Prospective Clinical Review:
ONEai Health’s Impact on Reducing Readmissions in Post-Stroke Patients*
Study Overview
A three-month prospective study conducted by Michigan Head and Spine Associates in Southfield, Michigan, evaluated the effectiveness of the ONEai Health solution in managing post-stroke patients with chronic conditions. The study cohort consisted of 100 patients, all under the care of the same interventional neurosurgeon, ensuring consistency in clinical management. Patients (mean age: 73) were divided into two groups: those receiving standard care and those utilizing the ONEai Health solution.
Study Context
Nationally, hospital readmission rates for patients with chronic conditions, such as stroke, hypertension, and diabetes, remain as high as 20–25% within 30 days of discharge (source: CMS and AHRQ data). These high readmission rates are driven by poorly managed chronic conditions, insufficient medication optimization, and a lack of proactive monitoring.
Key Findings
1. Significant Reduction in Readmission Rates:
•Patients without the ONEai Health solution had a readmission rate of 23%, consistent with national averages for similar populations.
•Patients utilizing the ONEai Health solution experienced a dramatically lower readmission rate of 6.7%, reflecting a 71% relative reduction compared to the control group and outperforming many existing national interventions.
2. Enhanced Chronic Condition Management:
•25% of patients in the ONEai Health group were newly diagnosed with hypertension through continuous monitoring, enabling earlier interventions to prevent adverse outcomes.
•These rates align with evidence indicating that early detection and management of hypertension reduce stroke recurrence and complications (e.g., ACC/AHA Hypertension Guidelines).
3. Optimized Medication Regimens:
•40% of patients in the ONEai Health group required significant medication adjustments during the study period.
•Proactive monitoring through ONEai Health facilitated timely medication titration and adherence improvements, aligning with studies demonstrating a direct correlation between medication management and reduced readmission risks (e.g., JAMA Internal Medicine, 2021).
Clinical Implications
The results of this study highlight the ONEai Health solution’s ability to outperform national averages in reducing hospital readmissions, particularly among patients with complex chronic conditions. By addressing gaps in care, such as unrecognized comorbidities and suboptimal medication management, the ONEai Health platform demonstrates its potential to significantly reduce healthcare utilization and improve patient outcomes.
Comparison to Other Studies:
ONEai Health Solution consistently demonstrated 71% reduction in hospital readmissions, as compared to only 20-30% reduction* had previously shown by other interventions such as transitional care management programs. This finding significantly underscores ONEai Health’s effectiveness as a scalable and simple to implement solution for Chronic Condition Management.

Conclusion
The ONEai Health solution represents a transformative approach to post-stroke care, offering superior results in readmission reduction and chronic condition management. This study demonstrates that ONEai Health’s proactive monitoring and AI-driven insights can significantly improve outcomes in high-risk populations, setting a new benchmark for readmission prevention.
