Carenet completes acquisition of Health Dialog assets from Rite Aid
Carenet Health has finalized its acquisition of clinical support staff and technology assets from Health Dialog.
“This acquisition bolsters our already strong AI and machine learning capabilities to further help our 500+ leading healthcare groups evolve their business to meet consumer demands for personalized, forward-thinking care,” said John Erwin, CEO of Carenet. “With our combined technology platforms, we can continue leveraging our deep data-driven insights to power more seamless engagement experiences for patients and members.”
The Health Dialog Pathways Engine predictive analytics and machine learning platform uses 600+ health data points to identify long-term disease trajectory for members, including conditions like asthma, diabetes and heart disease. The tool enables a whole-person, long-term view of an individual’s healthcare journey and synchronizes all communications and channels to ensure the best outcomes for clients and consumers. This includes bespoke clinical interventions and action plans to address an individual’s unique needs, while also building proactive strategies to delay progression into higher cost stages.
