A Norwalk healthcare information technology startup is getting $150,000 from the state’s investment technology arm to develop its cloud and mobile technologies.
Connecticut Innovations said its preseed stake in MedAdherence LLC will allow the company to continue development of its technology, complete current beta testing and secure additional customers.
The company’s technology provides an automated communication system for healthcare practitioners to monitor patients and intervene remotely to ensure the patients adhere to their prescribed care plans.
The technology aims to boost patient compliance and reduce provider and payer financial risk by avoiding unnecessary healthcare costs.
It allows patients with any kind of chronic illness like diabetes, heart disease and asthma to better manage their care plans by using common communications tools like cell phones, text messaging and the Internet, to receive customized messages from healthcare practitioners.
