Telecommunications companies that pivoted to telehealth during the pandemic are now integrating new services into the platform to support virtual care and remote patient monitoring.
The latest to do so is BlueJeans Telehealth, which was acquired by Verizon in 2020 and fine-tuned to support HIPAA-compliant virtual visits. The company announced an integration this week with the Apple Health platform, giving providers the opportunity to connect with a patient’s mHealth device and view such data as hart rate, ECG, sleep patterns and activity.
“By empowering patients to share this level of contextual information directly into the BlueJeans Telehealth visit, we are enabling patients and healthcare providers to have more meaningful conversations and successful virtual consultations that can lead to better patient outcomes,” the company said in a press release.
