health@hand LLC

health@hand recognizes that people do not want to take medicines and physicians do not want to prescribe pills, particularly when healthy living can have a similar impact without the side effects or cost. health@hand's goals are to help patients partner with their healthcare providers to: (1) prevent the need for starting medicine to lower high blood pressure and high blood sugar in patients with pre-hypertension/early hypertension and pre-diabetes/early diabetes (2) reduce/stop medications for high blood pressure and blood sugar through weight loss/lifestyle change coupled with home monitoring of blood pressure, blood sugar, and weight—the app/website tools also help patients and their providers increase/re-start medications during periods of weight re-gain, to prevent organ damage from high blood pressure/blood sugar which have no symptoms (3) identify prescription medications associated with weight gain/increased appetite and weight loss/appetite loss, including opportunities for drug-class switching to optimize weight-loss efforts. health@hand's innovative technology is supported by years of work, research, and analyses performed by founder Dr. Turer/collaborators regarding (1) the amount of weight loss needed to reduce the dose and number of anti-hypertensive and diabetes medications, and (2) use of medical technologies that allow home monitoring of weight, blood pressure, and blood sugar.
