Pager Health (SM) Launches Industry's First End-to-End Member Navigation Platform
Pager Health Navigator redefines the member experience by connecting provider, clinical, benefits, and program navigation in one seamless, AI-powered solution
NEW YORK, June 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Pager Health, a connected health platform company serving more than 26 million members in the United States and Latin America, today announced the launch of Pager Health Navigator, a seamless, scalable, AI-powered care navigation system that radically transforms the health plan member experience.
Pager Health Navigator is the first navigation solution to integrate four previously disconnected member services—provider, clinical, benefits, and program navigation—into one connected platform available through a single interface. By empowering members to steer their care with confidence, unmatched speed and convenience, Navigator seeks to elevate consumers' perception of health plans, establishing them as a trusted partner and central access point for their health journey.
"With the launch of Pager Health Navigator, the days of siloed and fragmented healthcare experiences that confuse members, delay care, and drive up costs are over," said Walter Jin, Chairman and CEO of Pager Health. "Navigator is more than an innovation; it's the arrival of a new standard in connected care. It unifies clinical, provider, solution, and benefits navigation to empower member engagement, replacing confusion with clarity and transforming a maze of disconnected touchpoints into a connected healthcare experience. Health plans can now finally deliver the seamless, personalized experience their members expect when using any other digital connection, while improving engagement, streamlining support, redirecting care to appropriate settings, and ultimately achieving meaningful ROI."
Four Powerful Navigation Tools, One Seamless ExperiencePager Health Navigator's four core services use AI-powered features and other advanced capabilities to streamline care access, personalize member experiences, and reduce friction across the healthcare journey.
Clinical Navigation – Pager Health Navigator's on-demand clinical navigation combines AI-powered symptom checking, virtual care, and e-triage to guide members to the appropriate level of care, whenever they need it. Backed by URAC-accredited teams and Schmitt-Thompson clinical protocols, its nurse triage service provides 24/7/365 escalation support when necessary.
Provider Navigation - Existing provider search tools often lack usability and offer limited personalization. By integrating accurate data, smart filtering, and seamless scheduling, Navigator's Augmented Provider Finder helps members quickly and confidently find the right in-network providers through a dialogue-based AI agent. This reduces the burden on support teams and enhances the member experience.
Solutions Navigation - Members are often unaware of the high-value, virtual care solutions their health plans offer. Navigator generates AI-powered personalized recommendations, based on member profiles and eligibility data. It then uses a conversational interface to connect members to their best-fit virtual-care solutions and wellness programs. This approach improves utilization of existing resources, helping members get timely support while avoiding unnecessary escalations.
Benefits Navigation - Health benefits are often buried in static PDFs and complex portals, leaving members confused, disengaged, and frustrated—often delaying access to needed care. Navigator leverages conversational AI and automated data retrieval to deliver intelligent assistance and personalized answers to FAQs and benefit inquiries, increasing engagement and enabling faster access to care.
In addition to unifying member navigation, Navigator leverages AI-powered personalized guidance throughout the entire member experience, from triage and benefits clarification to FAQs and next-best actions, with nurse-led support always available. Proactive outreach includes automated campaigns, targeted messages, and timely reminders for wellness visits and health assessments. Omnichannel member engagement across all major touchpoints, including SMS, app, portal, phone, secure chat, WhatsApp, and email, maximizes reach and responsiveness.
Purpose-Built to Work Within Health PlansSpecifically engineered to integrate with a health plan's existing technology stack and service operations, Navigator delivers a white-labeled experience that gives full credit to the health plan for facilitating the member experience.
"AI is rewriting the rules on how people connect with products and services, and healthcare is not immune to this revolution," Jin said. "It is now a market imperative for health plans to embrace AI innovation in member engagement and care coordination or risk irrelevance. Pager Health Navigator presents a pivotal opportunity for health plans to lead this transformation toward truly member-centered care."
With Navigator, Pager Health is advancing its mission to transform healthcare through smarter, more connected member experiences. This launch reinforces Pager's commitment to helping health plans generate seamless navigation, reduce costs, improve satisfaction, and deliver measurable value.

