HOBOKEN, N.J.--()--Today, SilverCloud Health, a global provider of online behavioral and wellness solutions, and Wiley, one of the world’s most well respected providers of education, medical and psychological information for professionals, patients, researchers and students alike, announced a strategic partnership. The partnership will see the creation of a comprehensive range of therapeutic programs across behavioral health and long-term chronic disease management to be delivered via SilverCloud Health’s award-winning cloud-based technology platform.

The first set of programs, to be released in 2015, will address Generalized Anxiety Disorder and Diabetes, conditions that affect more than 40 million people in the United States on a daily basis alone.

The partnership will enable SilverCloud to rapidly expand its existing program library across both areas.

According to Ken Cahill, SilverCloud Health’s CEO, “We are delighted to announce this strategic partnership with Wiley. The integration of behavioral health and physical chronic disease management remains a complex process for clinicians and patients, and SilverCloud recognizes the need to provide tailored programs across multiple condition areas. The global acknowledgement of Wiley’s high quality and efficacious content makes them an ideal content partner for SilverCloud Health.”

Wiley is the pre-eminent provider of evidence-based psychological and wellness content around the world. Wiley chose SilverCloud Health to expand their digital strategy across the healthcare industry because SilverCloud Health brings powerful online technology, an impressive array of successful partnerships and deeply committed leadership to the global market for healthcare.

“We continue to execute our digital strategy by developing partnerships that will offer long-term high-value solutions to professional communities using our expert content. Our partnership with SilverCloud Health will facilitate those dealing with behavioral health challenges and physical chronic diseases management, such as diabetes, to have easy access to expert resources to help them manage their conditions,” said Joan O’Neil, Vice President and Managing Director of Knowledge Services at Wiley.
