With over 100,000 actively monitored RPM and CCM patients,
HealthSnap releases new report demonstrating significant
improvements in clinical outcomes across hypertension, obesity, and
type II diabetes.
MIAMI, July 31,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- HealthSnap, a leading
virtual care management company that currently partners with over
150 health systems and provider organizations nationwide, today
announced the findings of its 2024 Clinical Outcomes Report. It
highlights the impact of integrated Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM)
and Chronic Care Management (CCM) on hypertension, obesity, and
type II diabetes management.
The study evaluated aggregate, de-identified health data for
41,940 patients from HealthSnap's RPM portals tailored by use case.
It required inclusion criteria of at least 90 days on the program
and a data transmission rate of at least 50%. The findings
demonstrate significant improvements in clinical outcomes when RPM
and CCM is administered as a comprehensive program for chronic
condition management, including:
- Blood Pressure Improvements:
- Over 80% of hypertensive patients lowered their blood pressure
compared to baseline
- Patients with Stage 2 levels of systolic blood pressure (SBP)
and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) saw the following reductions:
- SBP reduction of 23.8 mmHg
- DBP reduction of 14.5 mmHg
- Blood Glucose Control:
- Type II diabetic patients experienced a 16.5 mg/dL
reduction in fasting blood glucose
- Severe hyperglycemic patients (≥180 mg/dL) had a 56.8
mg/dL reduction
- Compared to the 40-60 mg/dL reduction seen with common
non-insulin medications like Metformin and GLP-1 agonists
- Weight Loss:
- Among patients using Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) for weight
loss, 81.4% achieved long-term reductions in body
weight
These improvements have been shown to profoundly affect overall
patient health, including reduced chronic disease risks, fewer
emergency room visits and hospitalizations, improved A1c levels,
and help to prevent hypertension and diabetes-related damage to
eyes and kidneys. HealthSnap's virtual care management programs
also help to make comprehensive care possible for more patients by
bridging gaps in healthcare accessibility and equity.
"The findings of the first HealthSnap Clinical Outcomes Report
show a correlation between patient engagement through ongoing data
transmission and significant clinical improvements across
hypertension management, blood glucose control, and weight
management," said Wesley Smith,
Ph.D., HealthSnap's Co-Founder and Chief Scientific Officer. "We
are proud to share our findings, which advocate for the expanded
use and adoption of Remote Patient Monitoring and Chronic Care
Management programs to improve healthcare outcomes and access for
patients living with chronic conditions."
To date, the most well-known use case for Remote Patient
Monitoring has been applied to hypertension management. A
meta-analysis published in The Lancet in 2021 revealed that even a
modest reduction of 5 mmHg in systolic blood pressure can lead to a
significant 10% decrease in serious cardiovascular events.
HealthSnap's report findings show an average decrease in SBP of
more than 4x that amount, underscoring the meaningful potential for
broad adoption of virtual care management programs, like
HealthSnap's, as a preventive measure for hypertension-related
health conditions. As noted in the study, additional common chronic
conditions also show promising improvements when RPM programs are
implemented.
HealthSnap is powering a new paradigm in chronic condition
management that shifts the patient chronic care delivery paradigm
from one that is reactive and delivered in the clinic to a model
that is continuous and delivered in the home. As a result, patients
are experiencing more proactive and personalized care, leading to
improvements in outcomes and accelerated adoption by healthcare
providers across the country. In the last several years, HealthSnap
has announced partnerships with UnityPoint Health, Prisma Health,
Mount Sinai Medical Center, Luminis Health, Tampa General Hospital,
University of South Florida, and
Virginia Cardiovascular Specialists, among others, and currently
has active partnerships in 33 states.
"We found that by keeping people out of the emergency room, by
keeping them out of the hospital, providing them with quicker
access to the primary care or specialist office should their
condition deteriorate – that HealthSnap RPM and CCM does decrease
the total cost of care and increase quality and experience for our
patients," said Bill Gerard, MD,
EVP, Value Based Care & Clinical Integration at Prisma Health,
and CEO of inVio Health Network.
