Though coordinated care has been reportedly proven to lower healthcare costs by $7,700 per patient per year, a staggering 74 percent of seniors still lack a coordinated care plan. This problem is exacerbated by the reality that 53 million Americans already struggle to care for older loved ones and there will be a shortage of 1.2 million home health aides in the next decade. An aging population with over 100 million Americans suffering from two or more chronic diseases is driving the fast growing $9.6 billion per year U.S. market for care management software solutions. HeyRenee aims to ease this burden through high touch, coordinated care across the entire healthcare ecosystem, starting with patients and doctors.
