How Generative AI Helps Prevvy Reduce Health Disparities
Generative AI and digital patient journeys is an opportunity to advance Health Equity
Generative AI allows us to adapt Prevvy's reminders and recommendations to individual patient needs. For example, a reminder to take a medication could be personalized to include a reference to Cuban cuisine for a Cuban patient in Miami, or it could be translated into Spanish for a patient who doesn't speak English.

Health barriers driven by social determinants of health (SDOH) have worsened chronic disease management for patients dealing with chronic conditions, such as hypertension, diabetes, obesity, COPD, etc. For example, Mayo Clinic study detected 2 health barriers 50% probability of patient with uncontrolled hypertension.
Breaking Barriers in Virtual Care
Over the past six months we have been working with Community Healthcare Network, (www.chnnyc.org) (a network of 15 FQHCs in the NY area) in a remote care program. Funded by HRSA, CHN has started a remote monitor program for patients with hypertension
It has been a great experience, one in which both CHN and Prevvy have learned a lot and overcome challenges that are common to these types of programs. Together, we have broken (and continue to break) barriers that make remote care programs difficult to expand.
CHN launches with Prevvy a new remote care program for hypertension patients
Community Healthcare Network (CHN), a network of 14 FQHCs caring for more than 85,000 patients throughout New York City, is launching their first remote care program to improve blood pressure control using Prevvy as their Virtual Care platform of choice
In January of this year, HHS awarded $90 Million to support health centers in addressing hypertension among racial and ethnic minorities. Community Healthcare Network was one of the awardees that for the next three years will work to improve blood pressure control through the use of remote patient monitoring technology.
CHN and Prevvy will share their experience on the initial pilot at the Regional Hypertension Summit of the American Heart Association on Oct 29, 2021.
