Omada Health, one of the U.S.’s original virtual healthcare providers, today announced the creation of the Omada Insights Lab.
“The Insights Lab is an approach to product development that leverages multidisciplinary teams to rapidly look at what does and does not work in a digital care setting and then scale those tools within the company,” Sean Duffy, co-founder and CEO, told TechCrunch.
Omada offers care management for diabetes, musculoskeletal issues, preventative health, hypertension, and behavioral health. Its main differentiator from other virtual healthcare providers is the amount of handholding it offers to its patients, which in turn has shown to deliver better health outcomes. Through the Insights Lab, it plans to share insights to help improve care outcomes across the industry.
“A shared sense of commitment with an Omada care professional increases the likelihood of a better outcome by 250%,” Duffy said.
