In the United States, chronic diseases take a heavy toll on individuals and businesses. The statistics are staggering. Six in ten adults have a chronic disease and four in ten adults have two or more. Conditions such as heart disease, cancer, and diabetes are the leading causes of death and disability in the United States. They also account for a whopping 90% of the nation's $4.1 trillion annual healthcare expenditures, which poses an enormous economic burden on both employees and employers.
But what if we could address these conditions through preventative measures, early intervention, and lifestyle changes? In this episode, we are joined by Dr. David Houghton, the Medical Director of Digital Medicine with Ochsner Connected Health to share insights on how digital solutions can help employers provide personalized support and make well-being a strategic focus for their organization.
