纽约--（商业新闻短讯）--领先的在线行为健康保健公司Talkspace（纳斯达克：TALK）今天宣布与Wisdo health建立战略合作伙伴关系，Wisdo health是一家经过临床验证且以人工智能为动力的社会健康和同伴支持平台，专注于对抗孤独感。这项合作旨在改善65岁以上社区获得心理健康资源的机会，同时降低医疗保健成本，增加会员参与度，并解决老年人普遍存在的日益严重的心理健康危机。。

Loneliness is a critical issue for millions of seniors across the U.S., with approximately 40% of individuals aged 65+ self-identifying as lonely. In a landmark 2023 advisory, the U.S. Surgeon General declared loneliness and social isolation a public health crisis, comparing the health risks of social disconnection to smoking 15 cigarettes a day.

孤独感是美国数百万老年人面临的一个关键问题，大约40%的65岁以上的老年人自我认定为孤独。在一份具有里程碑意义的2023年咨询报告中，美国外科医生宣布孤独和社会孤立是一场公共健康危机，将社交脱节的健康风险与每天抽15支香烟进行比较。

The advisory further highlighted that loneliness doubles the risk of depression and anxiety and that socially isolated individuals experience higher rates of emergency room visits, hospitalizations, and primary care usage​. In fact, each socially isolated older adult accounts for $1,643 more in annual Medicare spending costs.1.

该咨询进一步强调，孤独感会使抑郁和焦虑的风险增加一倍，而社交孤立的人在急诊室就诊、住院和初级保健方面的使用率更高。事实上，每个社交孤立的老年人在年度医疗保险支出中多占1643美元。

'By partnering with Wisdo Health, we are deepening our mental health care expertise for older adults as well as addressing the hidden epidemic faced by this population,' said Erin Boyd, Chief Growth Officer at Talkspace. 'Together, we offer Medicare Advantage plans a continuum of evidenced-based care, from 24/7 peer communities to therapy with licensed providers, helping them address the unique needs of the senior population at scale.”.

Talkspace首席增长官艾琳·博伊德（ErinBoyd）说：“通过与Wisdo Health合作，我们正在深化针对老年人的心理保健专业知识，并解决这一人群面临的隐性流行病。”总之，我们为Medicare Advantage计划提供了一系列基于证据的护理，从24/7同龄人社区到有执照的提供者的治疗，帮助他们大规模解决老年人群的独特需求。”。

Wisdo Health brings valuable research and expertise on loneliness and has demonstrated clinically significant reductions in loneliness while improving quality of life and mental health outcomes, including 28% reduction in depression symptoms.2 Its platform uses a patented AI precision matching technology to connect members with trained peers who have been in their shoes, along with 30+ moderated communities and group coaching to build social resilience and healthy habits, all continuously tailored to each member’s unique persona.

。

The platform also generates actionable data on clinical outcomes and gaps in care. When therapy is deemed appropriate or necessary, users will be easily referred to Talkspace therapy and can use their Medicare benefits (depending on their state of residence)..

该平台还生成有关临床结果和护理差距的可行数据。当治疗被认为是适当或必要时，用户将很容易被转介到谈话空间治疗，并可以使用他们的医疗保险福利（取决于他们的居住状态）。。

“Peer support provides an evidence-based and scalable solution to address the loneliness epidemic, improve mental health outcomes, and reduce cost, said Wisdo Health Chief Executive Officer Ron Goldman. “By partnering with Talkspace, we are advancing our mission to help people lead happier, healthier lives through meaningful connections and community support.”.

Wisdo health首席执行官Ron Goldman说：“同伴支持提供了一种循证且可扩展的解决方案，可以解决孤独感的流行，改善心理健康状况，降低成本。通过与Talkspace的合作，我们正在推进我们的使命，通过有意义的联系和社区支持，帮助人们过上更幸福、更健康的生活。”。

This partnership comes as Talkspace continues to expand its mental health services for older adults, including offering in-network access through Medicare, now available in 30 states including NY, TX, CA, FL, and OH, along with select Medicare Advantage plans.

此次合作正值Talkspace继续扩大其针对老年人的心理健康服务之际，包括通过Medicare提供网络接入服务，目前该服务已在纽约州、德克萨斯州、加利福尼亚州、佛罗里达州和俄亥俄州等30个州提供，并有部分Medicare Advantage计划。
