Expanded Sacramento Presence Enables Company to Amplify
Chronic Disease Management
SACRAMENTO,Calif.,
Sept. 29,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- iHealth Labs,
Inc. (iHealth), a leader in digital health innovation and one
of the major providers of at-home COVID tests in the U.S.,
continues its commitment to advancing healthcare solutions with its
announcement today of the establishment of a new office in
Sacramento at 8950 Cal Center
Drive to accommodate its rapidly growing Unified Care
program.
With its contributions as a pivotal COVID-19 home test provider
and a decade-long dedication to reimagining chronic disease care,
iHealth Labs is poised to amplify its impact for population health
with the expansion of the Unified Care program in Northern California, especially the
Greater Sacramento Area. The
region has witnessed a remarkable transformation in its senior
population, with a growth rate exceeding 50% from 2010 to 2020,
according to recent census reports. An aging population often
brings a higher prevalence of chronic health conditions, leading to
increased demands on physician visits, hospitalizations and
long-term care services.
The Unified Care solution is designed to close the gap between
physician visits and patient's home monitoring and self management.
In this model, iHealth builds an ancillary care team to provide
holistic in-person and remote care for chronic disease management
and support patients between office visits. This enables physicians
to better manage their patient population.
The transformative approach integrates the care team with
physicians to provide remote vitals monitoring, personalized
nutrition counseling, health behavior coaching and seamless care
coordination, all backed by data-driven software and smart
devices.
Since 2018, a total of 40 primary care practices in the
Sacramento area have embraced
iHealth Unified Care and achieved remarkable milestones, including
a 25% improvement in blood pressure and diabetes control rates.
iHealth also launched strategic partnerships with local independent
physician groups, including Sutter Independent Physicians, to focus
on care quality improvement for population health.
And a recent retrospective analysis of over one-third of the
patients under the Unified Care model demonstrated significant
enhancements in HbA1c and blood pressure levels [1,2].
The achievements have translated into superior clinical
outcomes, heightened physician engagement and elevated patient
satisfaction. The program enjoys a 95% patient satisfaction rate,
with 10,000+ total patients currently enrolled, of which 62% are
Medicare beneficiaries.
"The Sacramento office opening
marks our commitment to redefine healthcare solutions, foster
healthier lives and communities. By uniting its prowess in COVID-19
testing with its groundbreaking Unified Care model, iHealth Labs is
poised to lead the way in shaping a brighter future for healthcare
delivery," stated Jack Feng, iHealth
Labs CEO.
Additionally in July, iHealth relocated its headquarters office
in San Jose to a larger office at
880 West Maude Avenue in Sunnyvale, also to accommodate the Unified
Care expansion.
"This is an exciting time for iHealth. Not only are we
celebrating the company's 13th anniversary in 2023 and
continuing to build our Unified Care team with two office
expansions, on the ecommerce side, we've also enjoyed steady growth
as we launch new products in the digital health category," noted
Feng.
