As a Quarterfinalist, Lin stands out for its commitment to partnering with health systems, clinics, and payers to extend the care team through virtual delivery of high-touch and personalized pain recovery coaching, multidisciplinary clinical support, and evidence-based self-care resources, supported by an AI-driven platform purpose-built to holistically treat chronic pain. The company delivers hands-on support that drives patient engagement two to three times per week for six months on average with 80% of patients returning for the second month. This industry-leading patient adherence results in significant improvement in pain intensity within three months for 47% of Lin patients.
Lin is also a first-mover in bringing the new clinical and research understanding of primary pain to the market. This new medical diagnosis took effect in 2022, recognizing that the nervous system creates and amplifies pain, causing symptoms as diverse as migraines, irritable bowel syndrome, and back and joint pain.
"The WHO's inclusion of chronic primary pain in the ICD-11 marked a paradigm shift," said Lin Health CEO and Co-Founder Yehuda Kogan. "Targeting the nervous system is highly effective in treating all types of chronic pain, but this behavioral health-oriented intervention is inaccessible to most patients and providers because it's very high-touch and not yet included in standard medical training. Being named a Quarterfinalist reflects Lin Health's commitment to driving meaningful change in the healthcare landscape by offering more patients and providers access to this longitudinal chronic pain care that is highly scalable and affordable, non-invasive with no side effects, and – importantly – is human-led to keep the patient at the center of their care in collaboration with their referring provider."
The Digital Health Hub Foundation Awards honor outstanding health technologies and innovations dramatically transforming healthcare by improving healthcare speed, efficiency, and equity. The Consumer Wellness category highlights digital health products, services, and experiences designed to prioritize the overall well-being of consumers, empower them to take control of their health, and prevent health problems from occurring and/or worsening. Finalists will be announced Sept. 20, 2024 and the winners will be announced at the Grand Finale on Oct. 21, 2024 at the HLTH Conference in Las Vegas.
"This year has set a new benchmark for excellence, with a remarkable influx of global submissions showcasing groundbreaking innovations in digital health," said Chairman of the Digital Health Hub Foundation Mark Goldstein. "The level of ingenuity and commitment we've seen is truly inspiring. Congratulations to all of our Quarterfinalists for their outstanding achievements."
