Digital healthcare provider Oshi Health built its model for virtual-first gastrointestinal (GI) care on extensive clinical evidence for more effective, convenient, high-touch, and coordinated patient care. This model is now being evaluated in a prospective, pragmatic clinical trial in a large commercially insured population.
The year-long study is in partnership with a major national health plan that recognizes three critical factors that drive urgency for redesigning GI care delivery:
- Large population: Approximately one in five adults in the U.S. is diagnosed with a GI condition, including Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) — the second leading cause of workplace absenteeism, after the common cold.
