Kaia Health, a digital musculoskeletal pain solution, is teaming up with Luna On-Demand Physical Therapy to provide patients in-person therapy at critical points along their recovery journey.
The partnership will expand access to care for more members, especially high-risk patients. Kaia Health serves 60 million people globally and strives to reduce inconsistencies, incomplete care, and duplicative services in musculoskeletal care.
“While Kaia Health digital therapy is the best, most accessible musculoskeletal pain solution for the vast majority of patients, some with recent orthopedic trauma, for example, will benefit from in-person physical therapy to significantly improve chances for a positive outcome and avoid surgery,” said Kim Clarno, DPT, director of clinical experience at Kaia Health.
The partnership will also allow a more integrated care experience for patients. Eligible patients will be able to schedule physical therapy at home or work and request the same specialized physical therapist for every appointment. This the company says will provide care consistency and continuity.
Kaia Health also offers live human coaching, tele-consultations with physical therapists, proprietary computer vision technology for exercise feedback with progress monitoring, and an expert, in-house medical review team.
“This partnership represents a major leap forward in our mission to make high-quality care accessible to all patients—wherever they are in their journey—and deliver the best outcomes,” said Konstantin Mehl, Kaia Health chief executive officer and founder.
“Partnering with Luna furthers our lead in the musculoskeletal market and extends our human-centered, digitally enables approach to managing musculoskeletal conditions.”
Palak Shah, co-founder and head of clinical services at Luna added that the partnership with Kaia Health is consistent with their philosophy to use digital care when appropriate, particularly as an entry point for in-person care.
“With Luna, Kaia Health solves accessibility issues by bringing physical therapy to members at home, on their own schedule. Delivering personalized and effective therapy in this way maximizes engagement and patient outcomes.”
