Unlike many tech companies, we’re not here to disrupt; we’re here to methodically reinvent kidney care. We’re not here to replace clinicians; we’re here to empower them (especially our own Kidney HeroesTM) and the incredible relationships they build with patients. Ultimately, we’re here to dramatically multiply their effectiveness, and that’s why we call Strive Health’s platform the CareMultiplierTM.

Our physicians and Kidney HeroesTM have spent decades becoming healers and providers, but as much as 50% of their time can be spent on administrative tasks and not directly interacting with patients. The CareMultiplier™ platform, powered by proprietary machine learning algorithms, makes sense of massive amounts of data, cuts through the noise, and allows clinicians to focus on only doing what only they can do: high-touch patient care. The results are drastic reductions in unplanned dialysis starts or “crashes” and hospitalizations, higher adoption of home dialysis and slowed disease progression.

In April 2020, Strive Health launched the CareMultiplierTM in partnership with SSM Health in the greater St. Louis area. We certainly weren’t planning on a global pandemic, but the flexibility of our platform allowed us to easily pivot into a telehealth-first practice.

Once restrictions were lifted and it was safe, clinicians started to make more in-person visits at patients’ homes. Strive’s high-touch care model emphasizes home care for many patients so our Kidney HeroesTM can get a sense of a patient’s lifestyle, home environment and many other micro details that would be difficult to observe in a brick-and-mortar setting or over a phone or video call.

To date, we have implemented the technology in over a dozen markets including a robust CKCC program and in partnership with primary care providers, independent nephrology groups, payors and additional health systems. And, most importantly, we are already seeing the platform drive significant financial cost savings for our partners and measurable improvements in patient outcomes.
