Our CEO, Hal Rosenbluth, was recently featured in Scientific American by Joanne Silberner's article exploring the complexities of health anxiety. Hal shared his personal experiences with health anxiety, which he details in his book Hypochondria.   The article sheds light on the reality of #hypochondria, now recognized as a serious illness alongside depression and PTSD. It also emphasizes the importance of compassionate care and effective treatments, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and antidepressants, in helping individuals manage their condition and improve their quality of life.   At New Ocean, we believe in prioritizing mental health as part of holistic employee wellness. Empowering individuals with tools to manage their health not only transforms lives but strengthens organizations.   Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/gZCKhFFY   #MentalHealth #Hypochondria #EmployeeWellness

Managing chronic conditions is more than just a health challenge—it’s a daily reality that impacts every aspect of life. Our recent survey highlights the significant effects these conditions have on individuals, revealing that nearly three-quarters of respondents have been diagnosed with at least one chronic condition.    Employers can play a crucial role in this landscape by providing access to digital health tools. By empowering employees with the resources they need to manage their conditions, we can help alleviate some of the burden that chronic health issues impose on daily life. In fact, our survey found that 66% of respondents expressed a willingness to use digital solutions for managing their chronic conditions if offered by their employer.   Our focus is on creating tailored, affordable solutions that address both chronic health management and mental wellness.   Explore the full survey report here: https://lnkd.in/ewSQYPjJ #ChronicHealth #EmployeeWellness #ChronicConditions

Recently, Daniel Gilbert The Washington Post detailed a Senate hearing with Novo Nordisk’s CEO discussing why the company's drugs, Ozempic and Wegovy, are more expensive in the U.S. compared to other regions like Europe. This issue is a reminder of the broader challenges we face in our healthcare system.   New Ocean CEO, Hal Rosenbluth , and Chief Marketing and Strategy Officer, Marnie Hall, found a poignant datapoint in their book “Hypochondria: What's Behind the Hidden Costs Healthcare Costs in America.”    “The United States spends three and four times more than other high-income countries, such as Japan and New Zealand, but has the lowest life expectancy at birth and highest death rates for treatable conditions. Health outcomes in the United States rank closer to countries with the worst health outcomes, such as Latvia and Turkey, which have bottom-of-the-barrel statistics when it comes to life expectancy after birth and managing diabetes.”    Despite this significant investment, outcomes lag behind, and patients aren’t receiving the care they deserve.   We must find a way forward. Over the past couple of years Mark Cuban Cost Plus Drug Company, PBC Drug Company, has introduced an innovative approach to making prescription medications more affordable and accessible. His model offers a glimpse into what the future of healthcare could look like—one where medication costs are transparent, and patients are empowered.   #Healthcare #DrugPrices #ChronicConditions #Diabetes   https://lnkd.in/erw9yWq4   ###

Last week’s FDA approval of a new #schizophrenia drug represents a major step in improving care for individuals diagnosed with the disorder. But its positive impact might reach even further. https://lnkd.in/efTd4nj9   A 2017 study found that #hypochondria (illness anxiety) is significantly more common in people with schizophrenia — affecting 20%, compared to just 1% in the general population. https://lnkd.in/egnv6tSn. Addressing schizophrenia with more effective treatments not only improves patient outcomes but may also reduce the #healthcare costs associated with frequent health anxieties and unnecessary medical visits.   At New Ocean, we understand the importance of tackling these interconnected challenges. Our CEO, Hal Rosenbluth, is a self-diagnosed hypochondriac and intimately familiar with the subject as the author of a recent book co-authored with New Ocean's Marnie Hall, Hypochondria: What's Behind the Hidden Costs of Healthcare in America. Hal believes in the power of innovation to improve mental health and the broader healthcare system. We're optimistic about these advancements and remain committed to supporting initiatives that enhance quality of life for all.   #MentalHealthAwareness #InnovationInCare
