On His Own Terms: Living Better with Ochsner Digital Medicine

For Ochsner Digital Medicine member Marc A, the benefits of the program are obvious. Marc believes fewer health problems mean fewer intrusions; for him, using Digital Medicine is the key to that freedom. The program keeps him on track to stay healthy, allowing him to live his life the way he wants.  

Before joining the program, Marc would struggle with his high blood pressure and Type 2 diabetes, leading to frequent hospital visits. When his wife, Liz, was told about Ochsner Digital Medicine, they decided to try it. Now, using simple digital tools, Marc can check his blood pressure and blood sugar every day, knowing his results go straight to his care team. For Marc, this remote patient monitoring means more control, fewer surprises and proof that his health is improving.

“It's really (a wonderful program). I'm a true believer, and it has made me a healthier person, “ says Marc. 

Liz has noticed the difference, too. She likes how the program is easy to use and travels well, which they appreciated during a busy year of travel. No matter where they were, Marc could still track his readings. That kind of freedom and flexibility is hard to beat.

“We've had an opportunity to see the differences in healthcare and hospitals … and unmatched, Ochsner comes out ahead,” says Liz. 

Digital Medicine lets Marc feel in charge of his health without needing to visit the doctor all the time. He believes that staying healthy now means fewer disruptions later—and more time to enjoy life.

Marc has a message for men who want to manage their health confidently: “If you're talking straight, it is a good program that more people can and should take advantage of,” he says.
