Cardiovascular claims are a major healthcare cost driver. Now is the time to empower your members to take control of their heart health – and reduce high claims costs. There is a cost to doing nothing.
Proven: Peer-reviewed clinical studies and potential cost savings
Peer-reviewed study shows it works
A 3-year peer-reviewed study of 28,187 Hello Heart users conducted by UCSF and Hello Heart found (for members with baseline blood pressure over 140/90):
21 mmHg average reduction in systolic blood pressure over 3 years — a 2x improvement over 1 other digital health solution, which is the only one with available data.
84% reduced blood pressure and sustained it up to 3 years
Improved clinical outcomes translate to immediate cost savings in the first year, and a study by Validation Institute found that Hello Heart also drove greater utilization of low-cost primary and preventative care.
Study Findings:
$2,382 saved per member in year 1 total medical costs
