Meet Olaf: A Custom Metric Makes the Miracle

Meet Olaf (name changed for privacy). He is a 25 year old man with autism living at home with his parents. They joined Care3 as Premium Members to work on specific behaviors that Olaf exhibited, but needed to change.

The key behavior change was helping to manage Olaf’s caloric intake by understanding how much of his meals were eaten by percentage. To accomplish this, we created a custom metric “% Meal Plate Eaten” for Olaf’s parents to log and view trends.

And did that plan ever work. Olaf had been consuming too many calories and putting on significant weight. This weight gain also led to higher blood pressure. Working with Care3 led to multiple miracles for Olaf, but we feature one here.

Olaf’s Miracle: We helped Olaf’s family reduce his lunchtime caloric intake by 24% resulting in weight loss and lower blood pressure goals met in only six months. Now Olaf’s family can manage his intake for better lifelong behaviors and caloric consumption. What was once out of control now is under control and will lead to a healthier life for Olaf.

Olaf’s miracle wasn’t magic. It was made.
