Solutions > Kenektic for Health Plans
Loneliness Is a Health Crisis. Friendship Is the Cure.
A preventive social connection benefit that improves member health outcomes and reduces costs
The Loneliness Epidemic Is a Healthcare Crisis
And it's costing the healthcare system billions
Equivalent mortality risk of chronic loneliness
Increased risk of heart disease from social isolation
Increased risk of stroke among lonely individuals
Annual cost to Medicare from loneliness-related conditions
Why Current Solutions Aren't Enough
Therapy
Addresses symptoms, not the root cause — lack of friendship
Wellness Apps
5–15% engagement rates; individual-focused, not social
Paid Companion Services
Not scalable, not peer-to-peer, not authentic friendship
No Intervention
No one is addressing the upstream cause — lack of genuine connection
Preventive Intervention, Not Reactive Treatment
Real peer-to-peer friendships, not paid companions or professionals
Free Access Through Health Plan
Members receive Kenektic as a covered benefit at no additional cost. Enrollment is simple, private, and available through their existing health plan portal.

Guided Connection
