🚨It’s time to change how we think about — and treat — obesity. 🚨 Obesity needs an approach that’s more than BMI. It's time to understand the complexities of abnormal or excessive fat accumulation and its health risks. Continued reliance on BMI has far-reaching impact on research, diagnosis, treatment, and further perpetuates public stigma. At Sidekick Health, we believe in a deeper approach to tackling obesity, focusing on individual health profiles rather than one-size-fits-all metrics. Thanks to Andy Grannell, Sidekick clinical strategy lead, and Professor Carel le Roux, Sidekick scientific advisory board member, for bringing this conversation forward!

“There’s clear risks associated with having too many vendors, going after the same member-base. The last thing we need in health care services is more fragmentation.” We couldn’t agree more with Christina Farr's article. See how we’re building the antidote to point solution fatigue with our unified whole health platform for health plans. 👀👇
The problem is real, and it’s not just employers. Point solution fatigue is impacting health plans’ ability to deliver comprehensive care support — members want to be treated as more than their single, most expensive disease. Sidekick Health was founded 10 years ago with this exact problem in mind. Today, our unified, whole health platform delivers multi-condition care to members and connected care teams across more than 20 conditions. It's the reason we were selected by a leading national payer for population-wide deployment and why we are able to significantly improve member and care team experience and clinical outcomes, and reduce the total cost of care for our payer partners. For payers, embracing a cohesive and holistic approach is an essential shift. Your members, employers, and care teams will thank you for it. I’m proud to be at the forefront of this shift, and we're just getting started. 🚀 #PointSolutionFatigue #HealthcareEfficiency #HealthcareInnovation #DigitalHealth https://lnkd.in/d4WiUbNU
Point Solution fatigue is very real

Thank you for a great second day at HLTH Europe in Amsterdam! 🙌 Sidekick Health cofounder and CEO, Tryggvi Thorgeirsson, MD, MPH, was joined on a panel this morning by Alexander Schellinger, Nelli Såger, and Lucy Jones, moderated by Nancy G. Brown, to discuss the important topic: "Managing Chronic Diseases More Effectively: How to Eschew the Déjà Vu." 💬 Tryggvi shared, "When I founded the company in 2014, my vision was to create a product prescribed by doctors and used by patients. A decade later, we're well on our way to achieving that vision. We now have the largest and fastest-growing prescription digital therapeutics business in Germany, with over 78k prescriptions and 13k prescribing doctors. Our global operations, including partnerships with leading healthcare companies, are improving outcomes and significantly reducing care costs across multiple conditions." 💡 Globally, one in three adults suffers from multiple chronic conditions, causing 74% of all deaths annually. With personalized treatment plans and cutting-edge therapies, we are entering a new era of disease management. #HLTHEurope #ChronicDiseaseManagement #DigitalHealth #HealthcareInnovation #PersonalizedMedicine #HealthcareTech #HealthOutcomes #GlobalHealth #PrescriptionDigitalTherapeutics #PDT #DTx #DigitalTherapeutics
