BOSTON– U.S. healthcare is falling short. It spends more on healthcare per capita than any other country, yet compared to its international peers, it ranks last in health outcomes.
Byron Sanders, CEO of Arete Health, notes, “Patients deserve better. They deserve a true partner in health—one that funds access to the latest bio-medical innovations to identify risks and symptoms early, that proposes actionable steps so people can course-correct to avoid serious illness and live thriving, full lives. Arete Health and HealthLab are making that vision a reality by partnering with InsideTracker, the leading health-analytics software provider.”
This bundled healthcare benefit, fully covered by insurance, combines comprehensive blood testing with InsideTracker’s clinically validated recommendation engine. Based on their blood results, employees will receive personalized health coaching and actionable recommendations to improve their diet, exercise, and overall well-being. This will empower them to proactively address potential health concerns.
InsideTracker’s entry into healthcare establishes it as the leader in a busy welltech market. Its platform is supported by peer-reviewed research and draws insight from more than a decade’s worth of biomarker data. It’s HIPAA compliant and SOC2 Type II certified. These qualities make it uniquely equipped to meet the stringent, high-volume demands of healthcare.
“People are tired of a healthcare system that ignores them until they have a serious condition,” says Byron Sanders, CEO of Arete Health. “Our partnership with InsideTracker represents a true paradigm shift. We’re moving beyond traditional ‘sick care’ by prioritizing prevention and early intervention. By empowering employees with data-driven insights and personalized guidance, we can help them build lasting health and reduce the burden of chronic disease.”
In a pilot study, Arete found that preventative health services could reduce overall healthcare costs by 76%. For example: By offering 3,000 HbA1c tests, the researchers identified 193 people at risk for prediabetes. The cost savings for treating these patients early came to $1.7 million. Plus, it allowed patients to avoid the pain and suffering of a more serious issue, like type 2 diabetes.
In addition to HbA1c, InsideTracker will measure dozens of biomarkers associated with heart health, brain function, inflammation, sleep, hormone balance, and other critical areas of health. Then it will pair that with guidance and recommendations that help users avoid disease, make lasting behavior changes, and live healthier, more fulfilling lives.
