Fruit Street Health P.B.C Exhibits at American Telemedicine Association in Los Angeles
NEW YORK and LOS ANGELES, May 8, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Fruit Street Health (Fruit Street), today announced that it has exhibited at this year's American Telemedicine Association conference in Los Angeles, CA and continued to promote its virtual lifestyle medicine clinic with physicians and healthcare providers globally.
This new Fruit Street Wellness Clinic product has been designed specifically for healthcare providers who are looking to monitor the lifestyle of their patients and conduct virtual consultations on Fruit Street's HIPAA compliant FDA-registered video solution.
The solution will also be fully integrated with more than 175 wearable technologies and apps such as FitBit, Withings, Jawbone UP, iHealth Labs, and the Apple Watch. This will enable clinicians to monitor lifestyle data from their patients such as sleep, exercise, diet, weight, blood pressure, and blood glucose data. The alert system also will send notifications to healthcare providers when patients don't exercise enough, sleep too little, gain weight, or skimp on their fruit and vegetable intake.
Fruit Street was unique at ATA because it focused on creating a telemedicine product for lifestyle changes and prevention instead of traditional treatment models, which most vendors were focusing on.
Fruit Street Chief Medical Officer Dr. Asif Ali said that, "With obesity becoming a global trend, more unique innovations are needed to address and tackle this problem. Telemedicine is an ideal solution for the prevention and treatment of obesity due to the convenience of mobile applications. Obesity is something that requires weekly and daily interventions to truly be effective and Fruit Street is the perfect solution for that."
This news comes on the heels of the recent announcement that Fruit Street has launched its Fruit Street Wellness Clinic solution for healthcare providers. Additionally, Fruit Street recently announced its formation as a Delaware Public Benefit Corporation ("B Corp"), as well as the appointment of leading physicians to its Advisory Board.
