This partnership with Glooko will give patients the flexibility of using their existing glucometers and support stronger connections with their clinical teams on a real-time basis, while also expanding care beyond the walls of hospitals, doctors’ offices and outpatient settings,” said Nesim Bildirici, founder and CEO of AMC Health. “Our clinically proven solutions, and clinical, technology and analytics expertise, gained over millions of patient days, ensure that our solutions promote patient engagement, improve patient outcomes, and prevent costly acute episodes.”
AMC Health has been performing groundbreaking work in remote patient monitoring and engagement since its founding in 2002, and has consistently partnered with organizations to assist with the identification of patients with the highest risks, likelihood of hospitalizations, and utilization of services. AMC Health has demonstrated, in peer-reviewed clinical studies , that its remote patient monitoring and engagement solutions have reduced hospital readmissions for patients with heart failure and reduced their cost of care.
