Innovative Tools Encourage Real Cost Savings thru Behavioral Change
The S5Health platform offers an innovative way to realize real employer cost savings and improve the lives of people living with diabetes. S5Health is designed for diabetic patients by diabetic patients. The system offers interactive online tools to easily track trends and trouble areas, and connect with caregivers, payors, suppliers and other patients. S5Health empowers diabetic patients to better manage their health with easy to understand, visual dashboards and actionable reports to make real behavioral changes. S5health is more than a set of diabetes management tools.

Many diabetic thought leaders agree that diabetic consumers currently do not have access to the tools they need. 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. Brokers and employers will see an increase in adoption of disease management programs, saving employers money through reduced health costs for their employees, and reduced absenteeism.

Easier to Securely Communicate with Providers and Social Network
The S5Health toolkit is more than a set of consumer diabetes management tools. The S5Health platform solves healthcare insurance professionals’ unique member portfolio management needs by providing brokers and their groups with a comprehensive and powerful online system that supports communication, customized branding, social and easy integration with existing programs and consumer facing platforms.

Researchers agree that empowering a patient to be engaged in their healthcare and greater levels of social support, particularly diabetes-related support from spouses and other family members are associated with better regimen adherence. Social support also serves to buffer the adverse effect of stress on diabetes management. Successful management of diabetes contributes to controlling healthcare costs short term and over the long term.

Brokers who are interested in realizing real employer cost savings and improvement of diabetes management, can access the tools for free by visiting https://s5health.sdmindy.com or learn more by contacting S5Health for additional information.
