Helpsy
Benefits to Medicare Advantage Plans
Medicare advantage plan providers spend more money per patient on that person's maintenance care. Increase in unmanaged side effects and toxicities result in doubling the cost of care. Health care providers do not have sufficient bandwidth to help patients navigate these issues. Helpsy's personalized, automated care plan and management system provides patient with treatment and self care options for managing these issues for a smooth recovery. This saves insurers money of expensive treatments, hospital visits while empowering their members to take control of their health.
Benefits to Medicare Advantage Members
90% of people who receive cancer treatment will experience side effects, toxicities and disruption in their lifestyle. While their providers are working hard to fight cancer, patients and loved ones are unprepared and unaware of what to expect and how to deal with the disruptions. This results in often disruption of treatment, unmanaged side effects, additional emotional stress and unpleasant impact on family members. These can be avoided if everyone knew what to expect, how to prepare for it and get the right support. Helpsy provides that support with their patented algorithms and treatment plans. It's no surprise our patients experience 30-80% reduction in symptoms, high quality of life, and feel in control of their health.
EmPowerYu
Benefits to Medicare Advantage Plans
EmPowerYu is a care management tool for families and professional caregivers that mathematically describes the normal patterned Activities of Daily Living such as eating, sleeping, activity, and use of devices, for high medical risk persons living alone. Our value is in reducing costs for high utilizers by detecting negative trends and changes in the daily pattern that indicates a problem developing, before that problem sends the resident to the emergency room. We protect a resident’s privacy and dignity by using passive wall sensors that only detect events like turning a TV on and off, a fridge door opening and closing, or when there is movement in the bedroom. There are no cameras, wearables, behavioral changes or smart phones required. By understanding an existing pattern, we can also determine the functional effectiveness of interventions by comparing patterns before and after a change in treatment. Additionally, we can monitor a post-acute patient for the 30 to 60 day period post-release to ensure that the person is generating a positive trend of getting out of bed, eating, and moving around. Our open platform can record home-based medical device readings and integrate them into the pattern of events. Because medication adherence is a frequently cited problem, we propose to integrate wireless medication minders into our platform and show on a real time dashboard whether the medication minders are being accessed, with a followup telephone reminder service if needed. We further propose a program to reward patients for taking their medications, and can validate compliance using our platform.
Benefits to Medicare Advantage Members
People want to stay in their own homes and communities, and to feel well enough to enjoy their lives. They are incentivized by privacy-protective oversight that enables treatment for emerging problems so they feel batter overall, and by the support to stay in their homes. For persons afraid of being undetected on the floor after a fall, or being unable to get out of bed when their illness becomes severe, EmPowerYu provides peace of mind that the system will notice and send an alert for help. EmPowerYu is optimal for caregivers in PACE-style programs that strive to keep residents in their homes.
Pefin
Benefits to Medicare Advantage Plans
There are two ways in which Pefin can help people with respect to their Medicare plans: 1) Pefin will help people understand the true cost of retirement, including what Medicare covers, and the need for supplemental insurance – and other health related costs. Pefin helps people find ways to make their retirement, and other financial goals, affordable. 2) The toll that financial stress takes on people is considerable. According to a PWC survey, people experiencing financial stress are less productive than other people- and this takes its toll on their health. Using Pefin, people who will ultimately use Medicare Advantage plans will be able to take control of their health more proactively.
Benefits to Medicare Advantage Members
One of the consistently greatest areas of stress for people across income groups and demographics is regarding their financial life. People either don’t have the time or the skill to analyze their situation and come up with the right answers. Pefin is uniquely able to provide people actionable advice to achieve their financial goals-and achieve what matters most to them. Today it is not possible to receive advice that is as comprehensive, secure, and fiduciary in the comfort of your own home today- even from an expensive financial advisor.
PTX Therapy
Benefits to Medicare Advantage Plans
Musculoskeletal wellness is a grossly underserved need of the Medicare Advantage space. Solution providers like Tivity (Silver Sneakers) and ASH (Silver & Fit) promote fitness, but many seniors are forced to suspend physical activity as they deal with recurring episodes of joint & muscle pain. Also, this population falsely tends to believe the proverbial "senior shuffle" and dreaded "hunch" are inevitable consequences of aging. PTX has proven this is a total myth and simply rooted in correctable dysfunctional posture. Seniors are also victims of the opioid epidemic. Most opioid abuse is rooted in musculoskeletal pain.
PTX is the perfect form of "prehab", helping patients perform better in traditional physical therapy following joint surgeries (it can even delay or avoid any surgeries). After surgery and traditional PT, PTX Therapy/postural therapy accelerates healing, in-general as it helps prevent re-admissions and the future need for other joint surgeries.
The ROI for a Medicare Advantage plan using PTX Therapy for members vast and immediate.
