Health Care Originals Secures Independent Validation Confirming Efficacy and Clinical Outcomes of the Nightingale Program
Rochester, NY — August 15, 2024 — Health Care Originals, Inc. (HCO), a leader in the management of chronic respiratory diseases, is proud to announce that its pioneering Nightingale program is the first respiratory-focused digital health solution to be independently validated by the Validation Institute. The validation confirms that the Nightingale program significantly improves clinical outcomes for people with asthma and COPD.
The Nightingale program integrates cutting-edge wearable technology with expert respiratory therapy, behavioral health, and wellness coaching, offering a proactive and personalized approach to managing conditions such as asthma and COPD. The Validation Institute’s rigorous evaluation reviewed extensive program and outcomes data from 74 patients to arrive at the validation.
The report validated:
- Clinical Improvement on All Scales:
Nightingale Program users:- significantly improve their health-related quality of life
- reduce their respiratory symptoms,
- have fewer activities that are restricted or difficult due to breathlessness
- they also report fewer nights of bad sleep in a 12-month period
- Statistical Significance: The changes noted at 12 months, when compared to baseline were mathematically significant, meaning that they were beyond what could be accounted for by random variation.
Asthma & COPD Symptom Score Reductions
Measured Using the Gold-Standard SGRQ Methodology
Members experience significantly fewer sleep disturbances due to respiratory symptoms at 6 and 12 months.
Members experience significantly fewer respiratory symptoms during physical activity at 6 and 12 months.
Members experience significantly fewer Asthma attacks and COPD flare-ups at 6 and 12 months, with 77% reporting no attacks.
The report also contains details on:
- Predictive Health Management: Utilizing advanced data analytics from wearable devices, the Nightingale Program can forecast healthcare needs, allowing for timely interventions that prevent costly medical emergencies.
- Educational Impact: The program delivers personalized education at the point of need, enhancing patient understanding and compliance with treatment protocols, thereby improving overall health outcomes
- Clinically Efficacious Outcome Improvement: The Nightingale program meets the standard for clinically efficacious care according to criteria set by the American Thoracic Society, far exceeding the requirements per the gold standard for measurement.
As part of the validation process, the Validation Institute has extended a Credibility Guarantee of up to $100,000 for those entering value-based contracts for the program. This guarantee is a testament to the program’s ability to deliver measurable improvements in health outcomes and cost savings.
