Vida Health Launches Virtual Congestive Heart Failure Management Program
Summary
“Between missed days of work, treatments, medication, and out-of-pocket expenses, the cost of heart failure in the U.S. exceeds $30 billion,” said Vida Health Founder and CEO Stephanie Tilenius. Through the program, members learn to be aware of, track, and manage key physical symptoms that provide early warning of the need to seek preventive and acute medical care. Other devices, such as blood pressure monitors and heart trackers, are also offered as part of the program and seamlessly sync with Vida’s platform. Vida has published peer reviewed research in PLOS One, American Heart Journal, JMIR Mhealth Uhealth, and The Psychological Record. Vida Health’s services, available in both English and Spanish, are delivered through a mobile platform that supports individuals in preventing, managing and reversing chronic conditions such as pre-diabetes, diabetes, hypertension, obesity, depression, anxiety, etc.
