Healthpoints

HealthPoints is a data and technology-driven disease management company that provides real-time, remote monitoring, education and support to improve health and lower healthcare costs for individuals with chronic illnesses such as diabetes and congestive heart failure. HealthPoints leverages easy-to-use wireless monitoring devices and health information technology that captures and analyzes vital health metrics (such as blood glucose levels for diabetics).This information is available and analyzed real-time to enable remote professional health coaches and nursing staff to proactively interact with those in need as well as provide individuals with input as to how their actions have impacted their condition and how they can promote or prevent these actions in the future. HealthPoints' programs also provide the opportunity for a patient's social network and care givers to support their care. Real-time updated information on the patient's health as well as targeted education can be available to anyone the patient wishes so that all those who care about the patient can help them in making difficult life changes. Having formerly run the disease management and wellness services for United HealthCare (responsible for 55 million lives with 18 call centers), HealthPoints executive team has unique experience managing large populations - as well as a unique understanding of the limitations of traditional "disease management".
