The company works with employers to provide care to their employees
One in four Americans suffers from a digestive disorder, and many of these conditions go undiagnosed for years, increasing the risk of complications as well as the costs of treatment. It’s not only the patients who suffer but their employers as well, as GI issues are among the top five healthcare expenses for many companies, exceeding the total healthcare bill for trauma, mental health, and even heart disease.
“Patients are frequently reluctant to bring up their digestive problems with healthcare providers, and even if they do, they face a fragmented care system that requires multiple visits to and follow-ups with primary care providers, internists and gastroenterologists who don’t typically communicate with each other,” said Bill Snyder, CEO of digital digestive health company
