Obesity affects over 800 million people worldwide, and the numbers are growing. It’s a complex, chronic condition — but the healthcare industry isn’t treating it that way.

In this deep dive, you'll discover: 💰 Strategies for payers to reduce cost-of-care through whole-health approaches that address obesity's comorbidities. 💡 Insights for life sciences partners on leveraging digital health to differentiate brands and maximize clinical outcomes. 🚀 How digital therapeutics like Sidekick can support sustainable lifestyle changes, enhancing adherence and persistence.

“In five years, we’ll look back and wonder how we ever delivered care without these tools.” In a recent episode of Impulse - Meeting Healthcare Pioneers, Sidekick Health CEO Tryggvi Thorgeirsson, MD, MPH joined host Mathieu Chaffard to discuss how we are transforming healthcare with our approach to digital health. With a unique blend of behavioral science, AI-driven personalization, and continuous support, our platform brings healthcare into people’s hands, making it easier to navigate complex treatments and stay connected with care teams. "By focusing on daily interactions that support real change, we’re seeing impacts like reduced ER visits, fewer treatment drop-offs, and significant improvements in quality of life for patients managing serious conditions," adds Tryggvi. 🎧 Listen to the full conversation here: https://lnkd.in/ePf-YVZF #DigitalHealth #PatientEmpowerment #HealthcareInnovation #BehavioralScience #AIinHealthcare #ChronicCare #HealthTech #FutureOfHealthcare #SidekickHealth #ImpulsePodcast #Podcast #ListenNow

Unlocking care team efficiency is one of many levers health plans can pull to drive greater member engagement and better health outcomes. Our most advanced AI-enabled Sidekick Health #careportal delivers a 🚀 25% increase 🚀 in care team efficiency for administrative tasks — meaning care teams can spend more time where it matters. And when care teams can spend more of their time caring for members, engagement, satisfaction, and outcomes can all improve, too. Get a deep dive into our approach to driving engagement that delivers outcomes: https://lnkd.in/g9m--P49 #digitalhealth #careteam #efficiency #innovation #healthcare
Engagement drives outcomes: At HLTH USA last week, US payers emphasized the necessity of improving care team efficiency and engagement to improve member outcomes. Sonny Goyal at Blue Cross NC captured this perfectly in his ‘Value’s Competitive Edge’ session. He underscored the importance of reaching the right members, at the right time, to achieve impact at scale. Kelly Gooch at Becker's Healthcare had the same sentiment in her recent article, highlighting how digital health solutions are cutting time-consuming admin tasks, freeing care teams to focus on what really matters: compassionate care at the moment of need. At Sidekick Health, we’re fully committed to this mission. A great example of this is our upcoming release of our most advanced Care Portal yet, designed to improve care team efficiency by up to 25%. By reducing administrative burdens, we're creating space for deeper, more meaningful member engagement. This progress is driven by our AI-enabled Care Management capabilities and the seamless integration of our multi-condition programs into existing payer workflows. We’re all in to unlock a radically different future for leading payers and their members.

We are pleased to share that our Clinical Lead for R&D, Andy Grannell, will be representing Sidekick Health at the Danish Association for the Study of Obesity (DASO) Annual Meeting on November 1-2, 2024, in Nyborg, Denmark. Andy will be joining a distinguished lineup of international experts, presenting on an essential topic: "Reframing the Need for Exercise Therapy in the Clinical Management of People Living with Obesity". At Sidekick Health, we believe that treating obesity requires an appreciation for the biology of the disease. There is a need to rethink the role of lifestyle therapy as a tool for sustainable long term health gain. Our focus is on empowering individuals to implement lifestyle changes as a standalone therapy or alongside pharmacotherapy and bariatric surgery. We’re excited to be part of this important dialogue on obesity management, contributing our perspective on the role of digital health and behavior change to improve outcomes for people living with obesity. #obesityresearch #digitalhealth #behavioralmodification #exercisephysiology #obesitymanagement #SidekickHealth #DSAF #obesityconference2024
