Caregility and Hoy Health Partner to Support International Health Equity by Bringing Digital Health Tools to Underserved Populations
The partnership will expand access to remote patient monitoring and virtual care resources, with phase-one focus on Latinx communities.
EATONTOWN, N.J., June 1, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Caregility, a company dedicated to supporting the delivery of care to wherever the patient is located through use of the Caregility Virtual Care Platform, announces a partnership with Hoy Health, LLC, a first-of-its-kind digital health platform that provides comprehensive and integrated bilingual healthcare services to medically underserved patients. The collaboration seeks to bridge health equity gaps by improving access to virtual care and remote patient monitoring resources developed with the unique needs of culturally diverse patient populations in mind.
The partnership marries Hoy Health's personalized, Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) Chronic Condition Management programs with Caregility's trusted virtual engagement tools to enable and secure reliable patient access to primary care anytime, anywhere. RPM programs are supported by peer health coaches who are selected based on alignment with the patient's condition, demographics, culture, and language preferences. RPM and care management are fielded in a virtual environment that offers patients 24-hour access to education and support.
Caregility customers benefit from access to Hoy Health's bilingual RPM and chronic condition management program services. Hoy Health customers benefit from access to telehealth services through the Caregility Virtual Care Platform to help support remote patient engagement. The companies will initially focus on digital health support for Spanish-speaking communities in the US and Latin America.
"We are working diligently to overcome health equity barriers," said Hoy Health CEO Mario Anglada. "We see Hoy Health's partnership with Caregility as a vital component in equalizing healthcare all over the world by ensuring that care services and support are easily accessible to everyone."
"Hoy Health understands that for many, healthcare can be out of reach due to language difficulty, cultural misunderstandings, economic hardship or inability to connect with the right professional at the right time. Their unique approach to addressing these difficulties makes them an ideal partner for overcoming engagement barriers," said Caregility VP of Partnerships Jenna Walls. "I see great potential between our two companies to help improve healthcare accessibility for patients of all types everywhere."
