Empowering your patients for engagement
Engagement, outreach and comprehensive EHR solutions for medical groups
Partner with Calcium
In addition to providing a more comprehensive EHR resource for both patients and the medical professional, the Calcium platform also drives greater engagement and expanded recruitment for your group’s practice.
The challenge
Population health is both a continuing challenge and a potential area of opportunity for many medical groups and practices. Instead of just treating illnesses and chronic conditions, a population health approach allows your group to care for your patients more holistically and continuously.
Your group’s investment in electronic health record (EHR) systems are a good first step. You may have also taken the extra step of reengineering your practice to create care teams, as well as introduced initiatives like extended hours, open-access scheduling, online resources and closer supervision of patients with chronic conditions or high-risk lifestyles.
Unfortunately, it’s not enough, especially if your community has known health risk factors (personal, social and environmental) that contribute to health problems and increased costs.
For many medical practices and healthcare providers who want to do more for their patients’ health, the key challenge is addressing the gap in their patients’ engagement.
Calcium for group patient engagement
Calcium provides a platform that can help medical groups and healthcare providers finally get ahead of the curve – by focusing on the successful engagement and empowerment of their patient community.
Post-checkup management
Challenge: Patients with treatable risk factors or chronic conditions fail to follow recommendations, especially when long-term lifestyle changes are required to prevent serious illness or disease.
Solution: Calcium helps keep your patients on track with their medication and care management by making it easier for them—and you.
In addition to providing them with all their EMR data and your recommendations, we provide a detailed knowledge base and personalized program to guide them on the path to better health. We also collect real-time data from fitness apps (such as FitBit and Apple watches) and home medicla devices, to provide you with detailed tracking data during your next appointment or call.
Population engagement
Challenge: You’ve identified and advised high-risk patients on steps they need to take to address their chronic conditions, but many fail to follow recommendations due to lack of motivation.
Solution:Calcium employs an array of user feedback loops, advanced UX designs, proven gamification tactics and empowerment strategies to provide the personalized motivation many patients need to stay engaged and on the path.
Our platform also meets your patients where they’re situated.
Whether through online support forums on their tablet or through our handy app on their ever-present smart phone, we provide your patients with the resources, motivation and incentives they often need.
Helping patients manage their chronic conditions
The Calcium platform provides customizable health pathways that your patients and members can use to manage specific chronic diseases or their transitions to healthier lifestyles.
Weight management
Personalized and incentivized programs to help individuals get control of their weight.
Hypertension

Creating your own app-based care pathways
The Calcium platform not only improves your service and outreach. It can also expand your available service, to improve health outcomes, patient engagement and user loyalty.
Our Health Pathways feature allows you to create co-branded health management programs to help your patients even after your session ends.
You can use our platform to create pathways for weight loss, smoking cessation, exercise, nutrition or other health improvement regimens. You can then share your customized pathways with your users or market them to our Calcium community.
Engagement
Leverage your co-branded pathways to increase and improve engagement with your patients, as well as improve communication and collaboration with care managers.
Improvements
Instead of servicing one-off needs, help your patients get on the road to healthier lifestyles and better health outcomes. Use your experience and expertise to design effective programs for your key communities.
Loyalty
Increase user retention and return engagements by adding our gamification tools to your custom health pathways – which incentivize consistent use, daily activity and commitment to their personal health journeys.
Empowering your medical group’s patients
At Calcium, we believe that long-term success in population health for medical groups and practices depends on using technology and innovation to first give consumers more control over their health and care. One of many barriers to continued engagement with more of your population is the sense of powerlessness that patients often feel when confronted with a serious condition or chronic disease.
By putting consumers in greater control of their health journey, Calcium transforms the dynamic from care-centric to patient-driven. While this may be a minor distinction to some, giving people actual control is a big step toward the greater goal of continuous engagement and improved population health.

The next stage of population health
Technology and the population health movement has fueled many improvements and savings for our healthcare industry. But the full promise of improved public health outcomes has not yet been fulfilled.
There have been advances, along with a significant investment by healthcare providers throughout the healthcare ecosystem. But the promise of improved public health outcomes has not yet been fulfilled.
The reason is that many of the traditional behavior modification strategies we’ve relied on have proven less than effective in our fast-evolving digital world. The channels are there to engage the bulk of your population more effectively. What has been missing is a platform that not only leverages leading-edge technology and analytics, but also leverages behavior strategies aligned with today’s digital health environment.
Until now.
Thinkhealthier.
