Metabolic syndrome management programs have everyone talking because of the widespread nature of this relatively new health condition. Metabolic syndrome is a combination of medical disorders that, when occurring together, increase the risk of developing cardiovascular disease and diabetes.

Cardeum’s ability to design and implement metabolic syndrome management programs is unparalleled.

Our programs focus on providing support to patients through home diagnostics for monitoring of their disease, as well as management, prevention, and lifestyle changes advised by a team of medical professionals. Our programs have seen significant improvements for patient populations and include:

• An ehealth device in the home
• Daily monitoring of vital signs
• Individualized coaching
• Timely education
• Medication compliance
• A specialized clinical team trained in chronic disease management

Who Is at Risk?

The risks of developing metabolic syndrome also increase with age. Those most at risk have central obesity with any two of the following:

• Elevated triglycerides > 150 mg/dl
• Elevated b/p > 130/85
• Reduced HDL cholesterol < 40 mg/dl
• Elevated fasting blood glucose > 100

One of the most effective ways of managing metabolic syndrome is through proactive ehealth metabolic syndrome management programs. Telemonitoring can support the treatment of both the individual diseases and the overall condition. Cardeum can design and implements education, coaching, and medical monitoring programs for employees, patients, and the at-risk population to manage and prevent health issues related to metabolic syndrome.
