Telehealth

With the higi platform, IMPOWER patients can routinely track key health measurements and share them with clinicians by visiting a local retail location.

The telehealth service is made possible through American Well's ongoing collaboration with CVS Health and its partnership with Cleveland Clinic.

The integration will enable physician practices to seamlessly integrate telemedicine appointments into existing practice workflows.

The company offers a telemedicine service to providers and payers that includes video visits that start with asynchronous text messaging.

There are two different options to choose from: virtual consultations with a local primary care physician, and MDLIVE's telehealth service.

The partnership makes it easier for people in Colorado and western Kansas to access health care services, either from their homes or while on the go.

The company has also unveiled an enhanced software development kit (SDK), as well as an updated mobile app for Android smartphones and tablets.

Called Sidekick, the Snapchat-like photo app is made for provider-to-provider consults that won't save any photos to the device.

The kit mitigates bandwidth consumption, enables HIPAA compliant video, while solving portability, security and interoperability issues.
