Welldoc’s comprehensive chronic care platform provides multi-condition support across diabetes, pre-diabetes, hypertension, and heart failure with integrated behavioral health support. Wellness, nutrition counseling and lifestyle management are all core to our solution. Welldoc’s flagship product, BlueStar®*, an FDA-cleared digital health solution, guides individuals through the complicated journey of living with diabetes by enabling them to self-manage their care while enhancing connections to their healthcare team.

The Welldoc Platform is integrated in a way that builds upon current chronic care programs rather than duplicating or replacing existing services. Welldoc will provide an overview of their differentiated approach to digital health in chronic care and share their clinical data, demonstrating the opportunity to engage members beyond traditional care, with AI-driven, personalized digital coaching and ultimately drive overall chronic care program quality, efficiencies and value.

Our platform includes:

• An AI-driven digital coaching app providing personalized, actionable guidance throughout an individual's chronic care journey
• Reporting and workflow integration enables care teams to easily access data insights to inform clinical interventions and decisions
• A Management Portal providing care management with enhanced population-level health data and analysis

New technologies, devices and therapeutics have brought great benefits to people with chronic conditions. But remote health can only be effective when patients, alone 24/7, comply with their treatment programs.

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.

Chronic conditions do not happen in silos. The Welldoc platform is built to provide personalized digital health support across cardiometabolic co-morbidities — through one connected chronic care hub — that seamlessly integrates into patients’ lives, existing clinical systems, and workflows based on your business needs. The Welldoc approach has the flexibility to deploy co-branded and white-labeled solutions for a seamless branded experience. If you have existing digital health assets, we offer Single Sign-On (SSO) integration to authenticate from your digital solution into our mobile application. We have also developed Software Development Kit (SDK) and API (Application Programming Interface) capabilities that enable you to build the Welldoc platform features and functionality directly into your digital assets.

There are multiple benefits to Welldoc 510 K clearance and regulatory capabilities:

• Efficacy: A class II medical device is often cleared along with clinical data and comes with indications for use, which helps target the use of the SaMD product in the right intended audience and discourages off-label use.
• Device and Ecosystem Interoperability: FDA-clearance is a necessary factor in determining whether products can collect data directly from connected diabetes devices, such as BGM, CGM, and pumps. Real-time access to CGM can only be done between an iCGM (class II) and equivalent class II medical device, like Welldoc’s diabetes product BlueStar. BlueStar can collect data directly.

As we determine new functionality to support the management of complex chronic conditions, we continue to work with the FDA to determine the pathway for new clearance requirements across our platform.
