Profile by Sanford opened locations in Texas, Kansas and Oklahoma in February, bringing the weight-management system’s store total to 22 across nine states.
New sites included Frisco, Texas; Wichita, Kansas; and Edmond, Oklahoma.
Profile, which opened its first store in Sioux Falls in 2012, was designed using a large body of clinical research to ensure a sustainable means to healthy weight loss. A clinical and scientific advisory board comprised of Sanford Health physicians and researchers oversaw the development of the Profile system. Sanford Health is the largest, rural, not-for-profit health care system in the United States.
The rapidly growing Profile system utilizes meal-replacement products, nutritionally complete food and qualified health coaches. In addition to members consuming both Profile-produced and grocery-store food, coaches develop customized plans for their clients and offer advice on nutrition, exercise and behavior.
Profile continues to focus on program advancements through the launch of new food products, including three new pizza varieties. Profile is also on the cutting edge of technology to better assist members with measuring daily activity. Jawbone UP24 activity trackers are integrated with the Profile app to track members’ movement and sleep patterns, allowing for additional measurable data to be gathered.
In addition to face-to-face meetings, coaches are able to efficiently track members’ progress through the use of other smart wireless technology. Each member is outfitted with wireless devices to measure improvement, including tools to track body weight, measurement and blood pressure. These devices automatically upload to a secure server, where members and coaches can monitor improvement on the web or mobile applications. Printed options are also available to members.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, nearly 70 percent of the U.S. adult population is considered overweight or obese.
