PreparedHealth, a healthcare engagement startup just coming out of stealth mode, and BAYADA Home Health Care, the nation’s largest private provider of home-based services have announced a multi-year strategic partnership. This builds on several successful projects in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Florida that proved to proactively keep patients out of the hospital and lowered overall readmissions for health system partners and health insurance companies. Health systems have been testing out mobile health communications platforms for quite some time to improve care team coordination, but very few have developed such a robust social media platform and this is the first I’ve seen a machine learning enabled digital assistant incorporated into the mix.
