Better Lives with Care.Wallet: Cancer Prevention in the US

Cancer is the name given to a group of related diseases that attack the body’s cells and divide them without stopping. The Center for Disease Control (CDC) published recent data showing that cancer was the number one cause for death for both men and women between the ages of 45–64. In 2018, there were 1.7 million people in the US battling cancer.

Almost everyone knows someone who has been affected by cancer. Due to its prevalence, it is important to know what steps can be taken to reduce cancer risks. The CDC has stated that access to medical care for managing chronic issues, such as diabetes and getting vaccinations, can reduce the chances of getting cancer. Scheduling appointments for screenings can help catch cancer early, when treatment is most effective. Studies also show that getting enough physical activity, maintaining a healthy weight, and getting enough sleep help prevent cancer.

Solve.Care has created a platform that can help identify and mitigate the risks for developing cancer. With Care.Wallet, a patient has a single place to manage their appointments, prescriptions, records, and more. Care.Wallet includes numerous tools, such as the HAYFT Care.Card. This Care.Card allows a patient to check in daily with their doctor on how treatment is going and to give feedback on the side effects of medication. With Care.Circles, patients can choose to share their health data with family and friends, getting the support they need to manage their health journey.

Solve.Care’s platform also includes Care Networks designed to help with chronic illnesses, like diabetes. These Care Networks help patients and care teams track medications and manage treatment plans. With IoT device connectivity, a patient could also track and manage their weight, blood sugar levels, physical activity, and more, while automatically reporting these measurements to their care teams.

Access to care has never been easier with Care.Wallet. People can schedule an appointment and even add non-medical transportation to get there. Solve.Care is also working with partners to incorporate telemedicine options for rural patients who do not have easy access to proper facilities.

Everything at Solve.Care is being designed to improve the quality and efficiency of healthcare for everyone.
