Consumer electronics giant LG has made a big foray into the digital health arena via a partnership with US telehealth player Amwell.
The two companies say they intend to develop “device-based service solutions designed to make it easier for patients to access care, whether in a hospital or at home.”
South Korean LG – which makes a huge range of devices from TVs and refrigerators to cell phones and computer monitors – will create devices that will be able to host services from Amwell’s Converge digital health platform.
