Insights + Analytics to Understand the
Patient-as-a-Person
Given that just 20-30% of health outcomes are associated with clinical data, the healthcare industry is missing out on a large piece of the puzzle when it comes to understanding the healthcare consumer.
This is where HealthWise Data comes in.
We leverage consumer data (social determinants of health) & analytics to build predictions on individuals' behaviors, wellness lifestyles, health conscientiousness, environmental factors and ability to pay for medical expenses - attributes necessary to understand someone holistically.
