Mergers & Acquisitions

Amwell told Healthcare It News that it believes the claims lack merit and that it intends to "defend against them vigorously."

Jason Gorevic and Glen Tullman see the deal as a way to offer a longitudinal relationship between clinicians and patients, bringing doctors, digital tools and data science together for better health.

The telehealth vendor demanded that Amwell stop selling, importing or using the products in question.

The move is the latest in a string of acquisitions for the Ohio-based content services vendor.

IHH will look into investing in Prince Court Medical Center to enhance the patient experience, synonymous with its brand image.

They are also launching a co-branded commercial insurance plan called the Aetna Whole Health-Cleveland Clinic plan.

After news broke about the $18.5 million deal all eyes in the digital health world have been on Livongo and Teladoc.

This week's top stories include the ONC offering new funding for state and local HIE innovation, a decline in healthcare M&A transactions and Medtronic's plans to buy connected insulin pen startup Companion Medical.

The aim is to bulk up its cloud-based DOS platform with new cost and revenue insights. At Northwell, the same platform will help mine data for clinical, financial and operational improvements.

Each Livongo share will be converted Teladoc stock at an 0.5920 exchange rate, plus an additional $11.44 in cash per stock.
