America is aging. How can we ensure our seniors are living their best lives?

After years of living with high blood pressure and Type 2 diabetes, Dianne C. decided to join Ochsner Digital Medicine. Since enrollment in the program, she has seen remarkable results. Her blood sugar levels improved, her blood pressure controlled and her quality of life transformed. Her better health allows her to thrive in retirement, enjoying hobbies like sewing, camping and spending time with loved ones.

Cardiometabolic conditions such as high blood pressure and Type 2 diabetes are common in the older population, leading to higher medical costs and a diminished quality of life. A study cited by the National Institutes of Health reports that the prevalence of cardiovascular disease is around 78% for those aged 60 – 79 years.

Ochsner Digital Medicine offers a proactive solution tailored to improve chronic disease management and support healthier and more fulfilling later years.

Dianne’s experience is just one of many. Ochsner Digital Medicine provides a clinically proven approach that empowers members and delivers measurable benefits for health plans.

How Digital Medicine Brings Value

Ochsner Digital Medicine stands above other digital-based solutions by combining technology with personalized care to better manage the conditions that drive healthcare costs.

1. Proactive Monitoring and Intervention
   Members use digital devices to track blood pressure and glucose from home.  Ochsner clinicians remotely monitor these readings and will intervene early if a member’s health trends off course, reducing the need for costly acute care.
2. Personalized Support for Better Outcomes
   The clinician can make medication adjustments as needed, while professional health coaches provide lifestyle coaching. Members gain the accountability they need to make meaningful health changes.
3. Cost Savings for Health Plans
   Healthier members mean fewer hospital visits and lower healthcare costs. For example, our proven results demonstrate a 45% decrease in ER visits among members with hypertension. Ochsner Digital Medicine helps health plans address the specific needs of Medicare-aged members.
