A large multinational payer partners with EmpowerHealth to conduct regular outreach for its diabetes population quality improvement program. The interactions identify members who need triage, transfer to a clinician, or access to other resources. Through converting voice and text to data and producing real-time analytics for hundreds of thousands of members, this major health insurer achieves the following results:

10% to 30% reduction in emergency room utilization

25% boost in engagement among the diabetes population

1% to 4% increase in closed HEDIS gaps for diabetes

“Our focus on holistic health is a key differentiator for EmpowerHealth,” says Flagstad. “Strategic investments in our product suite demonstrate our embrace of the entire healthcare engagement spectrum. The extensions of our product suite have yielded powerful validation from the market that EmpowerHealth is addressing the acute needs of health plans, health providers, employers, and pharmacy benefit managers.”

Nick Martin, chief information officer and executive vice president of product, says, “We believe that the future of health engagement lies in natural, meaningful, and personalized conversations. EmpowerHealth’s digital health platform goes beyond just text-based and chat communication, providing a human-like interaction for members, patients, employees, and other individuals engaged in health improvement.”

“Our nine years of experience in healthcare and demonstrable investment in research and development sets us apart in a market where many solutions fall short in delivering a truly engaging and effective conversational experience,” adds Martin. “EmpowerHealth delivers an unrivaled patient and member experience and business intelligence that helps healthcare executives target scarce resources where they’re most needed.”
