Ochsner Digital Medicine
Ochsner Digital Medicine is a clinically proven program that helps patients manage high blood pressure, Type 2 diabetes, weight or hyperlipidemia from anywhere. By combining technology with expert clinical support, we deliver personalized, specialty cardiometabolic care.
Cardiometabolic Care Beyond the Clinic
Ochsner Digital Medicine supports patients in their everyday lives, not just during visits. Patients receive a no-cost digital blood pressure cuff or glucometer that connects with their smartphone, automatically uploading readings to their medical record and their care team, including a licensed clinician and professional health coaches.
With ongoing insight, not just single-visit snapshots, care teams can step in when it matters – adjusting medications, providing guidance and helping patients stay on track. More than 60,000 patients use Digital Medicine to manage high blood pressure or Type 2 diabetes – not just at appointments, but the moments in between.
For Health Systems
Ochsner Digital Medicine partners with health systems to deliver continuous, guideline-driven cardiometabolic disease management with full integration into Epic and provider workflows. Our digital care model works alongside primary care to reduce complications and free providers to focus on higher-acuity needs.
