Oshi Health's Groundbreaking Research at ACG 2025

Oshi Health has made significant strides in the field of gastrointestinal care by presenting a series of compelling research studies at the American College of Gastroenterology (ACG) 2025 Annual Scientific Meeting. Across five comprehensive studies and two patient case analyses, the findings underscored the power of virtual, multidisciplinary approaches in enhancing patient outcomes and achieving cost-efficiency in diverse healthcare settings.

Key Findings from Research

The studies showcased at ACG 2025 revealed tangible benefits from Oshi’s innovative virtual clinic model. For example, one of the notable presentations focused on patients suffering from inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) which received prestigious recognition as a Presidential Poster. This honor symbolizes the highest standards of research excellence, as only 5% of submitted abstracts receive such acknowledgment.

The research specifically documented improved patient engagement and satisfaction levels while simultaneously reducing unnecessary healthcare utilization and costs. Oshi Health's model merges the expertise of gastroenterologists, dietitians, behavioral health specialists, and care coordinators to create a comprehensive support system for patients dealing with GI issues.

Methodology and Diverse Populations

The studies collectively evaluated outcomes among various commercially insured adult populations. These included individuals affected by IBD, Medicare-aged patients, and those diagnosed with chronic liver disease. Oshi's model not only capitalized on previous findings—where patient outcomes improved and costs decreased by over $10,000 in just six months—but the new results corroborated the efficacy of this integrated care strategy across the board.

The data revealed astonishing results across different patient populations:

• - Commercial Population Study: Out of nearly 2,800 patients, those experiencing moderate-to-severe symptoms dropped from 78% to 28%. Global symptom control rose dramatically from 14% to 90%, while patient satisfaction soared to an impressive 97%. Moreover, avoidable healthcare visits fell by 68%, surgeries by 56%, and hospital admissions by 52%, resulting in annual savings of over $6,000 per patient.
• - IBD Patients: Among individuals with IBD, those reporting moderate-to-severe symptoms decreased from 59% to 20%, and satisfaction rates escalated from 36% to 98%. The research trends indicated not only symptom relief but also reduced healthcare costs and hospital-based interventions.
• - Medicare-Aged Group: Patients aged 65 and older showed similar success, with moderate-to-severe symptoms decreasing from 72% to 23%, leading to a satisfaction rate of 100%.
• - Chronic Liver Disease Patients: Those with liver disorders experienced a reduction in the wait time for specialist consultations, dropping to just six days compared to a national average of 71 days. This not only improved symptom severity but also overall patient satisfaction.

Clinical Application and Future Implications

Alongside the core studies, Oshi presented two additional clinical posters that illustrated real-world applications of their hybrid care model, which examined predictors of improvement in gut-brain interaction disorders. These case studies demonstrated the efficacy of Oshi's virtual-to-procedural care model in managing complex diagnoses, such as Candy Cane Syndrome and severe cryptosporidiosis.

The research findings from ACG 2025 validate the success of Oshi Health’s outcomes-driven approach to gastrointestinal care. Employers benefit from this model through a distinctive guarantee that holds the clinic's fees at risk based on performance, while payers and healthcare systems are given a clinically substantiated avenue for enhancing patient experiences and reducing avoidable costs.

Through its initiative, Access+, Oshi Health is committed to collaborating with local GI practices. This outreach not only aims to bolster the continuity of care but also expands local capacity while ensuring a streamlined patient experience.
