The Story Between Visits: A New Lens on Cardiometabolic Care
Cardiometabolic care is often discussed through the lens of prevalence, cost, and employer burden, but those data points often do not fully explain why many people struggle to sustain progress across obesity, hypertension, prediabetes, cholesterol, and other overlapping risks. This webinar will reframe the conversation by focusing on cardiometabolic care as a lived human experience, exploring what happens between office visits, during moments of change, and across multiple conditions at once.
This clinically grounded discussion will uncover key themes emerging from Omada members’ experiences in the GLP-1 area, informed by specialists who have worked directly with members, and what those insights could mean for employers evaluating cardiometabolic benefit solutions. The conversation will also examine how benefits can complement physician care, why integrated support matters, and how cholesterol management can serve as a useful example of the need for a more connected cardiometabolic strategy.
In this session, the speakers will cover
- Why population-level statistics alone do not explain the day-to-day barriers members face in sustaining cardiometabolic progress.
- What the “between-visit” period reveals about adherence, confidence, habit formation, and the need for more practical support.
- How obesity, hypertension, diabetes, and cholesterol are experienced as one interconnected health story rather than separate benefit categories.
- What employers should look for when evaluating cardiometabolic and GLP-1-related solutions, including signs that a program truly complements physician care instead of adding fragmentation.
