Overweight occurs when a person carries more body fat than is considered healthy. This can result from a variety of factors, including consuming more calories than the body burns, a sedentary lifestyle, genetic predisposition, hormonal imbalances, and certain medications. Excess weight can significantly increase the risk of developing serious health conditions like heart disease, diabetes, and various cancers.

Traditional care models often rely on periodic in-person visits, which can leave gaps in monitoring and management. Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) bridges these gaps by enabling continuous, real-time tracking of vital health metrics like blood pressure levels. This proactive approach not only improves patient outcomes but also allows healthcare providers to make timely adjustments to treatment plans, ensuring more personalized and effective obesity care.

Obesity by the Numbers

In 2023, all U.S. states and territories had an obesity prevalence higher than 20% (more than 1 in 5 adults). Overall, the Midwest (36.0%) and South (34.7%) had the highest prevalence of obesity, followed by the West (29.1%) and the Northeast (28.6%).
In 2023, the prevalence of adult obesity varied by age. Adults aged 18–24 years had the lowest prevalence of obesity (19.5%) while adults aged 45–54 years had the highest (39.2%).
According to the 2017–2018 data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES)
- More than 2 in 5 non-Hispanic white adults (42.2%) have obesity.
- Nearly 1 in 2 non-Hispanic Black adults (49.6%) have obesity.
- More than 1 in 6 non-Hispanic Asian adults (17.4%) have obesity.
- Nearly 1 in 2 Hispanic adults (44.8%) have obesity.
- Since 2004, the national adult obesity rate has increased by 37 percent and the national youth obesity rate increased by 42 percent.

How Esvyda helps with Obesity programs

Ensuring Continuous Data-Driven Monitoring

Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) enables real-time tracking of vital health data, surveys, and messages, offering instant insights into patient conditions. Esvyda supports providers by identifying health trends and compliance patterns, enabling data-driven care decisions. With immediate access to this data, doctors can personalize treatments and make timely adjustments, enhancing patient engagement and helping prevent minor issues from becoming serious complications.

Promoting Timely Communication

Telehealth consultations transform chronic conditions management by offering patients easy access to healthcare from home. This virtual approach allows for regular checkups, medication reviews, and urgent consultations, removing the barrier of in-person visits. Through video calls or secure messaging, providers can monitor progress, answer questions, and deliver timely support for consistent care.

Supporting Holistic Care

Integrating Behavioral Health Integration (BHI) with Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) creates a holistic care model that addresses both physical and mental health. Through virtual health platforms, patients gain access to a multidisciplinary team, including psychologists, nutritionists, and health educators, empowering them to manage their health more effectively and improve quality of life.

Increasing Patient Engagement

Esvyda enhances patient comfort and support in using RPM devices through user-friendly technology and personalized communication, empowering them to actively manage their chronic conditions.

The platform offers automated reminders for medications, vital signs, appointments, and health check-ins, promoting accountability and adherence to treatment plans. This comprehensive, patient-centered approach transforms RPM programs into collaborative partnerships, enabling patients to take charge of their health and improve outcomes.

Improving Workflows

Esvyda enhances workflow efficiency by automating key processes like data collection, messaging, claims creation, and alerts, allowing healthcare providers to concentrate on critical cases. By integrating RPM systems, providers receive real-time updates on patient health metrics, eliminating the need for manual tracking.

Automated notifications alert teams to potential issues, enabling timely interventions and reducing complications. This efficiency improves care quality and boosts provider satisfaction by minimizing routine tasks, fostering a more effective healthcare environment.

Maximizing Revenue

By reducing the need for in-person visits and hospital readmissions, RPM lowers healthcare costs for both providers and patients. Continuous monitoring facilitates early intervention, preventing costly medical emergencies.

Additionally, RPM systems streamline billing with automated claims creation and tracking of billable CPT codes, promoting timely reimbursement and increasing the number of billable services. This efficient resource use lowers costs, enhances revenue, and enables providers to allocate their time and expertise effectively, ultimately improving patient outcomes while ensuring financial sustainability.
