Hinge Health

So there you have it! At Hinge Health we just wrapped up our 3rd Annual Movement Conference - and I am so grateful for the 350+ attendees who came to beautiful Chicago to talk about the state of our industry. It was standing room only at The Old Post Office, and the energy was palpable. - Ellen Kelsay and Jim Pursley led a fantastic (and interactive!) fireside chat on how to make healthcare less painful → data sharing was top-of-mind for many employers on how digital health solutions can better work together.  - Mario Queiroz and Inessa Lurye reviewed our product pipeline and announced our Global and our Menopause products - the latter being an overlooked area in healthcare.  - Our Enso station needed more Ensos!  - Two members shared incredibly human and touching stories - Jenn overcame her depression by first overcoming debilitating shoulder pain, and Rhonda refused to accept that pelvic pain was just a part of life.  - We had several breakouts on women’s health, cardiovascular, navigation, and mental health - thank you Progyny, Inc., Hello Heart, Lyra Health and Accolade, Inc.  - We had several industry panels to learn best practices - not just about deploying an MSK solution, but how to sift through the Cambrian Explosion of digital health products on the market and ensure successful implementation. What’s the point of putting so much work into launching a new service for your members if no one uses it? I was grateful to discuss our perspective that if Wave 1 of Digital Health was about building separate solutions disconnected from the existing healthcare infrastructure, we hope Wave 2 of Digital Health will involve unification with community providers. And lastly, thank you to our incredible team for putting this together - especially Marina Mastilović, Alexa F., Aleyna Blackwood, Mary Gruber, Michael Loesel, Jenny Sucov, Stephanie Yee, Eric Suliga, Kara Hieatt, Rafael Ornelas, Sara Schmidt, Sherry Shen, Milana Shapira and more.

That's a wrap on our third annual Movement Conference in Chicago yesterday! We were inspired by hearing incredible speakers in interactive sessions discuss tackling pain and mental health, women's health, AI, and more. Our executives shared the stage with an impressive lineup of experts, including Ellen Kelsay, Kerrie Holley, Kelly Leonard, Zack Papalia, PhD, MPH, Katrina Decato, Mandie Conforti, LCSW, Sue Lindholm, and Jennifer Simms. Thank you for helping to make Movement a success! And thank you to the hundreds of attendees who joined us for a day of collaboration and conversation about how we can work together to make healthcare less painful. We hope you left with actionable insights and strategies to implement in your organizations. More highlights to come, and see you again next year!

As a proud member of the Partnership to Advance Virtual Care, we strongly advocate for extending safe-harbor protections for virtual care services, ensuring millions of Americans with health savings accounts (HSAs) and high-deductible health plans (HDHPs) maintain access to pre-deductible coverage. We urge Congress to act swiftly to make this critical coverage permanent, safeguarding patient access to programs like ours.

At our Movement Conference today in Chicago, we proudly announced the launch of movement-based menopause support, tailored to individuals with musculoskeletal (MSK) and pelvic health conditions. This support is crucial as menopause can worsen existing joint, muscle, and pelvic health symptoms while triggering new physical, cognitive, and psychological symptoms. Our program takes a comprehensive approach to menopause care, featuring: 1️⃣ Expert guidance from physical therapists and board-certified coaches who receive specialized training in menopause 2️⃣ Movement-based symptom management tackling the interplay of MSK, pelvic health, and menopause symptoms 3️⃣ Lifestyle and behavior change strategies such as guided breathing to alleviate vasomotor symptoms 4️⃣ Education and access to in-network providers ensure members understand their symptoms and available treatment options By supporting women through menopause, we're enhancing their overall wellbeing and empowering employers to boost employee retention and productivity, resulting in cost savings and a healthier workforce.
