SAN FRANCISCO, June 20, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Building on
the company's pioneering approach to digital behavior change, Omada
Health today announced the availability of new programs that will
help individuals control type 2 diabetes and hypertension. Adding
to Omada's industry-leading diabetes prevention program, the
company will now offer integrated condition management programs for
enterprise and health plan customers, significantly expanding the
populations Omada serves. Leveraging seven years of data-driven
insights; integration experience with hundreds of health plan and
employer customers; and a proven approach to sustainable lifestyle
change, Omada will now provide personalized interventions for those
at-risk for, or with, certain obesity-related chronic
conditions.
"Since the early days of the company, we've developed Omada to
be an adaptable program that delivers meaningful health outcomes
for participants, and return on investment for customers," said
Omada Health CEO Sean Duffy.
"Today's announcement is the next step in that journey. Clients,
partners, and participants want a holistic digital healthcare
provider built on clinical evidence, best-in-class user experience,
and validated results. As we deliver new programs and features,
Omada will continue to help our customers manage the health of
their populations, as well as their healthcare spending."
In addition to the new condition management programs,
Omada is leveraging industry-leading data science and expert
coaching to support participants in new ways - adding features for
medication adherence and integrating remote monitoring for glucose
and blood pressure. The company will continue to contract as a
digital healthcare provider, filing medical claims with billing
tied to participation and outcomes. The Omada program will adapt to
each participant based on his or her:
- Demographic profile;
- Clinical profile, including comorbidities and multiple
conditions;
- Self-identified personal barriers to success;
- Individual actions once enrolled in the program; and
- Use of connected glucometer and blood pressure cuff
"Omada delivers evidence-based behavior change by combining
digitally-enabled coaching and clinical fidelity with sophisticated
data science," said Omada VP of Medical Affairs Carolyn Bradner
Jasik, MD, "We will now bring that expertise to the challenging
areas of medication adherence and remote monitoring through an
extensible, flexible platform that treats the whole person -- not
just a single piece of their diagnosis."
A recent industry report by Willis
Towers Watson illustrated the employer need, as 76 percent
surveyed planned to invest in specific clinical solutions to
diabetes to improve member health and reduce costs in 2019. The
same survey reported 84 percent of companies will seek to identify
and manage population chronic conditions across their workforce.
Recent estimates place the total cost of diabetes at $327 billion annually, and high blood pressure at
$131 billion per year.
