Loneliness is not simply being alone.
As a species we need human-to-human connection to survive and thrive, and the research is proving it.
We know from the data that just over half of Pyx Health members are lonely. But there’s so much more.
Our data team is continually analyzing Pyx Health member data to uncover trends and deliver insights for our clients. Screening tools include UCLA-3, PHQ-4, SDoH screening based on PRAPARE, and proprietary sentiment scoring. Combined, these tools give us – and you – a clear picture of Pyx users’ emotional and physical states, and SDoH needs that impact both.
