Measurable Improvements in Health Equity
CareMessage is the only patient engagement tool with published research on improvements in clinical outcomes for low-income populations.
OUR APPROACH
We contribute to the research on patient engagement
At CareMessage, we hold ourselves to a high standard when it comes to health equity claims and the impact of our product. Our highest quality of evidence comes from research conducted by independent academic medical centers.
As an organization, we aim to be transparent about what we have seen work or not work to drive behavior change. This helps the industry move forward, iterating on the solutions designed for low-income populations.
We regularly partner with a variety of institutions to help test, validate, and iterate on our solutions. Similarly, we continue to expand into new research areas tied to health equity. If you are a researcher looking to partner with us or our customers, let's talk!
