Welldoc provided starting and ending A1C data from 3,000 BlueStar users to IBM Watson for a retrospective analysis funded by Welldoc. IBM Watson mapped this data onto their patient claims database to estimate cost savings associated with utilizing BlueStar. Documented A1C reductions associated with BlueStar are correlated with cost differences associated with the following factors.
Hospitalizations & ER Visits
Cost of supplies and pharmacies
Cost of co-morbid complications