These eight foods get more healthy after you let them cool
If you are looking to get more nutritional benefits from your food, there are eight pantry staples which become more healthy when cooled, according to nutritionists. The foods can help regulate your blood sugar, improve your gut health and even prevent chronic diseases, according to which compiled the list based on nutritionists' opinions. When cooled, white rice forms resistant starch, which can help regulate your blood sugar, reducing the risk of type 2 diabetes. Resistant starch is 'a carbohydrate that resists digestion in the small intestine and ferments in the large intestine,' according to Johns Hopkins. Resistant starch acts as a prebiotic and feeds the good bacteria in your gut. You can enjoy cooled white rice in a salmon bowl. Add cooked or canned salmon to the cooled white rice with sriracha and kewpie mayo. You can also add dried seaweed and cucumbers, plus black sesame seeds for garnish. Cooled oats also form resistant starch that helps regulate your blood sugar and supports gut health. Overnight oats have become increasingly popular because they're a convenient way to get a balanced breakfast. Just simply mix oats and milk in a container with a lid, add whatever toppings you prefer to it and let it refrigerate for at least two hours. Cooled potatoes are another good choice for upping your resistant starch intake. Try making a refreshing Greek yogurt and dill potato salad, perfect for the summer. Dill is another food that is healthier when stored in the fridge. cited a 2017 study published by Antioxidants that found dill has more phenolic acids when cooled for 15 days. Phenolic acids are natural antioxidants that can help prevent chronic diseases. In the same vein, you could also make a pasta salad filled with vegetables and a light vinaigrette for a healthy meal. Pasta also forms resistant starch when cooled, as does Barley. So, feel free to experiment in the kitchen using different combinations of these carbs, fresh vegetables and dressings for a healthy and delicious summer salad. You can even add some beans to your salad for not only added fiber and protein but also resistant starch. Cooled pinto beans were found to have the highest levels of resistant starch in a 2016 study published by NFS Journal, reported. Lastly, an easy way to get resistant starch is to put your freshly baked bread in the fridge for seven days and then enjoy any sandwich of your liking.

10 ways to reduce your blood pressure
It's the thing we dread hearing at our midlife health check, but in fact an early diagnosis could prove a blessing. High blood pressure is often called 'the silent killer' because it may show no symptoms, making it all the more important to know your blood pressure numbers – and to check them regularly. Blood pressure is measured in millimetres of mercury (mmHg). The top number is 'systolic' – the pressure in your arteries when your heart beats. The bottom number is 'diastolic' – the pressure in your arteries when your heart rests between beats. 'Both are important, but for the over-50s, the top number is more important,' says Graham MacGregor, a professor of cardiovascular medicine and the chairman of Blood Pressure UK. 'An elevated systolic pressure in the over-50s shows a greater risk of stroke and heart disease than an elevated diastolic pressure.' 'Most people in the UK have blood pressure that's higher than the ideal, but as a general guide, normal blood pressure is considered to be between 90/60mmHg and 120/80mmHg,' says Prof MacGregor. So what are the proven ways of reducing blood pressure? The best methods to reduce blood pressure, according to the experts, are: Medication Cut back on salt Eat potassium Exercise more Lose weight Cut back on alcohol Quit smoking – and vaping Prioritise sleep Supplements Monitor your blood pressure at home Fortunately, we have very effective ways of reducing blood pressure with four main types of medicine. 'They reduce blood pressure through different mechanisms and that's important because your body will try to stop it working,' says MacGregor. 'One tablet might reduce the pressure through one mechanism, and then if your body manages to block it, you might be prescribed another pill that works through a different mechanism. If you're given two tablets that work in different ways, that's more effective than one, and if you're on three, that can be more effective than two.' The four main types are: Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) – both work by controlling the hormones that help relax and widen the blood vessels, which in turn lowers the pressure Thiazide diuretics – which removes excess fluid from the body Calcium-channel blockers (CCBs) – prevent calcium from entering the cells of the heart and arteries (since calcium causes them to contract more strongly), allowing blood vessels to relax and open. Side effects for some include dizziness and headaches. 