🔮 Our Analysis
Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States. For those with heart conditions, surgery doesn’t mean an instant, healthy cardiovascular system—it’s important to keep your heart healthy through a proper exercise regimen and diet while avoiding certain activities, like smoking. While rehab programs following cardiac surgery exist, in-person options come with a number of difficulties. Patients often don't stick to their programs for reasons such as having to take time off of work to participate, long commute times, or high copay costs due to insurance providers declining to pay for expensive rehab options. Moving Analytics is building a solution that appeals to all angles of the healthcare world. It keeps costs low using telehealth—allowing fewer doctors to reach more patients—while making it easy to get the same rehab experience online. For patients, telehealth means a more accessible and more affordable way to learn about staying healthy. For insurance, the lower program cost that comes with Movn is preferred. Finally, for healthcare providers, Moving Analytics keeps a greater number of patients healthier compared to in-person programs and helps prevent hospital readmission. Between its notable partnerships, promising rehabilitation rates, and upcoming service expansion across the U.S., Moving Analytics is well-positioned to take on a health sector in much need of innovation.
