April 1, 2014

April 1, 2014 – Chicago, IL – Healthy Interactions, a leader in personal health engagement, has named Sid Misra as their new Vice President of Digital. Building on Healthy Interactions historical focus on live, in-person group discussions, Sid's leadership in digital product development will extend the patient experience beyond the "analog" group session and into ongoing, digital engagement with peers and healthcare professionals.

"We've made a tremendous impact to date on patients around the world—millions of people in over 120 countries have participated in our Conversation Map® sessions," said Paul Lasiuk, CEO of Healthy Interactions. "But until now, the post-session support was fairly limited. We are committed to extending our impact beyond the in-person experience to provide a platform for patients to engage in continued dialog, support, and information gathering and sharing with their peers and healthcare professionals to support their personal health engagement journey."

"I am excited about the opportunity to work with the team that has already delivered an innovative approach to diabetes self-management education," shares Mr. Misra. "This role is an opportunity to support healthy behavior change for persons managing their diabetes through digital means, giving them an opportunity to apply what they're learning and to continue learning wherever they are and whenever they need support. To be part of a team that is dedicated to improving the health of people around the world is extremely motivating and gratifying."

Mr. Misra brings a proven track record of delivering engaging, full-cycle software products from his nine years of development and product management experience with Electronic Arts where he worked on FIFA, NHL, NBA, UFC, and Plants vs Zombies console titles. In addition to leading innovative software initiatives, he has experience with building focused, cross-disciplinary teams who are motivated by executing against the product vision and delivering great consumer experiences. He holds a BEng in Computer Engineering from McGill University and an MBA from the Richard Ivey School of Business, University of Western Ontario.
