inHealth signed significant multi-year contracts with Anthem, the largest health insurance provider in the United States and American Well, a leading United States telemedicine provider.

CardieX CEO Craig Cooper said he couldn’t be happier with the team at inHealth.

“Since our investment we have seen solid incremental growth in practice and corporate telehealth sessions which are consistent with the operating and financial plan of the business for the year. Not only are we on plan for the year but we have also increased our forecasts internally based on current projections,” he said.

inHealth specialises in telehealth services — methods of delivering crucial health information over long and short distances via information and communication technology, eliminating the need to move patients or practitioners.
