Magellan Rx Management Collaborates with mPulse Mobile to Address Social Isolation and Loneliness During COVID-19 - Seite 2

“The pandemic brought forward the health risks of social isolation and how targeted, tailored engagement and experiences enhance patient care,” said Chris Nicholson, CEO of mPulse Mobile. “We are energized by the positive results of this program in collaboration with Magellan Rx and its MRx Cares solution, and our team at mPulse remains dedicated to developing high-touch solutions that use a powerful combination of Conversational AI, behavioral data science, and education to improve health outcomes.”

Additional takeaways from the pilot program:

• More than 34,000 messages were sent to participants over the course of the pilot; over 8,250 responses were received.
• Nearly 20% of participants engaged with the visual stories dialogue by clicking to view, responding to surveys, or following embedded links.
• Program participants and results were stratified by social determinants of health (SDOH), which are the factors that affect health outside of genetics and disease symptoms.
• Participants with higher SDOH impact were most likely to find the program very helpful, suggesting that this type of solution could be a viable option to help address social isolation and health equity challenges in the Medicaid population.
• The program received a 90% satisfaction score with no significant difference on satisfaction or engagement based on participant age, highlighting the value for a Medicare population.
