When friction is reduced, people engage. That’s the key to boosting participation in early health screenings and checkups, and it’s why at-home preventive care is resonating across every demographic.
It’s easy to assume tech-enabled care only appeals to younger, urban populations. But the data tells a different story.
A recent internal data analysis reveals that Reperio Health’s average end-user is 42, with more than 30% over 50 and nearly 1 in 4 living in rural communities.
These are the people most likely to face barriers to care and the ones who benefit most from having screenings with instant results delivered to their doorsteps.
Take Jennifer: a 45-year-old mom of two, juggling a full-time job, family logistics, and aging parents. She lives in a rural area where a preventive screening means a 90-minute round trip. It’s not that she doesn’t value her health. It’s that she didn’t have time—until the care came to her.
Or Bill, 56, in small-town Missouri. He was skeptical of "virtual care." But after trying Reperio’s at-home kit, he skipped the drive, skipped the waiting room, and got real-time results—all from his kitchen table. When needed, a virtual provider was just a tap away. “This was the first time healthcare felt easy,” he told us.
Jennifer and Bill aren’t outliers.
That’s not just satisfaction. That’s advocacy.
But it’s not only about experience—it’s about impact.
Early detection saves lives and cuts costs. Chronic conditions like hypertension, diabetes, and high cholesterol drive more than 75% of total healthcare spending, yet often go undetected until costly complications arise.
According to the CDC, every dollar spent on preventive care yields an estimated $2 to $3 in savings on future health costs. For employers managing rising premiums and self-funded plans absorbing high-cost claims, that’s a significant return.
Even identifying and managing hypertension early can save more than $2,000 per person annually. Multiply that by even a small percentage of your workforce or member base, and the savings add up fast.
The takeaway for employers and health plans? At-home preventive care doesn’t just work for a few—it works for many. It reaches people who otherwise wouldn’t engage. It builds equity by removing geography and scheduling as barriers. And it turns a frustrating healthcare task into a proactive, empowering experience.
In a world where downstream costs continue to rise, this kind of early, inclusive engagement is the ultimate health and wellness strategy.
Preventive care doesn’t need to look the way it always has. When we bring it home, people show up. And when they show up, everyone wins.
