Lin Health, a digital chronic pain recovery platform, partnered with Mayo Clinic to offer patients in Minnesota's Fibromyalgia Treatment Program care transition support and is announcing its expanded collaboration to provide primary care patients in Arizona with access to an at-home digital intervention for chronic pain.
The Colorado-based company offers a digital program where patients with chronic pain can access evidence-based care modules that are personalized and streamlined by their care team.
Each patient is matched with a pain recovery coach to support them throughout the program, and a multidisciplinary care team supports the coach.
In the back end, the company invested significantly in building an AI-enabled platform to support care delivery and providers.
"Think about our care platform as an EHR/CRM and revenue cycle management. It takes care of every aspect of care delivery so we can make better decisions and collaborate as a team--the care team and everyone on the operations side," Yehuda Kogan, CEO and cofounder of Lin Health, told MobiHealthNews.
"And then how we scale more effectively and efficiently is knowing that part of the job we need to do is to build for the multi-state provider, and this is what we did. So basically, the front end is an app where patients can see their program and communicate with the care team, and the back end is where the magic happens."
Lin Health currently partners with health plans in six states, and offers 27 million individuals access to its digital chronic-care platform. Patients can use their insurance to receive the company's offerings.
During the six-month Mayo Clinic and Lin Health pilot program, providers could add extensions to their clinical operations and offerings to ensure a continuum of care for 450 chronic pain patients.
Due to the success of that program, the company is extending its support to Mayo Clinic primary care patients in Arizona, providing digital at-home care that offers patients longitudinal support for chronic pain.
"Mayo is like a window into the future. You get to see what the future of healthcare is going to look like in a couple of years. These guys are so forward-thinking, so innovative, and I learn something new every day just talking to them," Kogan said.
"They have big plans for us, and I'm sure they know what they're doing. So, I'm very excited about just being able to serve their patients, expanding and being part of their story."
