EXI – a Software as a Medical Device has launched its first Exercise is Medicine® (EIM) deployment alliances.

EXI stands for exercise intelligence, and is part of the emerging field of digital therapeutics, which supports professionals to prescribe and refer patients to exercise appropriately, and individuals with long-term health conditions to safely increase their physical activity. It’s designed for up to 23 comorbid physical and mental health conditions, including prevalent and serious noncommunicable diseases such as obesity, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, hypertension, stroke, asthma, COPD, depression, anxiety and stress.

Freedom Aquatic & Fitness Center, located onsite at George Mason University Science & Technology campus in Manassus, Virginia, with a specialist team that delivers EIM in the community and via health provider referrals, and Logan Health, a Montana healthcare system offering EIM programs through its medical fitness center in Kalispell, Montana, will be the first facilities to deploy EIM using EXI’s digital platform.

Both initiatives recently went live, identifying patients across multiple hospital departments and health conditions to be onboarded into EXI. EXI was appointed as strategic partner to the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM)'s EIM program in January – the first tech platform to incorporate EIM protocols.

A Class 1 medical device, EXI draws on the latest clinical evidence for behavioral science and exercise – including ACSM/EIM physical activity guidelines – to prescribe personalized, intensity-based physical activity that is safe and achievable for people with long-term health conditions and comorbidities. It then engages, guides and motivates each patient through a progressive prescription, offering a choice of suitable activities, tracking progress and providing behavior change support – including rewards for achieving personal goals – to engage patients in their prescription, drive adherence and encourage sustained physical activity.
