With the economic climate showing no signs of improvement, Web-based and telephonic health coaches will be more in demand than ever to help individuals manage medical and mental health conditions that may be aggravated by stress.

Click here for Melanie Matthews's profile.
“Traditional patient education methods are no longer enough to change health behaviors and improve health status. Faced with a growing number of individuals with comorbidities, the next generation of health coaches must be schooled in an integrated approach to health management and be ready to deliver coaching via emerging Web 2.0 technologies — when and where the individual wants it."
