The Business Case for Digital Health
How employers can leverage modern chronic care solutions to cut costs and improve employee outcomes.
Despite good intentions and considerable effort, the U.S. healthcare system is losing the battle against chronic conditions. Americans are eating more and moving less. Outcomes are getting worse, while costs continue to rise.
To make matters worse, providers can’t keep up with the demand. Patients are lucky if they get 30 minutes of direct contact with their doctors, and a significant physician shortage is making it harder for patients to get appointments when they need them.
One way to make up for the erosion of the doctor-patient relationship is to help patients take control over their own health when they’re away from the doctor’s office—and digital tools can make a big difference.
By leveraging mobile technologies, data analytics, and artificial intelligence (AI), effective digital health solutions can give people with common chronic conditions a pathway to more positive outcomes.

Why You Should Embrace Digital Health Solutions in a Struggling Economy
During a financial downturn, individuals often forgo non-essential medical expenditures. As inflation lowers take-home pay, people are less inclined to spend their hard-earned cash on prescriptions, lab tests, doctor's appointments, and medical supplies. However, neglecting health conditions—particularly chronic ones—may lead to increased expenses for employers if they lack the appropriate digital health solutions to offset the cost.
By re-evaluating digital health solutions, benefits leaders can identify opportunities to cut costs and generate a significantly better return on investment.
