Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States. Although dubbed the “silent killer”, even after patients have had some sort of intervention or episode, 43% of patients end up being re-admitted to the hospital. Most cardiac recovery programs cover just 12-weeks post-event. Recora Health is a digital cardiac recovery program that works with insurers and health care providers to deliver comprehensive long-term lasting solutions to the epidemic of heart disease for patients so that they can successfully manage their heart disease and implement the necessary lifestyle changes to ensure a healthy, long life. The signature program includes all the equipment necessary to manage heart disease including exercise bands, tablets, and blood pressure monitors, a dedicated care team, educational resources, and access to tailored virtual care. Only 11% of Recora patients are readmitted to the hospital, 87% complete the program vs 26% for standard programs, 90% are able to successfully decrease their blood pressure, and 94% are taking their medications as necessary. The company through its regional insurance and health care partners currently serves 30,000+ cardiac care patients, making true value-based cardiac rehabilitation care accessible and affordable with plans to expand nationally.
