Cover Proactive

Overview

Proactive Health is an innovative medical technology company that helps patients have peace of mind for themselves and their loved ones. Their mission is to reshape healthcare from a reactive to a proactive model to reduce healthcare costs and improve outcomes.

The Agency of Health and Research quality states “25-30% of hospitalizations each year are preventable if the problem was caught sooner”. Proactive Health aims to reduce the number of unnecessary hospitalizations by identifying health concerns early so physicians can take immediate action.

By using advanced technology the team at Proactive Health monitors patients’ vital signs continuously, which allows for early detection of any changes that may indicate health concerns, allowing for early intervention. The goal is to reduce hospital readmissions and healthcare costs while promoting longer, healthier lives.

Business Challenges

Effective patient monitoring demands more than occasional data points. Proactive Health’s innovative approach requires ongoing monitoring and tracking of patient’s vital signs. The medical team starts by collecting baseline values on the patient’s health. They then continuously watch for any changes that could indicate a change in health status.

Continuous monitoring and analysis of results requires software that offers the necessary features to streamline the data for analysis. Most EMR or patient tracking systems lack critical features, as they do not allow for continuous monitoring, and are designed to be utilized only to track patients during appointments or physician interactions.

Proactive Health needed a platform that would allow the integration of various health-tracking devices and allow for the monitoring of specific metrics related to the patient’s health.Dashboard 02

Technology Solution

HeadsUp Health offered the perfect solution to help the physician team track health metrics and vital signs in real-time. The platform connects with external devices to collect patient data, which can then be evaluated by the medical team.

For example, the Proactive Health team was able to connect a patient’s heart monitoring wrist strap with the HeadsUp Health platform, to keep close tabs on her chronic atrial fibrillation. After a few months on the monitoring program, the strap began to indicate a significant increase in resting heart rate. This change in heart rate was immediately identified by the Proactive Health team, utilizing the data inside the HeadsUp platform.

Proactive was able to inform the patient about the change and recommended she visit her cardiologist. Once in the office, the doctor discovered that she had gone into an episode of atrial fibrillation that required an ablation to return to normal. Proactive, with the assistance of HeadsUp Health, was able to quickly identify the change in baseline heart rate, so the patient could immediately receive the necessary intervention.Dashboard 02

Summary

Monitoring a patient’s vital signs in real time can significantly improve patient outcomes and reduce healthcare costs. However, practitioners need a convenient robust platform that connects to external devices that allow for monitoring of biometric patient data.

HeadsUp Health offers a robust, integrative platform with real-time tracking and early alerts on key health metrics. The goal is to empower medical teams to act swiftly when changes occur, driving better outcomes and peace of mind for patients and providers alike.

How Nexus Medicine Delivers Data-Driven Precision Care

How Nexus Medicine Delivers Data-Driven Precision Care

by | Mar 19, 2025 | Case Studies, Testimonial

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.”

Rectangle 1

Trei Tackett

Nexus Medicine

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.” 

Rectangle 1

Trei Tackett

Nexus Medicine

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.”

      Integrating RPM and HeadsUp technology into the practice has expanded options for cost-efficient and continuous client health monitoring, increased client engagement, and created opportunities for aggregate data collection and analysis.

      About

      The Living Proof Institute was established in 2011 by founder and CEO Dr. Sachin Patel, a chiropractor, functional medicine practice success coach, author, international speaker, and philanthropist.

      Dr. Patel’s career began as a chiropractor for sports, soft tissue injuries, and repetitive sports injuries. During this time, he realized that many of his clients primarily had chronic health issues, which led him to functional medicine.

      The Living Proof Institute was created with a commitment to helping clients find the root of their health challenges so that their bodies could heal themselves.

      Today, the Institute provides simple, practical, and affordable solutions that promote self-care and personal responsibility. This allows for client empowerment to be able to create abundant health from the comfort of their homes.

      Three major pillars for health in Living Proof’s philosophy on longevity is to support an individual’s breathing, circadian rhythms, and sleep quality. The Institute offers one-on-one and group Functional Wellness programs, a self-paced online program, and an email-based free program.

      With their innovative approach to longevity and functional medicine, the Living Proof Institute stands out for their clinical and business practices across the world.

      Business Challenges

      Heads Up Health worked with the Living Proof Institute to create a Remote Patient Monitoring solution to address their unique challenges:

      • Objective biomarker data
        • As an integrative medical practice based in Canada, chiropractors at Living Proof experienced challenges in being able to directly order lab tests for their clients. The practice needed to find a way to get biomarkers to assess client health without using expensive, invasive lab testing.
      • Comprehensive data collection
        • For their health coaching program, The Living Proof Institute needed a way to seamlessly integrate data from client journals and cutting-edge wearable devices (Oura ring) into a centralized dashboard.
      • Passive data collection
        • The functional wellness programs relied on active data collection from methods such as HeartMath, which led to incomplete client-led data collection. They needed a solution that could passively collect biometric data from clients, aggregate data, and make it easier to conduct research on client outcomes.
      • Uniform client experience
        •  The practitioners work with clients internationally and required commercially-available options that could be used throughout.

      Technology Solutions

      Heads Up worked with Living Proof to create a technology solution to help meet their unique needs. Heads Up helped the practice integrate the Oura ring, the top-of-the-line sleep and activity tracker, into monitoring parasympathetic nervous system activity and improving client outcomes.

      Heads Up also created a custom and centralized dashboard for clients to communicate with their functional medicine practitioners and health coaches at the Living Proof Institute.

      Oura Ring Integration

      The Oura ring is a highly sensitive wearable device that measures sleep, activity, and body stress signals.

      The primary biomarker used by the Living Proof Institute to assess client health is heart rate variability (HRV). This biomarker correlates to autonomic nervous system activity, and physiological changes from sympathetic to parasympathetic nervous system activity, indicative of healing and resilience down to the cellular level.

      Variations in HRV can be related to changes in illness, hydration status, sleep quality, physical and mental stress, and diet quality.

      In addition to HRV, the Oura ring allows for daily monitoring of respiratory rate, heart rate, deep sleep, temperature, and REM – key lifestyle factors that cannot be measured with bloodwork.Frame 1000003795

       

      Customized Dashboard

      Heads Up created a dashboard to integrate Oura ring data and self-reported client data into a single location for clients and providers. The Living Proof Institute utilizes the reports features to highlight client progress and personalize lifestyle recommendations.Frame 1000003794

      Health Coach

      The Living Proof Institute leverages health coaches to support its RPM programs.

      Health coach Alice Modrzejewski from the Institute runs one of the functional wellness programs. She works with clients to onboard them for ordering and sizing their Oura rings, connecting them to the Heads Up platform, and providing individualized coaching support for the length of the program.

      As a health coach, Alice utilizes the Heads Up dashboard to create weekly reports based on Oura ring data and client inputs. The custom Heads Up dashboard allows health coaches to easily communicate with clients, give personalized recommendations, and monitor trends from lifestyle changes.

      Business Outcomes

      By using the remote monitoring solution created by Heads Up, the Living Proof Institute was able to achieve the following outcomes:

      Increased Client Empowerment
