The Health Buddy Program is a physician-led model of care that allows doctors and hospitals to focus on prevention, rather than the current, crisis-driven approach to care.
The program will change the model of chronic care from one that is episodic and reactive, to one that is continuous, proactive, and based in the patient’s home.
It coaches patients to manage and understand their conditions through unique, personalized, health management programs.
It allows doctors to concentrate on patients when they need attention most.
It reduces hospitalizations and health care costs.
Similar programs using the Health Buddy system have generated the following results:
60 percent reduction in hospitalizations
86 percent of patients say they better understand and manage their medical condition and treatment
95 percent of patients are satisfied or very satisfied with the Health Buddy appliance
Patients feel more connected with their doctors over time
