BehaVR and Fern Health have officially merged to introduce RealizedCare, a pioneering digital care management solution focused on chronic pain. The strategic partnership aims to meet the rising demand for evidence-based, scalable, and economically viable solutions in mental and behavioural health. RealizedCare's platform integrates Digital Therapeutics (DTx) with traditional services, offering a comprehensive approach to chronic pain management at scale.
Pharmaceutical company Grünenthal, the parent company of Fern Health, becomes the largest investor in the newly formed enterprise, emphasising a shared vision of creating impactful solutions for mental and behavioural health challenges. Chronic pain affects millions in the United States, resulting in significant annual costs. RealizedCare addresses this by providing a disruptive care management platform that represents a pivotal moment in the evolution of healthcare delivery.
RealizedCare collaborates with health plans, employers, and value-based providers to identify and engage members with chronic pain. Users receive digital interventions, access a supportive community, and can be referred to clinicians as needed. The merger combines BehaVR's expertise in immersive, evidence-based DTx with Fern Health's innovative virtual chronic pain management programs, enhancing the overall impact and engagement of RealizedCare's suite of clinically validated therapeutics.
RealizedCare's approach includes assigning pain coaches, offering personalised care plans, and providing access to a community of over 160,000 people living with chronic pain for peer support. The platform aims to improve pain management, reduce unnecessary medical interventions, and ultimately enhance the quality of life for individuals dealing with chronic pain.
