The deal is intended to expand Medical Guardian’s suite of services and strengthen its capabilities in safety, engagement and wellness.
The company currently has more than 600,000 active members using its personal emergency response systems (PERS), remote patient monitoring (RPM) and healthcare engagement services.
It plans to integrate MobileHelp’s patented technology into its flagship service, MGEngage360, which aims to turn conventional PERS into a comprehensive at-home tool for wellness and care outreach.
The goal of MGEngage360 is to increase user engagement, bridge care gaps and deliver higher-quality care at reduced costs.
