Through innovative digital health tools, the ACCESS Model will make it easier for patients to receive the care they need and clinicians to provide effective treatment. This type of connected care is key to improving cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic (CKM) health. By recognizing CKM as a syndrome of interconnected conditions, we can move toward earlier detection, more coordinated treatment and better outcomes for the 89M+ people at risk in the U.S. @american_heart
