At risk population seeks out Higi despite discomfort with in-person care

The Higi platform is designed to quickly assess population health trends, doing so by collecting de-identified health data from 10,000 locations across the country. When market trends indicated that our users would be interested in learning more about their health and Covid-19, we quickly launched a survey-based program on our station to collect sentiment and health risk data. 

We know from the market that people are avoiding care, sometimes at their risk of their health. 38% of responders to our on-station survey told us they did not feel safe getting in person healthcare, yet the majority of sessions were indicative of risk. Of those who participated in the survey and completed a blood pressure test, 65% had a reading in the hypertensive range, of those that measured weight, over 70% fell into the overweight or obese category.

The opportunity: health plan and health system partner can leverage our platform to educate consumers about the importance maintaining health, even during Covid. They can share solution to deliver care outside of the hospital setting and inform decision making processes when in person care may be needed.
