heart attack, and more importantly that the first four is crucial to stimulate behaviour change. During these 4 weeks, patients are highly motivated to make lifestyle changes which will reduce their change of having a second heart attack. After this period, they are far less likely to make changes. We partnered with Vida Health, a digital health coach start-up based in California. First we trained a team of dedicated heart health coaches, then we used their digital coaching app as a platform to connect these coaches with patients and to ditribute tailored content. AstraZeneca’s Day-by-Day offers a choice of personal health coaches, for one-on-one, totally tailored information and support.

In the first 4 weeks on the Day-by-Day programme: • patients interacted with their coaches 40 times a week on average • 60% of patients started a new exercise routine Based on data from previous studies, a rise in Patient Activation Measure (PAM) scores implies a 43% increase in medication adherence.

Following background and desk research for context, we focused on conducting extensive primary research with those personally affected after a heart attack. We journeyed across America, interviewing and working with seventy-five heart attack patients, caregivers and their families. Living and working with them for a month asking them to explain the effect their heart attack has has on their lives, complete diaries and exercise/fitness/diet logs. Using what we learned, we worked with world leading cardiologists to create unique content from animations to motivational messages all designed to encourage positive behavioural change and improve patient outcomes after a heart attack.
