Welldoc believes that partnership is the pathway to better management of chronic conditions. Digital health solutions do not work in a silo and data and insights should be integrated into care models to support optimized interventions and clinical decisions. The Welldoc platform includes a digital ecosystem that allows for user coaching and support along with remote monitoring and tracking of patients. In addition, the platform includes integrated patient population management tools, dashboards and analytics.
Backed by Evidence and Clinical Rigor
Welldoc’s platform holds 510(k) FDA-Clearances for BlueStar®* to enable more complex diabetes management. In addition, Welldoc has over 60 clinical publications and posters and holds 31 patents for our technology and platform features. Welldoc boasts strong economic and clinical outcomes in randomized, controlled clinical trials and in real-world experience.
Extensive research has shown:
- Average cost savings of $3,048-$3,252/person with Type 2 diabetes, annually [1]
- A 1.2-2.0 point mean A1C reduction in individuals living with type 2 diabetes [2,3]
- 7.4 - 12 mmHg Drop in blood pressure in the first 3 months of use [4]
- Welldoc currently has a Net Promoter Score (NPS), a standard gauge of digital health customer satisfaction of ~70.1. Individuals engage with the app an average of ~30 times per week [5]
Digital Coaching
Welldoc offers 1:1 asynchronous chat capabilities, two-way messaging, and live video meeting capabilities directly through our application. We enable this functionality for use by our clients’ Care Management teams, allowing them to function most efficiently in data-driven interventions that prioritize the members most in need.
Welldoc is a device-agnostic solution. The Welldoc platform connects to over 400 devices and data sources, including CGM, blood glucose meters, scales, blood pressure devices, fitness trackers, pharmacy and clinical laboratory data. Given Welldoc's device-agnostic approach, preferred supplies/consumable products are dictated and provided by the client. Welldoc can configure the app to support device/supply ordering functionality from within the application if so desired. This also prevents any interference with existing formulary strategies.
Integration into care models
Our Welldoc platform can push notifications, alerts, and reports to care team members and providers within their existing workflows with integration into their EMR or care management platform. Welldoc is capable of sending and receiving data to health systems. Integration details are handled at implementation. Welldoc has existing partnerships with Xealth and Redox to support technical integrations in line with your requirements. We will partner with you to develop and execute an integration approach that can seamlessly fit into your care model and support remote patient monitoring and tracking.
Client Success and Engagement Program
Welldoc also offers full client success and engagement support as part of our offerings to support outreach, awareness building, user activation, and overall engagement with our solution. We can work directly with you to build and execute a comprehensive, multi-channel campaign and communications approach in line with your program objectives and criteria. We have created an approach to support every part of the member journey:
