Promoting Better Patient Outcomes and Reducing Churn with Digital Health Assistant for Aging

Almost 70% of US Americans over 65 years of age want some form of digital health assistant to negotiate health while aging. The Renee app helps fill this niche by scheduling appointments, ordering refills, arranging rides, and tracking vitals. Results from a small pilot study show that older adults using Renee had better blood pressure and glycemic control and engaged more regularly with their care team.

According to Renee Dua, MD, “Drawing on my 20+ years as a practicing physician, 7+ years as a health-tech innovator (I founded and led Heal as Chief Medical Officer) and most importantly, the last 2 years I have spent as the primary caregiver for my aging loved ones; I created Renee with the unique understanding that only by helping patients with routine healthcare tasks can Renee help payers accomplish their key goals as well. ”