'Some people won't have any side effects. It depends on the drug and the person, and also whether they are on any other medicines,' says Ruth Goss, a senior cardiac nurse with the British Heart Foundation. 'The long-term health consequences of uncontrolled high blood pressure are much worse. If you have any concerns about your medication, don't alter the dose or stop taking it. Talk to your GP,' she adds. This is absolutely key – the more salt you eat, the higher your blood pressure will be. Even if you are on blood pressure medication, a salty diet can make it work less effectively. Reducing your salt intake will have an impact quickly too – often within weeks. Though we need a small amount of salt to stay healthy – about 4 grams each day – we should eat no more than 6g, or one level teaspoon. Most of us eat too much. Roughly 75 per cent is from processed foods, 15 per cent is added during cooking or before eating (so remove the salt cellar from the table), and 10 per cent is found naturally in food. When it comes to processed foods, check labels carefully for salt or sodium – two loaves of bread or boxes of cereal made by the same company can contain wildly different quantities. 'When buying tinned fish, pulses or vegetables, opt for the ones in water over brine,' says Kate Llewellyn-Waters, author, nutritionist and resident expert on TV programme You Are What You Eat. Know your high-salt items, these are: Ketchup Soy sauce Gravy granules Pocessed meats Pickles Ready meals Takeaways Opting for unsalted butter is one example of a simple swap you can make. The FoodSwitch app allows you to scan the barcodes of food and drink and instantly see whether they are high, medium or low in salt. It also suggests healthier alternative products. 'When cooking, one of the most effective tips to retrain your taste buds is to add herbs or spices in place of salt,' says Llewellyn-Waters. Lemon juice, cumin, shallots and fresh or dried herbs will all add flavour.' The good news is that salt preference is an acquired taste that can be unlearned. It takes six to eight weeks to adjust to much lower quantities – after that, you'll never enjoy a pretzel again. 'Potassium is an important mineral that helps your body get rid of sodium and reduces pressure on your blood vessels,' says Llewellyn-Waters. 'Western diets tend to be high in sodium and low in potassium.' Foods that are rich in potassium include: Bananas Leafy greens Sweet potatoes Nuts (unsalted) Seeds Tomatoes Avocados Apricots Mushrooms Opt to get your potassium from these rather than potassium supplements. For those with kidney disease or taking certain blood pressure medication, a large increase in potassium could be harmful, so check with your doctor before making big changes. New research has found that eating bananas is more effective at lowering blood pressure than reducing salt intake. Another study tracked the fibre consumption of 200 people with hypertension and Type 2 diabetes. Their fibre intake was increased by about 20 to 25 per cent to 24 to 30g a day and they consumed 1,200-1,500 calories. After six months, researchers observed a 15 per cent reduction of systolic blood pressure. Another study tracked the fibre intake of more than 2,500 midlife women and found that fibre – especially from grains – contributed to a lower risk of hypertension. 'Your heart is a muscle. Regular exercise makes it stronger and able to pump blood with less effort, which brings down blood pressure,' says Ruth. 'Aim for 150 minutes of moderate exercise a week.' One meta-analysis of 270 randomised controlled trials compared five different forms of exercise – aerobic, weight training, a combination of both, high-intensity interval training and isometric exercise. All improved blood pressure but isometric exercise – such as planks, squats and wall sits – had the most pronounced effect. 'It's normal for blood pressure to rise after exercise and it should come back down when you stop,' says Goss. 'If your blood pressure is very high, speak to your GP or nurse before starting anything new.' 'If you're overweight, losing some pounds will lower your blood pressure as your heart won't need to work so hard to pump the blood around your body,' says Prof MacGregor. If you're overweight, even losing a moderate amount – 5 or 10 per cent of your body weight – can make a difference. As a general guide, blood pressure can go down by about 1mmHg with each kilogram (about 2.2lb) of weight lost. Your waistline is important too – research shows that carrying excess weight around your stomach may increase your risk of high blood pressure more than anywhere else on your body. 'We know that drinking alcohol in excessive amounts raises blood pressure,' says Prof MacGregor. 