Employers and health plans interested in truly solving their musculoskeletal (MSK) issues must assemble a collection of disconnected vendors such as prevention/wellness, tele-PT, digital programs, expert medical opinion, centers of excellence (COEs) – resulting in a fragmented member care experience.
To address these failures in the continuum of MSK care, our most recent sponsor, Hinge Health, is pioneering the world’s most patient-centered Digital Clinic for back & joint pain. By expanding their clinical capabilities to provide an end-to-end Digital MSK Clinic, Hinge Health meets members along the MSK continuum of care from prevention to post-surgery.

Musculoskeletal Outcomes Validated by Stanford, UCSF & Vanderbilt
With all the hype around digital health, many employers and health plans might be wondering: Do digital health solutions actually solve chronic back or joint pain and reduce medical spend? MSK issues are the number one cost driver for medical spend—outpacing other conditions such as diabetes and cancer. However, in the world’s largest digital MSK study, researchers from Stanford, University of California San Francisco, and Vanderbilt University, demonstrated that Hinge Health’s digital MSK solution directly results in better outcomes at lower spend.
With over 10,000 participants, the longitudinal cohort study revealed that Hinge Health resulted in:
- 69% average pain reduction–that’s 4x more pain reduction compared to opioids
- 58% average reduction in depression & anxiety
- 3 in 4 participants completed the program, making it the industry’s highest 12- week adherence rate
- $5,012 medical claims savings per participant per year
