CHICAGO, July 31, 2025 /PRNewswire/ --
HabitNu’s Role in the Ecosystem
HabitNu has pledged to:
1. Connect to CMS-Aligned Networks using FHIR APIs and secure identity protocols to access clinical data with patient consent
2. Personalize Prevention by combining clinical data with behavioral insights to deliver targeted coaching, habit nudges, and early alerts
3. Eliminate Redundant Intake through smart onboarding and data prefill tied to verified CMS records
4. Honor Privacy and Consent with HIPAA-compliant architecture and full patient control over data access
5. Report Meaningful Outcomes including weight loss, A1C improvement, retention, medication adherence, and coaching response rates
These commitments support CMS’s broader push to make digital health more functional, accessible, and outcomes-focused for Medicare and Medicaid populations.
Why It Matters for Public Health
Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries are disproportionately impacted by chronic conditions like obesity, diabetes, and hypertension, but often face barriers to preventive care.
HabitNu helps close that gap through a mobile-first platform combining coaching, habit tracking, connected devices, and culturally relevant content. Its programs are actively used across Medicaid and Medicare Advantage plans, public health agencies, and employer groups nationwide.
With this pledge, HabitNu will plug directly into CMS’s data infrastructure, allowing coaches and app-based tools to act on real-time clinical changes and care gaps, such as:
- A missed prescription refill
- A spike in blood pressure or A1C
- A new chronic condition diagnosis“This isn’t just a pledge—it’s a blueprint for the future of prevention,” said Dr. Sindhu Rajan, CEO at HabitNu. “CMS is building the infrastructure, and HabitNu delivers the behavior change that brings it to life. By linking clinical data to real-world habits, we can act earlier, tailor support, and finally close the gap between treatment and prevention. That’s what this ecosystem is built for, and exactly where HabitNu fits.”
