THE CASE FOR Integrated Cardiometabolic Care
The Tipping Point for Chronic Care
The healthcare system wasn’t designed for the complexity of today’s chronic care populations Patients living with obesity, diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular disease often juggle multiple conditions and just as many care programs, apps, and providers. The result is a fragmented, reactivesystemwherenooneseesthefullpicture.
Point solutions have attempted to fill the gaps, but their narrow, condition-specific focus leaves patients navigating disconnected platforms and plans struggling to deliver meaningfuloutcomes.
It’s time for a new approach that puts whole-person clinicalcarebackatthecenter—andusesvirtualdelivery anddatatoscaleitsimpact.

01 Why Point Solutions Fail Complex Populations
The Limitations of Siloed Care
Most chronic care solutions treat one condition at a time but patients don’t live that way. When managing obesity, diabetes, hypertension, and more, members need coordinated care that connects the dots.
Why it Matters:
Point solutions rarely communicate, leading to redundant or conflicting care
Patients disengage when asked to navigate multiple tools
Payers face rising costs due to uncoordinated interventions
