Soda Health's recent $50M Series B isn't just another funding round - it's a bet on one of healthcare's most promising levers: connecting incentives to insurance benefits. Here's why this matters: • Chronic diseases account for the majority of healthcare costs • Prevention is significantly more cost-effective than treatment • Behavior change is the hardest yet most impactful element in healthcare • Smart benefits can guide better health choices daily By linking retail networks, health plans, and consumer behavior through their benefits platform, Soda Health is tackling a critical challenge: making healthy choices easier and more accessible. This is the innovation our healthcare system needs - practical tools that bridge the gap between knowing what to do and actually doing it. https://snip.ly/stvyn5

#Digitalhealthengagemnt will redefine the narrative for #HealthInsurance in the future. We all know that client retention is as crucial as new acquisitions. But how can insurers stand out? The answer lies in embracing Digital Health Engagement. By integrating digital health platforms, insurers can offer personalized #healthriskassessments, proactive #wellnessprograms, and gamified challenges that not only enhance customer experience but also encourage healthier lifestyles amongst #policyholders. This isn’t just about reducing claims; it’s about building lasting relationships. When clients feel supported in their health journey, loyalty follows. #insuretech #digitalhealth #claimreduction #clientretention #corporatewellness #allthegoodthings

👔 Health insurance‘s role with digital health in preventive care? Writing this conference contribution was a great pleasure as it has co-authors Tobias Kowatsch and Jan-Niklas Kramer, whom I learned so much from. To date, not enough work has been done from the perspective of health insurers in digital preventive care 🤖💊 Even though health insurers are in a great position to enable preventive medicine and mitigate an exploding chronic disease burden. Our latest study revealed 3 strategies that health insurers can use digital health to their advantage and reimagine preventive care. 1. cost leadership with digital chronic disease management 🏆 2. offer comprehensive health information platform with add-on care services 🧩 (esp. for stigmatized conditions) 3. improvement customer experience at each user touch point 🏖️ We interviewed an innovation expert 📹 and analyzed data based on a business model innovation framework 🗺 to formulate three strategies for insurers to master emerging paradigm of healthy longevity and personalized health.

I'm excited to post my latest thought leadership! Read it at Fast Company Executive Board. While, for the right type of care, digital health and point solutions have provided a great vehicle for care delivery, the industry has, at times, over-engineered the solution for situations that may warrant in-person interventions. For point solutions to be effective, it is critical to use them as part of an orchestrated solution to prevent additional friction and barriers to patient care. Otherwise, as the industry has experienced, utilization is incredibly low, outcomes are poor, and investments are made in unnecessary and ineffective solutions.
