Corrie is an evidenced-based digital health program that has been evaluated in the Myocardial Infarction, COmbined-device, Recovery Enhancement MiCORE Study (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT03760796) at 4 hospitals and was shown to reduce risk of 30-day readmission, improve patient experience, and create cost-savings. Corrie is a prescription strength virtual care program that consists of a smartphone application paired with a smartwatch and bluetooth blood pressure cuff. Key features of Corrie include 1) tracking and reminders for cardiac medications; 2) monitoring BP with an Food and Drug Administration–approved wireless BP cuff; 3) promoting exercise, physical activity, step tracking, via a smartwatch 4) providing peer-reviewed educational videos and articles on diet, medications, and how to prevent CVD/hypertension/dyslipidemia/glucose intolerance through lifestyle modification; 5) reviewing patient reported data through a check-up feature that allows patients to send health summary reports of physical activity and vitals to clinicians; and 6) connecting with providers and addressing social determinants of health services to optimize guideline-directed evidence-based care. In the era of COVID-19 and beyond the Corrie program is a technology-enhanced patient experience that provides the fundamental care components, data collection, and support for optimal cardiac recovery.

Helping to solve one of the largest problems facing global healthcare, we are fortunate to have a Johns Hopkins team that has been intensively working in digital health technology and leading the world in its development, evaluation, and integration with healthcare delivery. The Corrie Health® Platform is the culmination of 4 years of cross-university teamwork and research at Johns Hopkins to improve evidenced-based care at Johns Hopkins and across the country. Corrie (“Cor” is Latin for heart) was created by an interdisciplinary team of Johns Hopkins cardiologists, internists, nurses, engineers, Armstrong patient safety and quality improvement leaders, and behavioral health specialists, in partnership with Apple designers and patients to improve cardiovascular prevention. Corrie’s intuitive user interface was built in close collaboration with engineers and designers at Apple to empower patients in self-management, and is now available on Android as well. At its core, the Corrie Health® Digital Platform is a smartphone application driving self-management of medications, vitals, activity, and care coordination connected to cooperative sensors including a smartwatch and wireless blood pressure cuff. The Corrie Cloud securely stores data metrics and vitals from the app to make them accessible within the upcoming Corrie Portal where real-time data analysis is performed to detect digital biomarkers and activate external actions via the Corrie Decision Engine. This will trigger near real-time alerts on Corrie Care for providers, care companions, and pharmacists so they can respond in a timely fashion to risk signals detected from changes in the patient’s clinical status. Corrie Health® is the intersection of enhanced patient engagement, data analytics targeting digital biomarkers, and remote monitoring working together to reduce hospital readmissions and promote personalized, cost-effective care. The Corrie Care app and the Corrie Portal will initially be available as a technology preview and grow in features as we continue to gather feedback. Corrie Health® offers major value to Hospitals by providing a clinically validated digital health platform deployed in the acute care setting. The Corrie Myocardial infarction, COmbined-device, Recovery Enhancement (MiCORE) Study examined whether using the Corrie Health Digital Platform could reduce all-cause, unplanned 30-day hospital readmissions and related healthcare costs for acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients as compared to a historical comparison group. The study was carried out at two leading academic hospitals, Massachusetts General and Johns Hopkins, and two community hospitals, Reading Health System and Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center. Corrie was the intervention in the study that served as a self-management digital health program to support guideline-directed care including: 1) medication adherence, 2) vitals monitoring, 3) peer-reviewed education, 4) physical activity, 5) follow-up appointment tracking, and 6) connection with clinicians. From October 1, 2016 to April 14, 2019, 200 English-speaking adults diagnosed with Type I AMI who owned a smartphone were enrolled across four hospitals in the United States. Patients received Corrie as early as possible in their hospitalization and were encouraged to use it during the hospitalization through 30 days post-hospital discharge. The historical comparison group consisted of 864 adults who were admitted between October 2015-2016 with STEMI or NSTEMI from these study hospitals. The final results are under review but showed: ● Major reduction in risk of 30-day all cause readmission compared to the historical control group ● Significant cost savings per patient compared to standard of care alone for a hospital and increased quality of life years. [Based on the assumption that Corrie costs $3,000 per patient. Cost savings is per hospital based on savings from readmission reduction] ● Majority of Corrie users felt confident managing medications, follow-up appointments, and home care at 30 days

"My practice was introduced to SparroWell through the ACO we are part of. I had no clue what CCM was but after 5 minutes on the phone with Ernestina, I was sold. Literally, sold.

She was able to get started within a few days and within a couple of weeks we had a full-functioning chronic care management program going! My NPs didn't need to do anything.

The nurses from SparroWell let us know of issues that were found with our patients..... some of those issues could have led to unnecessary hospitalizations. We have started seeing residents in our communities switch over to our practice, which has been nice to see. 

Our ACO attribution has increased significantly from last year, which is SUPER nice to see and our monthly reporting shows high risk resident costs decreasing."

“We have had over two years of hands-on CCM experience. We built a turnkey operation from the ground up with a different partner that was pretty successful from conception. As we grew we realized that we had our own limitations of staff, knowledge, and execution of meaningful visits. We were stuck and couldn't grow. A colleague introduced SparroWell to our group and I could tell right away they were different. 

From the very beginning it's been smooth, exactly as promised, and honestly, much better than we anticipated. Ernestina and her team are truly a turnkey operation that has eased our minds about the future of our CCM experience. 

Her team guided us through the onboarding, put in the hours and the time to get started, and has exceeded our expectations with customer service. We have not had a single complaint about any member of the SparroWell team and it has been refreshing. 

Hands down best decision we have made.”

"When I logged on this morning, I noticed a message from one of my providers....this didn't just make my day....it made my entire month! 

He said "Just thought I would let you know that my communities have had such positive things to say about you! They really enjoy collaborating with you and all have expressed appreciation for everything you help them with. Keep knocking it out of the park!"

“Honestly, I hadn't ever heard of Chronic Care Management before our medical director introduced us to our CCM Case Manager. 

Now, I wonder why every single medical director doesn't have a CCM program. Our CCM nurse has prevented several tags that I know of and I would imagine SOOO many more that we don't!

Our CCM nurse is an extremely valuable resource for our community.....we joke sometimes and tell her "where have you been all of my life?"

"Hello Dr. K, my mom and I just got off the phone with Katelyn. We just wanted to let you know just how much we enjoy her. 

I know mom worries quite a bit and calls Katelyn quite often. Anyways, we just wanted to thank you for bringing her on your team. I can definitely see mom's anxiety and worries about her health are becoming less and less since she seems to really like her.”
