Healthie’s cost-effective and flexible solution provides significant ROI for BrainHealth

Healthie’s API-first, customizable solution enables BrainHealth to reduce time-to-market, save development costs, and scale seamlessly.

Healthie has provided BrainHealth with the tools to scale quickly while providing comprehensive, longitudinal care to their patients. 

With Healthie, BrainHealth has:

  • Flexibility: Healthie’s API-first structure has enabled BrainHealth the interoperability needed to integrate various tools to provide comprehensive, 360-degree care. 
  • Development Savings: BrainHealth preserves valuable time and resources, saving an estimated $100K - $250K annually in development costs. 
  • Customization: Healthie’s highly customizable patient engagement platform enables BrainHealth to remove barriers to telehealth often experienced by their patient demographic. 

Verdooner explains, “Healthie is far and away the best value platform. If we had to build this ourselves, it would have cost us at least 5-10x. It’s a significant value proposition and one of the most compelling things about Healthie.”

Challenge

BrainHealth needed a comprehensive, flexible solution for managing multifactorial data in neurodegenerative care

BrainHealth needed an interoperable platform capable of integrating lifestyle, labs, and clinical data.

BrainHealth, a provider of actionable, science-based programs and support for those at risk of cognitive impairment, presented a complex use case in delivering care. As neurodegenerative diseases are multifactorial, BrainHealth needed an API-first platform that could ingest inputs from several sources, such as lifestyle, labs, clinical information, and demographic information. This led BrainHealth to search for a comprehensive solution with a lot of interoperability with other subsystems.

BrainHealth looked deeply into five different platforms, and actually contracted with one before finding Healthie. Despite investing time and money into the alternative, BrainHealth ultimately pivoted to Healthie. “Switching to Healthie was a testament to how powerful the platform is,” says Verdooner, the CEO, Director, and Founder of BrainHealth. “It was clearly the more evolved choice, providing the flexibility and interoperability we needed to succeed.”

Solution

Healthie enables a rapid launch with seamless integration for BrainHealth

BrainHealth leverages Healthie’s robust feature set, integrations, and AI-ready flexibility to optimize and scale.

Healthie’s robust platform facilitates seamless data flow between Healthie and BrainHealth’s data warehouse, empowering data-driven decision-making. Healthie's feature-rich and customizable platform also enabled BrainHealth to launch efficiently without the support of a large engineering team. Verdooner notes that “Healthie has provided excellent support, technical items, and product suggestions to get us off the ground quickly.” 

BrainHealth is utilizing several of Healthie’s core product components, including telehealth, document management, care plans, and scheduling. Healthie also serves as BrainHealth’s central hub for all communications with subscribers, members, and patients, while seamlessly integrating with BrainHealth’s existing tools and partners. The platform’s ability to integrate with wearable devices such as Apple Health and Fitbit is especially beneficial for tracking patient lifestyles, supporting the company’s goal of a 360-degree understanding of each patient.

Looking ahead, BrainHealth plans to further scale its operations with Healthie, incorporating additional device integrations and leveraging AI/ML insights to optimize patient outcomes. Verdooner states that, “we made the right decision in selecting the Healthie platform – they are always ready to support us. Anytime we have experienced friction points, Healthie has worked through to solve issues and create the right solutions. This solid relationship empowers us to grow together.”

"We’re a hybrid of medical and lifestyle intervention. When we were looking for a platform, we found that more traditional healthcare solutions don’t take lifestyle aspects – such as exercise, diet, and sleep – into consideration, while lifestyle solutions don't provide a comprehensive medical aspect. Healthie bridges that gap, a platform built for healthcare and lifestyle, enabling us to provide holistic care."