'Your blood pressure is pulled up when you experience a hangover.' Until recently, moderate drinking wasn't thought to be a risk factor, but newer data that spanned several decades and included 20,000 people has suggested that blood pressure increases in line with alcohol consumption, starting from as little as one glass of wine per day. Alcohol can also lead to weight gain – which raises blood pressure – and interfere with certain blood pressure medications. Still, it's too early for a change in guidelines, though Prof MacGregor advises those drinking above recommended levels to cut back. Smoking certainly causes a temporary rise in blood pressure by activating the sympathetic nervous system (SNS), which controls the body's response to danger and raises the heart rate and blood pressure. Researchers have also reported 'worrisome changes' in blood pressure and heart rates after vaping. Although experts disagree over the long-term effects of these temporary spikes, there's no doubt that smoking increases the build-up of fatty material in the arteries, reducing the space for blood flow. Quitting will significantly reduce your risk of stroke or heart disease. Blood pressure tends to lower by as much as 20 per cent when we sleep – known as 'nocturnal dipping'. There's a whole body of literature which suggests that regular sleep deprivation – less than five hours a night – as well as interrupted sleep is associated with higher blood pressure, particularly in women during middle age. Worrying about this certainly won't help you sleep better, but small steps to improve sleep hygiene are worth taking. This can include: Sleeping at a regular bedtime Daily exercise No devices in bedrooms Trying blackout blinds 'There are several supplements that may lower blood pressure, but it is vital to know that many supplements interact with medications, including blood pressure medication, so always check with your medical practitioner before taking any,' warns nutritionist Llewellyn-Waters. Supplements that may help lower blood pressure include: Potassium Magnesium Vitamin D Fish oil One 2022 study found that a daily dose of around 2-3g of omega-3 fatty acids (found in salmon, tuna and other oily fish) may be the optimal amount needed to help lower blood pressure. Garlic capsules have also shown effectiveness in reducing blood pressure, as well as improving cardiovascular health overall by reducing arterial stiffness, inflammation and elevated cholesterol levels. 'Everyone should have a blood pressure monitor,' says Prof MacGregor. 'Many people have scales to help them control their weight – even though we can tell by sight or how our clothes fit if we're overweight. We can't tell when our blood pressure is raised – the first sign might be a heart attack. Getting a blood pressure monitor could be the best thing you've ever done.' Monitoring at home will give you a more complete picture of day-to-day highs and lows, can motivate you to make changes and show you if those changes are working. Buy a monitor approved by the British and Irish Hypertension Society for home use and follow the instructions carefully, keeping still and quiet while you take your reading, taking two or three, one or two minutes apart (see a full how to below). Take the readings at the same time each day and always use the same arm, so you're comparing like with like. Keep a record of your readings. Hypertension is another term for high blood pressure and the point where it could be treated with medication. That's set at 140/90, although, says MacGregor, to some extent that's an arbitrary cut-off point. 'The risks from high blood pressure don't stop at a particular number. If you're below that threshold but it's still raised, you need to do something about it.' Hypertension carries no symptoms but it's a huge risk factor for the following: Stroke Cardiovascular disease Kidney disease Vision loss Vascular dementia It's not uncommon to hear someone attributing high blood pressure to stress. In truth, stress itself is unlikely to be the cause or the answer. 'If I pointed a machine gun at you, your blood pressure would go up, but the question is does stress cause a long-term rise in blood pressure? The evidence just isn't there,' says MacGregor. Stress only becomes a factor if it leads to an unhealthy lifestyle – like eating badly, smoking, drinking and losing sleep. 'It goes up as we get older, so if you haven't got high blood pressure now, you're probably going to get it,' warns MacGregor. 'In the UK, when you're 20, your risk is roughly 20 per cent, at 50, it's 50 per cent, at 80 years old, it's 80 per cent.' Diet is thought to be the critical cause here – age-related increases in blood pressure have been observed in almost every population except hunter gatherers and forage farmers. In fact, salt is believed to be the culprit. 'When you eat salt, you retain some in your body, which controls the amount of fluid in your blood,' MacGregor explains. 'Put simply, it's like adding fluid to a central heating system – it raises the pressure. There have been studies on communities who have no access to salt at all. Their blood pressure doesn't rise with age – their average blood pressure is 92/60 – the same as a gorilla or baboon.'
