Q3 UPDATES: A WATERSHED MOMENT IN THE MISSION AGAINST LONELINESS 


In the second half of 2023, we are witnessing a watershed moment in how US
healthcare is recognizing the urgency to tackle the epidemic of Loneliness and
Social Isolation across the nation.  

 

In May 2023, the US Surgeon General issued the  Advisory about the Epidemic of
Loneliness and Social Isolation, firmly arguing that “Social connection is a
fundamental human need, as essential to survival as food, water, and shelter.” 

 

Last week, Senator Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) introduced legislation titled  “The
National Strategy for Social Connection Act,” which would create an Office of
Social Connection Policy within the White House and provide significant funding
to address loneliness nationwide.

 

Today, 50% of American adults suffer from loneliness and its devastating impact
on health outcomes, costs, and engagement, which include:

 * 2x risk of developing depression and anxiety
 * 30% increased risk for heart disease and stroke
 * Lower engagement in clinical programs and adherence to treatment plans
 * $154B in additional costs for employers and $6.7B for Medicare Advantage
   plans. 

Since 2018, our company, Wisdo Health, has been working tirelessly to combat the
devastating effect of loneliness. We are proud to be the only digital health
solution referenced in the US Surgeon General report.

Today, Wisdo is the only platform with engagement and retention rates that are
20x the standard for digital behavioral health solutions, as well empirical
studies showing the efficacy of our peer support and social health platform in
reducing loneliness, social isolation, depression, and anxiety while increasing
quality of life among adults ages 18-80 including those with Medicare Advantage,
Medicaid, Commercial plans, and Low Income Subsidy.
