Telehealth Vendors Expand Their Solutions

Last week it was announced that US patient engagement platform supplier, Emmi Solutions, had entered into an agreement to become part of the Dutch information and services business, Wolters Kluwer.

InTouch Health has historically supplied telehealth hardware and platforms primarily aimed at US enterprise settings and over recent years it has established itself as a leading vendor in this sector. It has done this by expanding its business both by investing heavily in its platform offering, as it attempts to scale its software business over hardware, and broadening the range of care settings it serves (e.g. community settings, acute settings and post-acute settings).

North America, in particular the US, is advanced in terms of telehealth implementation compared to other major international markets. It is also littered with vendors that have seen revenues ramp up rapidly over the last five years.
