Three-Week Rollout Powers Kaia Health’s Digital MSK Solution into 2021

For employee benefits leaders, 2020 has been a year like no other—and that includes dealing with COVID restrictions, remote-work uncertainties, and challenging return-to-work issues. However, with Kaia Health’s rapid rollout capabilities, your benefits team still has time to implement a digital health solution in 2021.

Tackling MSK pain with evidence-based digital therapeutics

Using the power of our healthcare partnerships, depth-of-industry experience, and track record of successful rollouts, Kaia Health is here to help. The Kaia Health Pain Management app for musculoskeletal conditions was recently implemented for a major employer in just three weeks.

In addition to efficient digital MSK implementation, the Kaia Health app is also evidence-based.

In the largest randomized controlled trial of its kind to date, the Kaia Health digital MSK solution was recently proven to outperform standard-of-care treatment across all medical outcomes, including pain, anxiety, depression, stress, body function, and well-being. The Kaia Health MSK app is evidence-based, fast, and easy to implement, and it is driving success with an increasing number of employers and health plans through the following capabilities:

1. Turnkey “Rapid Rollout” implementation

Because employers can add Kaia Health through their existing health plan arrangement—for example with Optum—rollout can be completed in a matter of weeks. Once the Kaia Health contract is signed, our dedicated account manager and onboarding team work directly with your medical carrier to determine member eligibility for the Kaia Health program. Because the product requires no hardware, Kaia can be deployed quickly.

2. Customized integration

The Kaia Health app integrates with employers’ existing ecosystem, whether they are fully-insured or self-insured. Our app can also integrate with current MSK care navigation or center-of-excellence programs and any existing health coaching resources.

3.  Engagement

Kaia Health creates customized engagement communications in collaboration with the plan administrator and benefits team to help drive member enrollment in the program. Our multi-channel outreach campaign includes emails, phone calls, posters, webinars, a web portal, home mailers, and more, with a Welcome Kit and dedicated health coach assigned to each employee. Furthermore, each employee works with the same health coach for the length of their Kaia journey.

4. Onboarding

During the Kaia Health onboarding process, our experienced team will work with each employee to screen for contraindications, conduct a self-assessment, complete medical questionnaires, and assign a personal coach to guide the employee throughout their virtual MSK therapy program. If needed, the employee is redirected to other healthcare resources or assistance programs.

5. Security

Privacy and security are in our DNA. Kaia was born under the strict privacy regulations of the European Union and Germany and operates in compliance with the U.S. Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) of 1996. We handle all information in compliance with applicable law, and our security team is constantly improving and innovating the latest in digital health security.

Kaia’s digital MSK solution can be implemented rapidly and off-cycle

The Kaia Health Pain Management app offers employers and their members a unique blend of the most advanced digital MSK therapy supported by live, human coaching. Delivered through the user’s personal device, the Kaia Health app is immediately accessible with no wait times, providing real-time, whole-body feedback, without straps or sensors. The Kaia’s Health app’s AI engine and patented computer vision technology develops exercises specific to the condition and progress of the employee or member throughout his or her MSK care journey. We just need a couple of weeks to “flip on” the switch.
