2Morrow Awarded DiMe Seal, Recognized for Excellence in Digital Behavior Change

2Morrow has been named a recipient of the DiMe Seal, a new standard of excellence developed by the Digital Medicine Society (DiMe) in collaboration with Elevance Health. The Seal recognizes digital health software products  that meet rigorous standards for clinical strength, usability, privacy, and equity.

[Kirkland, WA - 6/3/2025] – 2Morrow has been named a recipient of the DiMe Seal, a new standard of excellence developed by the Digital Medicine Society (DiMe) in collaboration with Elevance Health. The Seal recognizes digital health software products  that meet rigorous standards for clinical strength, usability, privacy, and equity.

With over 337,000 digital health apps available globally, the need for clarity and quality assurance has never been greater. The DiMe Seal was created to provide healthcare leaders with a trusted signal, identifying solutions that are not only innovative, but also backed by meaningful evidence and ready for real-world impact.

“The DiMe Seal is helping redefine how digital health earns trust,” said Jo Masterson, CEO of 2Morrow. “We’re proud to be part of this movement toward greater transparency and rigor. At 2Morrow, we believe that behavior change tools should be grounded in science, accessible to all, and built to scale. This recognition affirms that approach and challenges all of us to keep raising the bar.”


Elevating Evidence-Based Digital Care

2Morrow’s Breathe Bundle - which includes programs for tobacco cessation, stress, weight, and personal goal setting - is the only multi-program solution of its kind recognized in the inaugural DiMe Seal cohort. Designed to support behavior change at scale, the programs are grounded in evidence-based approaches and principles drawn from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).

As part of the evaluation process, which included independent review and clinical input from Elevance Health, one of the nation’s largest payers, 2Morrow received a “Strong” recommendation for its clinical evidence. The assessment highlighted randomized trial results, a transparent evidence base, and strong usability across a broad range of populations.


Building a More Trusted Future in Digital Health

2Morrow is proud to be among the first companies to earn this designation and to stand alongside a diverse group of innovators working to define quality in digital health. According to the IQVIA Digital Health Trends 2024 report, only a small fraction of digital health solutions offer published evidence of clinical impact, making initiatives like the DiMe Seal increasingly vital to helping healthcare leaders make confident, informed decisions.

"The influx of innovative digital health software products in our healthcare system can transform how we deliver care, but healthcare leaders need a clear, reliable way to identify which solutions are ready to deliver impact," said Doug Mirsky, Vice President, DiMe Seal. "The DiMe Seal offers that clarity, and we're proud to help elevate organizations like 2Morrow that are building products that exemplify the evidence-backed, scalable innovation the healthcare system needs."

The DiMe Seal reflects a broader shift across the healthcare ecosystem: a demand for solutions that don’t just promise change, but can prove it. For organizations seeking digital programs that are practical, proven, and ready to implement, the Seal provides a new level of confidence.

2Morrow is Awarded $1.9 Million NIH Grant to Develop a Digital Therapeutic for Patients with Chronic Pain

2Morrow, an industry leader in providing evidence-based, digital health solutions focused on behavioral interventions for chronic conditions, has been awarded a $1.9 million National Institutes of Health (NIH) Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) grant.

2Morrow, an industry leader in providing evidence-based, digital health solutions focused on behavioral interventions for chronic conditions, has been awarded a $1.9 million National Institutes of Health (NIH) Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) grant. Funded by NIH’s Helping to End Addiction Long-term Initiative, or NIH HEAL Initiative, the grant will support the research and development of a new digital therapeutic for patients with chronic pain to be used in primary care settings.

In the U.S. alone, over 50 million individuals suffer from chronic pain, many of them dealing with the reality that they will be living with pain for the long term. New pain treatment guidelines from the CDC call for non-pharmacological and non-opioid treatments, including recommendation for behavioral intervention. However, treatment options have not kept up with patient and provider needs. 2Morrow aims to address this critical gap in care by developing a behavioral digital therapeutic for chronic pain that is effective, easy to prescribe and use, and results in improved quality of life and provider satisfaction for patients.

“When I started my career in nursing, I saw that medical care seldom incorporated behavioral support. Even with the move to more integrated care, most patients are not receiving mental, emotional, and behavioral support for living with challenging conditions,” said Principal Investigator Jo Masterson, co-founder and CEO of 2Morrow. “This grant expands on 2Morrow’s previous work by funding critical R&D using digital therapeutics to increase access to behavioral health for those living with pain.”

Research partners at the University of Washington in Seattle have conducted two studies during Phase I of the grant project and are preparing for an upcoming clinical trial. “Patients suffering from chronic pain need better access to scientifically tested behavioral treatments that help them improve how they function and ultimately, improve the quality of their lives,” said Dr. Kari Stephens, Research Section Head in Family Medicine, University of Washington School of Medicine. “Testing digital therapeutics will help us learn whether mobile app-based technologies can offer an effective way to deliver this kind of care.”

This award is funded by the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH) and National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) of the NIH under award number R44AT011593.

Smoking Is Still the #1 Preventable Cause of Death and Disease—Here’s What Employers Can Do About It

One of a company’s most important assets is its employees. Companies invest a significant amount of time and money (in excess of $4,400) to recruit, train, develop, and retain each team member.

One of a company’s most important assets is its employees. Companies invest a significant amount of time and money (in excess of $4,400) to recruit, train, develop, and retain each team member.
