Transforming Obesity Care: How AI-Powered CME Is Revolutionizing Primary Care Communication

Nearly half of U.S. adults live with obesity, yet health care providers consistently report discomfort discussing weight management with patients. The France Foundation's breakthrough CaseCoach platform addresses this critical gap through evidence-based, AI-powered continuing medical education that is designed to support clinician communication skills. This is accomplished through an AI companion that lets clinicians practice realistic patient scenarios, receive tailored feedback, and build communication confidence in a stigma-free environment. 

What Sets CaseCoach Apart?

  • Simulated Case-Based Practice: Clinicians engage with realistic patient scenarios drawn from our signature “Curveball” learning sessions
  • Personalized Feedback: Instant, actionable coaching on motivational interviewing, shared decision-making, and guideline-based care
  • Empathy at the Core: Every interaction models judgement-free, patient-centered communication, helping clinicians build trust and confidence
  • Scalable, On-Demand Learning: No need to wait for conferences—CaseCoach brings expert coaching directly to busy primary care teams 

We strive to be at the forefront of medical innovation. Our goal with CaseCoach is to help clinicians go beyond simply treating obesity. We aim to support them in learning how to discuss it in ways that foster patient trust and promote better long-term outcomes. 

Impact for Clinicians 

CaseCoach is an AI-powered chatbot in continuing medical education (CME) designed to deliver on-demand, faculty-level coaching for obesity management. It’s not just technology for technology’s sake, it’s a human-centered innovation designed to provide: 

  • On-Demand, Personalized Coaching: Receive instant, tailored feedback that adapts to your responses, mirroring expert faculty guidance 
  • Opportunities to Build Confidence and Communication Skills: Practice challenging obesity conversations in a safe, supportive environment to strengthen your approach
  • Guidance on Utilizing Empathy to Reduce Stigma: Every interaction reinforces patient-centered, stigma-free communication, helping you foster trust and rapport
  • Feedback for Self-Reflection: Benefit from customized prompts and affirming feedback that encourage ongoing growth and skill development 

With AI-driven feedback now layered into both our impact publication and our interactive module, we’re delivering scalable, learner-centric education–and we’re just getting started. This is the future of continuing medical education: dynamic, data-informed, and human-centered. It’s not only an investment in innovation, but also an opportunity to empower clinicians at the exact moment they’re ready to advance their approach. CaseCoach is a tool designed to coach clinicians to say the right thing, the right way, at the right time.
