Led by Matt Loper, CEO and co-founder, Wellth works with insurers and risk-bearing providers to motivate patient behavior change and adherence to treatment through the use of financial incentives and behavioral economics strategies. Its solution is served through a mobile patient experience that includes daily contextual and personalized nudges as well as quick ‘check-ins’ for daily medications.
The company focuses on better understanding and improving patient behaviors in costly chronic diseases where poor patient adherence is a major driver of preventable hospitalizations, readmissions and other costs, including Type 2 Diabetes, Congestive Heart Failure, Cardiovascular Disease, COPD, Asthma and Behavioral Health.
