More than 147 million Americans have at least one chronic medical condition. Unfortunately, the U.S. healthcare system is not designed to provide these patients with the continual care that they need. This forces many of them to manage their condition on their own with limited guidance.
Livongo Health (NASDAQ: LVGO) says it's on a mission "to empower people with chronic conditions to live better and healthier lives." The company created a platform that uses data science and technology to provide personalized coaching to patients in real-time. Livongo calls these interactions "health nudges," and it has the data to prove that they lead patients to make smarter health choices that drive behavior changes, improve clinical outcomes, and lower healthcare costs.
