digital health deals

Also: Philips and Cognizant team up to develop digital health solutions and MindMed taps Datavant to improve access to real-world data.   

Hillrom says that lower-than-expected reimbursement rates proposed in late January void the deal. But the cardiac-monitoring device maker asserts they were accounted for during negotiations.

Along with the support of a Google Cloud-backed data platform, the partners will work to build and validate digital health programs for early intervention and engagement.

The randomized controlled trial of the jointly-developed digital therapeutics will be conducted using Verily's Project Baseline and enroll up to 540 patients. 

Also: MGH and MIT create new tool for organizations to calculate benefits of onsite COVID-19 testing and Scanwell teams up with BD for a home coronavirus test.

In a J P. Morgan virtual talk, CEO Jason Gorevic said the programs have either already kicked off or will be launching later this year.

The research project will be conducted using the Apple Watch and iPhone, and is set to begin during 2021.

The newest deals bring the year's total to a record-setting 64 digital health acquisitions.

Also: Zimmer Biomet adds to its Apple Watch-based care-management tool with the Hospital for Special Surgery; OptimizeRx and Komodo Health integrate their systems.

Backed by an unannounced $3.2 million seed funding round from 2019, the virtual mental healthcare startup has announced three new partner schools and the official launch of its integrated "Managed Care Program" offering.
