Humana Introduces Program Aimed at Managing Chronic Disease Using RWD and Analytics

Humana has announced Humana Care Support, a program aimed at helping elderly people in managing their chronic disease(s). The program will take advantage of predictive analytics, cloud technology, and RWD (real world data) to improve outcomes. One key goal of the program is to allow seniors to receive care at home, not a hospital or long term facility.

Humana’s Heather Cox remarks, “When you have an understanding of what’s most important to the member, you can leverage personalization to deliver comprehensive care that not only addresses medical needs, but also behavioral, social and financial ones. For example, when you see that a member is not adherent to their medication, we can leverage analytics to understand if the right outreach is from a social worker to explore social determinants of health and affordability or from a pharmacist to discuss how to mitigate common side-effects.” Read more here.
