2Morrow and Spring Health Collaborate to Enhance Tobacco Cessation Support For Spring Health Customers

[Kirkland, WA] – 2Morrow, a leading provider of tobacco cessation solutions today announces its partnership with Spring Health, the most comprehensive global mental health solution for employers and health plans. The collaboration will look to support employees in quitting cigarette and tobacco use while addressing the inter-related physical and mental health care challenges related to these addictions.

Tobacco use affects 1 in 5 adults and smoking and tobacco use causes 480,000 premature deaths annually. It exceeds $220 billion in direct medical care costs and $156 billion in lost productivity. Those struggling with mental health disorders and illnesses frequently also use tobacco products. This addiction is often tied to other substance use disorders including excessive alcohol use. 

Spring Health has integrated 2Morrow's behavioral-based cessation program into the Spring Health platform to offer a comprehensive, evidence-based solution that addresses tobacco cessation from a whole-person perspective, while also addressing related concerns like stress, weight management, and goal setting. Individuals will be able to address concurrent mental health needs with a Spring Health Therapist while engaging with the behavioral change strategies that result in the industry's strongest improvements to members' mental health outcomes while delivering on Spring's ROI commitments to its customers. Supporting employees and their dependents in their journeys to quit smoking and tobacco use both enhances mental and physical health and delivers an average annual savings of $5,800 per employee.

Jo Masterson, CEO at 2Morrow, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership, stating, "We are thrilled to partner with Spring Health, a company that understands the behavioral complexities of nicotine addiction. While 2Morrow's clinically tested programs already blend behavioral science, coaching, and NRT to aid quitting, this collaboration enables our coaches to seamlessly connect participants with additional mental health services. This expanded support empowers individuals ready to create positive life changes."

Dr. Millard Brown, Chief Medical Officer at Spring Health, emphasized the significance of this partnership, saying, "Science Will Win is one of our core values at Spring Health.

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. 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.
