# How Health Dashboard Brings Preventive Care, Data, and Reminders Together

 By  [Navigate team](https://community.navigatewell.com/blog/author/navigate-team)  ·   5 minute read

You’re already paying for the mammogram. The colonoscopy. The annual physical. The blood pressure screening.

But too often, they never make it onto the calendar.

- Nine in 10 Americans have put off a checkup or recommended screening that could help identify and treat a serious illness earlier. ([Aflac](https://investors.aflac.com/press-releases/press-release-details/2025/9-in-10-Americans-have-put-off-health-checkups-and-screenings-that-could-help-save-their-lives/default.aspx))
- Men are 32% less likely than women to visit a primary care physician, even though more than half of men in the United States have high blood pressure and 18% have diabetes. ([Marathon Health](https://marathon.health/resources/blog/mens-annual-health-checkup-benefits))
- Only **50.3% of U.S. women ages 45 to 64** were up to date on all three recommended cancer screenings: breast, cervical, and colorectal. (Spencer JC, Montealegre JR, Calderón-Mora J, Pignone MP. [Breast, Cervical, and Colorectal Cancer Screening Rates in Women Aged 45 to 64 Years](https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamanetworkopen/fullarticle/2849096). JAMA Netw Open. 2026;9(5):e2612976. doi:10.1001/jamanetworkopen.2026.12976)

Across your population, those missed moments add up. Screenings are delayed. Health risks go unaddressed. Benefits you have already invested in go unused. And opportunities to act before a condition becomes more complex and costly are lost.

**The gap is not coverage. It is what happens next.**

That is why we built the Health Dashboard, launching January 2027 for Total Health (included) and Optimized (at additional cost) clients.

The Health Dashboard helps participants understand what preventive care they may need, why it matters, and what to do next. It brings personalized recommendations, reminders, and progress tracking into one connected experience, helping your investment in preventive care reach the people it was designed to support.

### What participants can do

- **See recommended preventive care in one place:** Participants can view recommended exams and screenings, understand why they matter, and see what is upcoming or overdue.
- **Personalize the timing with their provider:** Participants can adjust the timing when their provider recommends a schedule that differs from standard guidelines.
- **Mark appointments as scheduled:** Once an exam or screening is scheduled, participants can record it in the dashboard and stop receiving Navigate reminders for that item.
- **Track care as it is completed:** Eligible wellbeing program activities and available claims data can update completed items in the Health Dashboard.
- **Receive reminders before care is overdue:** Automated communications help keep recommended care visible and encourage participants to schedule it.

In January, The Health Dashboard will be available directly from the Navigate platform’s main navigation, so participants can easily return to their recommendations and check their progress.

## Your Health Dashboard questions, answered

In July, Navigate CTO Jeremy Knipper joined several discussions with clients to provide a closer look at the Health Dashboard and answer questions about the participant experience.

Clients raised thoughtful, practical questions about how reminders work, whether recommendations can be personalized, what information informs the experience, and how the Health Dashboard connects with their wellbeing program. We have brought those questions and answers together below to help you understand what the Health Dashboard could look like for your population.

 

### Why are reminders part of the Health Dashboard experience?

Even when people intend to complete preventive care, an appointment can easily fall to the bottom of the list. Research suggests that keeping recommended care visible can help turn intention into action.

In one randomized study, 46.6% of women who received a mailed reminder returned for a mammogram, compared with 28.3% of those who did not receive a letter. The study evaluated mailed letters rather than digital messages, but its findings illustrate the value of timely, direct reminders. [PubMed](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/9476837/)

A broader review of 61 randomized studies involving 144,605 people found that reminders delivered to clinicians increased the completion of preventive care measures. Depending on the reminder system, the average increase ranged from 12 to 14 percentage points. The reviewers noted limitations in the evidence but concluded that clinician reminders were a successful, although modest, way to improve preventive care delivery. [NCBI Bookshelf](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK76431/)

The Health Dashboard brings this principle into the participant experience by making upcoming care visible and providing timely prompts to schedule it.

### How do Health Dashboard reminders work?

Participants generally receive automated reminders approximately:

- Nine months before the recommended date
- Six months before
- Three months before
- One month before
- Two weeks before

If the recommended date passes, the participant receives another reminder approximately one month later and every 90 days after that.Once the participant marks an appointment as scheduled, Navigate stops sending reminders for that item. The participant and their provider can then manage the appointment and any necessary follow-up.

### Can participants personalize a recommendation?

Yes. Preventive care is not one-size-fits-all.Imagine a participant sees that a colorectal cancer screening is recommended every 10 years. Because colon cancer runs in their family, their physician recommends a screening every five years instead. The participant can update the timing in the Health Dashboard to reflect the schedule established with their provider. They can then mark the screening as scheduled, which stops automated reminders while they work directly with their provider to complete the care.

The Health Dashboard supports informed action but does not replace medical guidance. Participants should continue working with their providers to determine which screenings and schedules are right for them.

### How are recommendations determined?

The recommendations a participant sees may be informed by:

- Standard preventive care guidelines
- Claims data
- Information provided by the participant
- Health survey responses
- Identified health conditions

Claims data can also confirm that certain care has been completed, reducing the need for participants to update every item manually.

Participants remain in control of their experience. They can adjust the timing of recommendations based on provider guidance and opt out of condition-related recommendations they do not want to see.

### How does the Health Dashboard connect with the wellbeing program?

When a participant completes an eligible activity through the wellbeing program, such as an annual physical or eye exam, that completion can also be reflected in the Health Dashboard.

This connection currently works in one direction:

- Completing an eligible activity through the wellbeing program updates the Health Dashboard
- Recording an item directly in the Health Dashboard does not complete the corresponding wellbeing program activity or apply associated program credit

Participants should continue following the instructions within their wellbeing program when completing activities for program or incentive purposes.

### Can organizations customize which screenings appear?

At this time, organizations cannot add, remove, or customize the preventive exams and screenings available within the Health Dashboard.

The experience is built around established preventive care recommendations while giving individual participants the flexibility to adjust timing based on personal health needs and provider guidance.

### Availability for your organization

The Health Dashboard is included as part of the Total Health experience. Optimized clients can add the Health Dashboard to their program for an additional cost. 

Once available to your population, participants will find the Health Dashboard directly within the Navigate platform’s main navigation. They will not need to visit a separate site to see their recommendations, scheduled care, and progress.

Interested in bringing the Health Dashboard to your population? Contact your Client Success Manager to discuss availability, timing, and next steps.

 

### Good to know

Marking an appointment as scheduled is different from completing the care. Scheduling the appointment stops Navigate’s reminders for that item. Completion is reflected when it is received through an available source, such as an eligible wellbeing program activity or claims data.

The Health Dashboard does not replace guidance from a healthcare provider. It gives participants a clearer way to understand their preventive care and act on the plan they establish with their provider.
