Most healthcare thought leaders agree that diabetic consumers currently do not have access to the tools and support they need to better manage their chronic condition. S5Health was developed by an IT Executive who is also the father of a Type 1 diabetic. He was frustrated with the lack of tools and support available to help his daughter manage her condition. According to S5Health’s founder and CEO, Jim Jordan, “Diabetes is a daily management challenge for individuals, and their families living with the effects of the disease.” Jim said, “Consumers utilizing the S5Health Diabetes toolkit reported they better understand their personal biometric data and can make actionable changes to improve the way they feel.” Statistics consistently show that increased adoption of disease management programs not only improve outcomes, but result in cost savings to insurers, employers and members through reduced health costs and reduced absenteeism.
