Mango Health unveiled results of its first clinical trial, as well as the launch of a new platform for chronic condition management.
The company has recently completed a one-year clinical study with a top 3 U.S. integrated managed care system. The study found that the use of mHealth technology leads to strong adherence in the overall patient population and across adherence measurements. It also demonstrated 20% increase in on-time prescription refills for the most at-risk participants in the program, hypertensive patients taking 5 or more medications. Finally, Mango saw participants engaging with their mobile app 17 times per week, which is more than 4x healthcare industry benchmarks.
Mango Health’s mobile app is now syncing with Google Fit.In addition, Mango Health launched a suite of new daily health management features that includes support for monitoring weight, blood pressure and steps walked — the data which gets synced with the Google Fit platform. As a result, daily steps walked activity will be integrated into the Mango Health points tracking and reward systems, providing an engaging experience around building and maintaining healthy habits.
“Medication adherence is a critical first step towards better health for millions of people, but it’s not the only important step,” said Mango Health Co-founder and CEO Jason Oberfest. “By launching our new daily habit features, we are extending beyond medication management to more comprehensive daily health management-continuing to support patients and improve health outcomes in chronic populations.”
Finally, the company got the Vice President Medical Outcomes and Clinical Informatics – Carolyn Jasik, MD, a board certified clinical informatics physician, who will be focusing on new product development and strategic partnerships.
