Did you know there are more than 350,000 health apps available in the app stores? Not only is it difficult to select from so many options, but it’s easy to see how overwhelming it can be for employees to juggle multiple apps as they try to take care of their everyday health and wellness needs while remaining productive at work.
But when employees have access to all their health information, care resources, and well-being support in one convenient place — and connected to their healthcare coverage — they see the benefits you offer as infinitely more valuable. The benefit of this simplified experience can land you positive returns that reverberate throughout your organization, including greater employee satisfaction, lower absenteeism and turnover, and higher productivity.
How you make healthcare and wellness services available to employees is an essential consideration, which is why the concept of a “digital front door” has emerged as a key component of whole-person health.
Embracing AI In Healthcare For Healthier Employees
For example, nearly 12 million Anthem members already rely on the SydneySM Health app, the digital front door that connects them to the health insights, professionals, tools, and resources they need. More than 10 billion medical data points feed the artificial intelligence (AI) engine powering personalized matches to care providers, cost transparency around procedures and office visits, and individual data dashboards for a highly personalized healthcare experience.
Sydney’s human-centered design gives employees the data-driven tools and insights they need for a smooth, self-directed journey. It illuminates gaps in care, anticipates needs, and suggests precise treatment paths. The app seamlessly blends digital, virtual, and in-person care to help employees meet their physical, behavioral, and social health needs when, where, and how they want them met.
The strength of a digital front door in this way relies on how well data and healthcare technology are brought together to provide employees with a simple experience. The easier it is to use their health app, the more likely employees are to engage with it. Sydney can help provide predictive, proactive, personalized care and experiences that improve outcomes, lower costs, and serve people more equitably.
Healthcare Technology Makes Care Accessible, Personal
There is no one-size-fits-all when it comes to healthcare and so delivering personalized health journeys may seem daunting at first. That’s one reason why the advanced healthcare technology and data functionality offered by a strong digital front door can help. It’s a simple solution to meet every person exactly where they are.
When employees receive timely care for their health concerns, they can focus on what matters most — both at work and at home.
Employers land positive returns such as lower healthcare costs, greater employee satisfaction, higher productivity — and a maximum return on investment for your health coverage spend.
Sydney Health is offered through an arrangement with Carelon Digital Platforms, a separate company offering mobile application services on behalf of your health plan. ©2023
