PROGRAMS

Courses for Hight Blood Pressure, Diabetes, and General Health contain a total of 24 lessons. Ideally, you would complete one lesson per week for a total of 6 months. However, each program is self-paced, so it could take more than 6 months to complete a course if you do not maintain a pace of completing one lesson every week. Typically, courses are completed by most users in 6-9 months.

Courses cannot be completed in less than 6 months. Every lesson has a 7-day time parameter. This is intended to give you at least one week to focus on the topic and complete the action steps. When you start a new lesson (Day 1), the countdown automatically begins. After seven days have passed, you’ll be able to submit that week’s ASR. Why is it set up this way? Building healthy habits takes time. If you rush through each lesson, it is very unlikely you will create habits that last. Research has revealed that it takes, on average, between 2 and 8 months to adopt and maintain a healthier lifestyle.

All of the Health Conscious courses focus on lifestyle medicine and behavior modification. The High Blood Pressure and Diabetes programs are more condition-specific and help individuals who face the day-to-day challenges posed by those conditions. The General Health program was created to help individuals who haven’t been diagnosed with a chronic condition but want to prevent disease or create healthier habits in general. These three programs also include group coaching as an added benefit, but it is recommended and not mandatory.

Technically, the answer is yes. However, each active account must have a unique email address and phone number associated with it. You cannot create a new account using the same information unless we permanently delete your account and all saved data. If you wish to start over using the same email address or phone number, please contact us at:

Currently, the only way to change your course is to deactivate your current subscription and create a new account. Please keep in mind that you are not able to use the same telephone number or username/email twice. In order to create a new account you will need to use a different email address and cell phone number.

Video lessons contain educational content pertaining to each topic. The first step in each new lesson is to watch the video. Each week, the video serves as a trusted source for guidance, as well as encouragement before you begin the new action steps. The length of each video varies, but on average range from 10 to 20 minutes. Keep in mind, you can rewatch videos as often as you’d like, and we encourage you to do so if a topic is unclear or you need to refresh your understanding later in the program.

Building good habits is similar to building a skyscraper. You must first create a solid and strong foundation and then build up over time. Oftentimes, the hardest part is remembering to do them week after week. The purpose of the Building Habits section is to help you keep track of the healthy habits you are working on, while also serving as a weekly reminder after you have moved forward to the next lesson. The Physical, Nutritional, and Introspective habits each build upon one another so that over time, you become more equipped to solidify certain habits like regular exercise and good nutrition.

Currently, the responses for Building Habits cannot be edited once you click Submit. Keep in mind that this habit tracking functionality is for you to track habit formation progress. The scores are not cumulative; meaning that each week, you will have a new opportunity to assess your habits and how they may have changed. If you forgot to log something, such as exercise, we recommend adding the data to your Journal to keep record of it.

Your Health Monitor is a convenient way to record and track vital health information while you complete a course. There are four areas you can track: Blood Pressure, Blood Sugar, Weight, and Stress Level. Every time you enter data into your monitor, it will calculate the percent change from the last reported value as well as an overall percent change. Enter data as often as possible, as this will give you the most accurate measurements of your overall progress. As you enter data, you are able to view all of your entries as a list and as a graph.

If you are unable to submit your ASR, there are only two circumstances that will prevent you from moving forward. The first one is a blank required field. All required fields must be filled out in order to submit the ASR. The second circumstance is that it has been less than 7 days since you began the lesson.

If your next lesson is still locked, there are two situations that will prevent you from moving forward. The first one is that the ASR has not been submitted and evaluated. The second circumstance is that the Building Habits have not been submitted. Both the ASR and Building Habits for each lesson must be completed before the next lesson will be available.

SIGN UPS, SUBSCRIPTIONS, AND MY ACCOUNT

The 4-digit code is a text message used to verify the mobile number you provided during sign-up. You must be able to access text messages on the smartphone that is linked to the number you entered. If you used a home or office telephone number that is not linked to SMS messaging, you will not be able to receive the verification code. Also, confirm that the cell phone number you provided is correct. Use the ‘Resend’ code functionality if the number provided is correct. Remember to make sure that you have service and that you are able to receive text (SMS) messages.

Subscription settings can only be accessed by logging into your Health Conscious account using a web browser such as Chrome, Firefox, or Safari. Please note: you will not be able to make any changes to your subscription in the mobile app. Visit healthco.app to log in. After you have logged in, click on your username/email address at the top of the page in the upper right hand corner. When the dropdown menu expands, click Settings. Next, click on Billing. In the Subscription Details card, make the necessary changes and then click Next. After you have made the changes, click Confirm.

After setting a subscription amount, you will see two different checkboxes: Charge this same amount each month and I want to choose my payment every month. When you select the ‘Charge this same amount each month’ option, you will be charged the amount you set each month until you make changes to your subscription amount. For example, if you set the price to $20.00 per month in January you will also be charged $20.00 in February, $20.00 in March, and so on.

When you select the ‘I want to choose my payment every month’ option you will be sent a reminder before the end of every billing cycle. Please keep in mind that if you do not choose a payment amount before the next billing cycle, you will be charged the same amount as the previous month’s payment. For example, if you chose a price of $35.00 in May, and you choose to disregard the reminder, you will be charged $35.00 for June. Our recommended subscription price is $20.00/month. However, we offer you the option to pay what you feel this platform is worth to you.

MOBILE APP AND WEB APP

The Health Conscious platform includes both a web app and a companion mobile app. The web app is accessed through a web browser such as Safari, Chrome, Firefox, etc. on a computer or tablet. The mobile app is accessed by downloading the app from one of the app stores onto your smartphone.

The web app has two additional features that the mobile app does not have: Subscription Settings and the Video Library. These two screens are only visible when you log in to your account through a web browser. Essentially, the mobile app allows you to take your course, health monitor, and the community wherever you go, whether you’re running errands or traveling abroad.

There are two possible reasons why you are unable to access the video library. The first one is that you are using the platform from the mobile app on your smartphone. At this time, the videos in the library can only be viewed when you are logged into your Health Conscious account through a web browser, such as Safari, Firefox, or Google Chrome.

The second reason is that you are not actively subscribed to a paid course. The video library will only be available during your 14-day free trial or when you have a paid membership. The free Community Plan does not include access to the video library. If you would like to access the videos, visit your billing preferences in the web browser and activate an Action Plan membership.

To log in to the web app, please visit healthco.app. The username and password will be the same as you created on the mobile app. If this is your first time joining and you have not downloaded the mobile app, you must first create a new account. Click on the ‘Sign Up’ link. Once you have entered your information and created an account, you can then use your email/username and password to log in.

After you have created your Health Conscious account on our website, please visit Google Play or the App Store on your smartphone or tablet and download the Health Conscious by Evolve app. Once the app is installed, you can use your email and password to log in.

Please contact us at support@healthco.app, and we will respond within 24 to 48 hours.
