What is Pyx Health?
Pyx Health is leading the solution to loneliness and social isolation through technology and human connection. Research has found that loneliness increases mortality rates and annual patient treatment costs at similar rates to many chronic diseases. By combining compassionate technology with timely human interventions, Pyx Health offers patients and healthcare providers an innovative, scalable solution that effectively addresses this U.S. health epidemic. Pyx Health is helping people feel better while lowering costs for employers and healthcare providers.
Our Story
In 2016, Pyx Health CEO Cindy Jordan watched as a loved one’s physical and mental health declined rapidly from stable to high risk. While caring for them, Cindy learned about gaps in healthcare and the pervasive loneliness and social isolation epidemic affecting vulnerable populations. Frustrated by the lack of care, Cindy vowed to wage a war on loneliness and was determined to create an impactful solution marrying technology and compassionate human interventions; in 2017, the Pyx Health app was born. Today, while Cindy’s work is far from done, 93% of Pyx users report feeling healthier, and health plans have seen significant reductions in costs for Pyx patients.
