Lumata Health

Lumata Health is a leader in personalized support for patients with vision-threatening chronic eye diseases. Founded in 2017 by Dr. Stephen Fransen, an ophthalmologist with over 30 years of experience, the company is dedicated to eliminating preventable vision loss. Lumata Health employs a human-led, technology-driven care management platform that partners with physicians, payers, and pharmaceutical manufacturers. This collaborative approach aims to provide tailored interventions that improve clinical outcomes and patient satisfaction while also generating additional revenue and reducing downstream healthcare costs. The company's platform combines predictive analytics with personalized interventions, which has demonstrated the ability to facilitate a significant number of additional vision-saving eye injections annually for participating patients.

Lumata Health's services focus on identifying and removing the complex barriers to treatment adherence that contribute to vision loss from chronic eye conditions such as glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, and age-related macular degeneration. By acting as a remote extension of in-clinic staff, certified ophthalmic care coaches, data scientists, and healthcare executives work to ensure patients adhere to their prescribed treatment regimens. The company assists patients with understanding their disease and care plan, managing injection or eye drop fatigue, appointment attendance, navigating financial assistance programs, pre-authorizations, prescriptions and refills, insurance issues, transportation to visits, access to social services, and coordinating care with other providers. This comprehensive support system is designed to improve adherence, contribute to better clinical outcomes, and enhance the patient's quality of life. Over the past few years, Lumata Health has expanded its reach by collaborating with leading eye care providers across the United States, including major national and regional eye care networks, demonstrating its effectiveness in improving treatment adherence and patient satisfaction.
