Introduction
At Nexus Medicine, the future of healthcare isn’t a distant vision—it’s happening now. With the rise of wearable technology, real-time patient data, and precision medicine, Nexus Medicine needed a centralized platform to bring all of these insights together for better patient outcomes.
Faced with the limitations of traditional EHRs, fragmented data sources, and difficulty in proactive care, Nexus Medicine turned to Heads Up Health to create an integrated, structured, and proactive approach to healthcare.
The Challenge: Data Fragmentation & Inefficient Workflows
The Problem with Traditional EHRs
Trei Tackett, a nurse practitioner at Nexus Medicine, saw firsthand how conventional healthcare systems fail to empower both patients and practitioners. Despite his deep passion for preventive medicine, the traditional medical system was reactive, often unable to intervene until patients were already sick.
“I was having trouble helping people before they became ill. The traditional system made it hard to track and manage patient data in a way that allowed for proactive decision-making.”
Even in precision medicine, managing biometric data, wearable tracking, and lab results was incredibly time-consuming and inefficient. EHR systems weren’t built for real-time data tracking, meaning practitioners had to piece together multiple disconnected platforms to get a complete picture of a patient’s health.
The Wearable Data Dilemma
For Nexus Medicine, tracking biometric and metabolic health was essential. Patients were using:
- Apple Watch, Oura Ring, Whoop for sleep, HRV, and fitness tracking
- Dexcom & Libre CGM for continuous glucose monitoring
- Lab tests & microbiome analysis for metabolic and aging biomarkers
However, there was no single place to unify this data into structured reports. Practitioners had to log into multiple systems, review data manually, and try to make sense of it all before seeing a patient.
“There was a lot of friction. Communication was an issue. You want to have people aware of what data you’re looking at and have it readily available—whether it’s biometric data, lab data, or prior reports.”
Without a streamlined, integrated system, preparing for a patient call took too long, making precision medicine inefficient and limiting the ability to take immediate action on important health insights.
The Solution: Unifying Data & Automating Insights with Heads Up Health
When Nexus Medicine implemented Heads Up Health, everything changed.
One Centralized Platform for All Health Data
Heads Up Health eliminated the need for multiple software tools by consolidating:
✔ Wearable data (Apple Watch, Oura, Dexcom, Libre CGM)
✔ Lab results & structured biometrics
✔ Microbiome & epigenetic aging trends
✔ Customizable health reports & patient engagement tools
“Having a place like Heads Up where I can see all that data—being able to combine labs into structured reports and generate trend analyses—has been a huge help.
Now, Nexus Medicine can see all patient data in one place, track long-term trends, and create structured reports instantly—without the manual workload.
Real-Time Monitoring & Proactive Health Interventions
Heads Up Health’s Signals feature became a game-changer for Nexus Medicine. Instead of waiting for periodic check-ups to catch health changes, the platform’s real-time alerts helped practitioners act immediately when a patient’s biometrics fell outside optimal ranges.
“Signals have been really helpful in being able to see whenever someone is falling outside of a desired range. Having an immediate response increases client engagement and improves outcomes.”
Now, instead of reacting to chronic health conditions, Nexus Medicine could intervene early—empowering patients to make lifestyle adjustments before serious issues developed.
Enhanced Patient Engagement & Adherence
By providing patients direct access to their own health metrics via the mobile app and web portal, Nexus Medicine saw a massive improvement in patient buy-in.
“I find that there’s a lot more buy-in on the client side. Patients are excited to track their numbers because it’s so readily available. The engagement is just higher that way.”
Patients could see progress in real-time, understand why certain biomarkers mattered, and feel more in control of their health journey—leading to higher adherence and better outcomes.
Improved Efficiency & Faster Appointments
Before using Heads Up Health, preparing for patient calls was inefficient—practitioners had to manually gather lab reports, device data, and historical trends before consultations.
With Heads Up Health, all structured reports were automatically generated, allowing practitioners to prepare in minutes instead of hours.
“I feel confident going into patient calls knowing I have all the data at my fingertips. The improvement over a typical EHR has been vast.”
The Results: A More Efficient, Data-Driven, and Proactive Practice
Since implementing Heads Up Health, Nexus Medicine has seen transformative results:
- Streamlined data management – Consolidated wearables, labs, and biometrics into a single dashboard.
- Improved patient engagement – Patients are more motivated to track their health progress.
- Faster & more efficient consultations – Reduced prep time and increased focus on personalized care.
- Proactive health interventions – Real-time alerts empower practitioners to catch problems early.
- Eliminated software bloat – Heads Up replaced multiple fragmented tools with one seamless platform.
“Heads Up allows practitioners looking to be preventive to do exactly what they want to do. Instead of piecing together multiple platforms, we now have one powerful tool that lets us be more efficient and effective.”
“I would definitely recommend Heads Up. Many practitioners are piecing together four, five, six software tools to get what they need. Heads Up eliminates that need and allows us to serve patients adequately and efficiently.”
