Athena 1
In four years, [they] bootstrapped Athena to about 2,000 employees and $50 million ARR.
Athena 2
It's the fastest growing company I've ever seen—and I'm including Uber in that. It has been growing at a rate that I'll just say is faster than Uber and Robin Hood.
Breakthrough 1
8 out of 10 patients reported improved mental health symptoms after treatment, and 84% reported they’d recommend the service to others.
CancerIQ 6
Genetic testing rates for sites deploying a (CancerIQ) POC-T workflow were more than double that of the other 3 workflows, averaging 35% across all the 9 POC-T sites (range 14-53%).
Careforth 2
The results of the six-month pilot showed a 20 percent decline in caregiver burden, such as a reduction in their physical and emotional stress; a 13 percent increase in caregiver confidence; a 17 percent increase in caregiver knowledge; an 18 percent decrease in hospitalizations; and a 51 percent drop in emergency department visits.
Chime 1
We also worked with Chime to launch their 10% auto-savings tool. Through this tool, users can opt-in to automatically saving 10% of any direct deposits into their checking accounts. This tool led to more than $8 million in savings in the first few months.
Chime 2
When partnering with Chime to have clients automatically save 10% of their direct deposits, those that used the feature saved an average of $200 per month.
City of San Francisco K2C 4
[…] when focusing only on students with at least one contribution, the average contribution value and the average total value increased as the CSA ages (from $247 in the first year to $709 in the fourth year and from $420 in the first year to $907 in the fourth year, respectively; Figure 4).
City of San Francisco K2C 5
San Francisco’s Kindergarten to College has achieved close to 100% enrollment using its automatic enrollment approach.
City of San Francisco K2C 6
Findings from K2C indicate that 15% of students in high-poverty schools made at least one contribution, compared to 20% of students in low-poverty schools.
City of San Francisco K2C 7
In the K2C analysis, after controlling for school- and community-level factors, there is no statistical difference in total contributions in years one through three between high-poverty and low-poverty schools. […] It appears that giving families equitable access to savings vehicles can narrow the college savings contributions gap between low-income and high-income families, at least over several years.
Clarity Money 1
In terms of engagement with the budget, about 10% of the users in the experimental condition saw the budget 8 times or more, while a majority of the users (84%) saw the budget 5 or fewer times over the experimental period. Both budgeting variants statistically significantly increased engagement over the control from once every 4 weeks to once every 3 weeks (p < 0.001).
Cognoa 7
Comparison of device results to specialist diagnosis found the PPV: 80.8% [95%CI, 70.3%–88.8%], NPV: 98.3 [90.6%–100%], sensitivity: 98.4% [91.6%–100%], specificity: 78.9% [67.6%–87.7%] for subjects with determinate device results. There was no evidence that device performance significantly varied when PCP used the device remotely compared to in-person.
Cognoa 8
[…] clinicians reported the video component to be the most helpful part of the Cognoa evaluation. Overall, 88% found the summary report helpful, and 76% found that the report and videos alerted them to look for particular behaviors.
Credit Karma 1
The interventions led to an 18% increase in recurring transfer setups and a significant increase in direct deposit interest.
Digit 5
Of everyone who responded to the text, on average people wanted to save 10% of their tax-refund in the control condition, and 15% in the experiment condition. When we looked at those that responded positively to the text and wanted to save, our experiment doubled savings rate to 22% from 12% in the control condition.
Digit 6
Our experiment led to $1,000,000 in savings. Nearly 85% of the savings were still in the savings account 3 months later.
Digit 7
Pre-commitment increased tax time savings from 17% to 27%, a 58% increase.
DoubleNet Pay 1
Approximately 37% of web sessions during which individuals used the sliders resulted in savings rate changes. Notably, 75% of the changes were increases in savings rates, with an average increase percentage of 18.8%.
DoubleNet Pay 2
This results-driven philosophy begins with a personalized view that translates savings into estimated monthly income in retirement and offers next steps to help boost income in retirement. Of the participants who have used our experience, 39% changed their deferral rate and the average deferral rate increase was 25%.
DoubleNet Pay 4
DoubleNet Pay enables workers to contribute directly to a goal-based savings account and pay bills automatically via payroll deduction. This addresses two challenges that arise from volatile incomes: automatically depositing part of a paycheck into savings increases workers’ ability to save successfully, and paying bills through payroll also leaves the worker with more certainty about how much money they have and how much is safe to spend.
EarnUp 2
This “round up” framing led to a jump from 11% to 15% of users increasing their payments; that is a 35% increase in people paying off their mortgage faster.
Eureka 1
We consistently observe that 0.5%–5% of invitations lead to study enrollment.
Eureka 2
In the COVID-19 Citizen Science study, we requested intensive participant engagement with survey responses on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis and observed that 59% of participants completed at least one survey over a 4-week period in February 2021, nearly a year after launch of the study at the beginning of the pandemic.
Eureka 7
Eureka has now enrolled more than 500,000 participants across nearly 70 studies focusing on health conditions ranging from diabetes to inflammatory bowel disease, cancer and Parkinson’s disease. Most studies are funded by the NIH or the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI).
Eureka 8
“We can leverage this group to conduct very rapid studies,” Olgin said. “As an example, we are doing a trial of a smoking cessation tool. We needed 300 participants. We contacted our then 100,000 participants and had our 300 slots filled in 20 minutes.”
Hustle 12
The SMS program increased voter registration by a statistically significant 0.3 pp (p < 0.001), generating 1,601 registrants at a cost of $82 per net registrant.
Hustle 13
The text program also boosted voter turnout by a statistically significant 0.3 pp (p <0.01), yielding votes at cost of $102 per net votes.
Hustle 25
The polling location messages increased turnout by 0.2 percentage points (p < 0.05) relative to the no contact control group, yielding 1,473 net votes at a cost per net vote of $128 (or about 8 votes per $1,000 spent).
Hustle 28
Not only were we able to register 26,000 hard-to-reach-voters, but we were able to do so at a cost of $10 per registration form, which is cheaper than site-based registration. What’s more, our newly registered voters actually turned out to vote. The cost per net-new-vote was $77, which means for every $1,000 we spent, 13 people voted who would have otherwise stayed home.
Keas 1
Ongoing engagement increased roughly 30-fold and sustained engagement increased roughly by two orders of magnitude.
Keas 10
After the pilots ended, more than 90% of employees said they'd recommend the game and play it again, and more than 70% of the people who started playing stayed engaged through the entire 12-week period.
Keas 3
Most companies saw one-third of employees lose an average of a half a pound per week, with one-sixth losing more than 1 pound per week.
Mass General Virtual Visits 5
Fewer Visits in Virtual Group: Patients in the virtual visit group had 0.8 fewer primary care visits than those in the usual care group (95% CI, −1.2 to −0.3).
Mass General Virtual Visits 6
Subgroup Analysis for Unsatisfactory SBP Control: For patients with unsatisfactory SBP control, there were 1.4 fewer primary care visits in the virtual visit group compared to the usual care group (95% CI, 0.3 to 2.5).
Mass General Virtual Visits 8
Physicians were on average extremely satisfied with the clinical decision-making capabilities of the virtual visit tool. Physician satisfaction with receiving sufficient data to make a diagnosis, order tests, change medications, and make referrals ranged from 4.32 to 4.53/5 (SE= 0.06–0.09). Satisfaction with the diagnostic capability was 4.60/5 (SE= 0.07). Overall satisfaction was 4.47/5 (SE= 0.08).
