- The data will provide care teams with insights
into members’ health and wellness for more integrated care.
- The Fitbit devices will be provided to a
targeted subset of members for care coordination and
management.
- Members can monitor their activity levels and
sleep patterns and sync this data with the Babylon app.
Babylon (NYSE: BBLN) announced today that it will offer Fitbit
devices and services to a subset of members that doesn’t currently
have access to wearables and that fit health program criteria to
promote proactive management of care and improve accessibility
through its digital-first offering.
Eligible members in select markets will be able to use Fitbit’s
health and wellness features to track their activity levels, sleep
patterns and more, and can sync this data with Babylon’s app where
it will be available to them and their care team. The data will
provide care teams with insights into members’ overall health, thus
delivering a more proactive level of care. It is designed to
encourage lifestyle behavior changes to help with condition
management and help improve outcomes.
“By distributing these devices to eligible populations, we're
giving patients access to tools that will provide an engaging and
enjoyable way to better engage in their own health,” said Darshak
Sanghavi, Babylon Global Chief Medical Officer. “We’re providing
at-risk and traditionally underserved populations, like those
living with diabetes in rural areas, with helpful monitoring and
the partnership of an industry-leading digital platform and human
care team to help them manage their health via our 24/7 care. We're
excited to incorporate Fitbits so that we can create a
digital-first, proactive care experience in near real time for our
members – another example of our mission to provide affordable and
accessible care.”
Within Babylon’s MyHealth app, members can collect and access
data about sleep patterns, blood pressure, BMI, blood sugar and
activity level. By assembling these data sources together, Babylon
can create a truly holistic view of a member’s health that is
easily accessible by multiple platforms. These insights are then
used by care teams to develop personalized care plans for each
individual.
At Babylon, we believe that digitizing, automating and
virtualizing as many physical care needs as possible is necessary
to improve accessibility and affordability of healthcare. Central
to this approach is continuous monitoring and collection of
relevant data, algorithms for real time and intelligent analysis,
protocols for appropriate rewarding and alerting and a scalable and
proactive, and a digital first “health service” that can intervene
early before small concerns become unwanted and unnecessary
emergencies. To learn more, visit: babylonhealth.com.
About Babylon
At Babylon, our mission is to make quality healthcare accessible
and affordable for every person on Earth. To this end we are
building an integrated digital first primary care service that can
manage population health at scale.
Founded in 2013, we are reengineering how people engage with
their care at every step of the healthcare continuum. By flipping
the model from reactive sick care to proactive healthcare through
the devices people already own, we offer millions of people
globally, ongoing, always-on care. And, we have already shown that
in environments as diverse as the developed UK or developing
Rwanda, urban New York or rural Missouri, for people of all ages,
it is possible to achieve our mission by leveraging our highly
scalable, digital-first platform combined with high quality,
virtual clinical operations to provide integrated, personalized
healthcare.
Today, we support a global patient network across 15 countries,
and operate in 16 languages. In 2021 alone, Babylon helped a
patient every 6 seconds, with approximately 5.2 million
consultations and AI interactions. Importantly, this was achieved
with a 93% user retention rate in our NHS GP at Hand service and 4
or 5-star ratings from more than 90% of our users across all of our
geographies. We are working to demonstrate how our model of digital
first integrated primary care can be applied to manage the health
of the population in different settings across Medicare, Medicaid,
and commercial value based care contracts in the US and our primary
care services in the UK.
Babylon is also working with governments, health providers,
employers and insurers across the globe to provide them with a new
digital-first platform that any partner can use to deliver
high-quality healthcare with lower costs and better outcomes. For
