Health Dialog and higi on Thursday announced an agreement to combine real-world patient data from higi’s national network of screening stations with Health Dialog’s population management programs. New data-driven health insights will help health plans, providers and employers deliver actionable health interventions to patients, the companies said.
Through the agreement, Health Dialog’s analytics engine, Care Pathways, will analyze the population health data collected through higi to classify individuals into one of nine health stages based on their progression from wellness to disease. Health Dialog said it will use these insights to deliver personalized health interventions to help individuals prevent or delay disease progression.
“Today’s population health programs largely use data from health events that occurred in the past or are reported once a year by members, which limit their effectiveness,” Danielle Barrera,
The health intervention programs Health Dialog will offer range from intensive chronic disease management and wellness improvement to shared decision making, all delivered through telephonic health coaching, digital engagement and health education tools and resources.
“Higi is thrilled to partner with Health Dialog to help targeted populations receive more personalized treatment plans through data-driven insights,” Jeff Bennett, CEO of higi, said.We are dedicated to working with organizations, including payers, providers and employers, to provide enhanced solutions for care, and our partnership with Health Dialog will further streamline the process of connecting consumers and their data to their healthcare needs.”
