Adhera Health Research Spotlighted at ENDO 2025: Advancing AI-Driven Family-Centered Pediatric Care

We’re thrilled to share that three of Adhera Health’s research studies have been accepted for presentation at ENDO 2025, the annual meeting of the Endocrine Society and one of the world’s leading forums for endocrine innovation. Taking place this July in San Francisco, the event will spotlight how our work is reshaping pediatric chronic care through clinically grounded, AI-powered solutions that support not just the child - but the entire family.

Groundbreaking Research, Family-First Impact

At Adhera Health, our mission is rooted in one fundamental belief: pediatric care must be family-centered to be truly effective. The studies selected for ENDO 2025 dive into the emotional, behavioral, and systemic realities of families navigating three complex conditions:

• Growth Hormone Deficiency: A study revealing the deep interdependence between child and caregiver well-being.

• Type 1 Diabetes (T1D): Research examining how AI can help identify patterns in hypo- and hyperglycemic events to better support families.

• Childhood Obesity in Underserved Populations: A participatory initiative engaging Latino families to uncover cultural and systemic barriers, shaping more inclusive digital support tools.

“These insights are more than scientific findings - they’re the foundation of how we build technology that actually works for families,” said Ricardo C. Berrios, Co-Founder & CEO of Adhera Health. “We’re honored to share this work with the broader endocrine community at ENDO 2025.”

Powering the Future with Adhera AI Health Agents

These studies directly inform the development of the Adhera® AI Health Platform and our proprietary Adhera Health Agents - goal-oriented, autonomous AI companions built on Small Language Models (SLMs) and fueled by biopsychosocial family data. These agents are designed to support the entire care journey, offering timely, empathetic, and personalized guidance to families navigating chronic conditions.

“Our collaboration with Adhera Health shows how digital innovation must be both scientifically sound and human-centered,” said Dr. Antonio de Arriba Muñoz, Pediatric Endocrinologist at Hospital Universitario Miguel Servet.

Scaling Empathy and Science

As we scale nationally, these findings reinforce our belief that the next generation of healthcare tools must go beyond automation. They must understand, support, and connect—in ways that are equitable, emotionally intelligent, and clinically aligned.

“This is AI that doesn’t just think—it understands,” Berrios added. “It’s not just advanced, it’s deeply empathetic.”

Meet Connie Dovel: A Health & Wellness Coach Who Gets It

At Adhera Health, we believe that caring for a child with Type 1 diabetes takes more than clinical appointments - it takes everyday courage, emotional support, and a sense of being truly understood. That’s exactly what families find in Connie Dovel, one of the compassionate Health and Wellness Coaches behind the Adhera Caring Digital Program.

Connie’s role goes far beyond advice - it’s about connection, empathy, and empowerment. Here’s a closer look at what fuels her work and how she supports families navigating pediatric Type 1 diabetes.

A Lifelong Passion for Health - and a Personal Connection to T1D

Connie’s career in health and wellness spans personal training, nutrition counseling, and health promotion. With a Bachelor’s in Exercise Science, a Master’s in Health Promotion Management, and certifications in both personal training and health coaching, she brings deep knowledge to every coaching session.

But what makes her truly unique is that she’s walked this road herself:

“My oldest child was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at 11. I can empathize with and guide families because I’ve faced the same challenges they’re facing every single day.”

Coaching That’s Personal, Not One-Size-Fits-All

Through the Adhera app, Connie supports families with:

• One-on-one chat support

• Scheduled video sessions

Each conversation is tailored to a family’s unique concerns. Whether it’s navigating sports safely, managing picky eating, or adjusting insulin around busy schedules, Connie adapts to meet them where they are.

“Every interaction is different. There’s no script. Just a real conversation based on what that family needs right now.”

A Moment That Meant Everything

Connie recalls supporting a teen girl with T1D who was completely burned out and disengaged from her care.

“She had given up. Her parents were overwhelmed. We took small steps, little by little. Months later, she messaged me:
‘Thank you for believing in me when I didn’t believe in myself.’
That’s why I do this.”

Tools That Help Families Feel in Control

Connie often begins with goal setting - short-term, long-term, and everything in between. From mindfulness exercises to daily check-ins, each strategy is customized. And thanks to the app’s chat function, support fits into real life, not just a calendar.

“Families are busy. The digital connection means we don’t need to wait for a scheduled session. We can talk when it matters most.”

Inclusive, Accessible Support for Every Family

Connie works with families from all backgrounds. Her approach is grounded in respect, curiosity, and flexibility, with sensitivity to cultural, social, and emotional differences.

“It’s not just about what to eat or how to dose. It’s about listening - really listening - and working together to find what fits.”

Looking Ahead with Adhera Health

As someone who once wished for this kind of support herself, Connie is energized by where Adhera is headed:

“This concept is revolutionary. I wish something like this existed when my child was diagnosed. I’m honored to be part of it.”

Her advice to every caregiver?

“Take it one day at a time. Don’t be afraid to accept help. And remember—every small win matters.”
