EMPOWERING

Sharon was always fairly healthy, but 40 seemed to be the age at which things became a little more difficult.  Diabetes and consistent weight gain had left her in a bit of a health slump, and she knew she needed to turn the corner if she wanted to fulfill all of the plans she had for her life: running her own business, traveling, and hiking the Appalachian trail.  Her goals were lofty, so she needed to get herself moving in the right direction.

Sharon’s endocrinologist offered telehealth visits, but Sharon wanted something more.  She felt like she needed more accountability than simply a virtual visit where she was self-reporting her progress.  That was not achieving the milestones she wanted.  Sharon’s doctor recommended she start utilizing remote patient monitoring, so that there could be daily checks and reporting, trend analysis, and communication.

Sharon chose the CareMeda Connected Care Platform for her health journey.  She liked the fact that she could customize her package to manage her unique healthcare needs.  Sharron chose options for management of blood pressure, weight and glucose.

And so her journey began.  Each morning Sharron was able to capture her clinical data utilizing the CareMeda application and complete surveys sent by her doctor.  She was able to complete weekly virtual visits with the diabetic educator, Lucas, who became a healthcare coach for her.  Sharron was able to do on demand video chats with Lucas as needed if she had questions or concerns.

Through her journey using CareMeda, Sharron was able to lose 37 pounds, improve her Hemoglobin A1C, and she has just launched her website for her own interior design firm.
