Amwell Expands Presence in Australia with Amplar Health Partnership
21 Février 2024 - 1:00PM
Amwell® (NYSE: AMWL), a leader in hybrid care enablement, announced
today that it has partnered with Amplar Health to expand access to
hybrid and digital care programs across Australia.
Amplar Health partnered with Amwell to support delivery of its
prevention programs to reach more Australians at risk of chronic
disease. The Amwell Automated Care platform will provide Amplar
Health customers with access to a digital companion that can guide
them through the next steps on their care journeys, whether
automated or escalated to a health coach or care team member. This
hybrid approach will ensure Australians have the tools to set
personal health goals and make sustainable lifestyle changes that
can contribute to healthier outcomes.
“Healthcare has traditionally been reactive, focused on treating
patients who are sick or advanced in their illnesses. We have seen
significant adoption of Amwell’s automated and digital care
technologies by healthcare organizations in the U.S. and U.K. that
are determined to flip that paradigm on its head by using
patient-generated health data to become more proactive in caring
for members and patients,” said Murray Brozinsky, Amwell chief
strategy officer. “Amplar Health’s hybrid approach and commitment
to prevention and keeping people healthy showcases its innovation
and leadership, making it a beacon for others to follow. We’re
extremely honored to partner with Amplar Health and help enable
this first-of-its-kind preventative health program to nurture a
healthier Australia.”
Amplar Health is part of the Medibank group, Australia’s largest
private health insurance provider, with more than four million
customers. Medibank customers will be the first to benefit from the
Amplar Health and Amwell partnership, gaining access to a lifestyle
management program that will launch soon. After a health check by
an Amplar Health registered nurse, eligible customers will receive
a referral to the automated preventative care program, which will
promote wellness and aim to prevent chronic diseases. Amplar Health
will also be an Australian reseller of Amwell Automated Care and
the SilverCloud® by Amwell® platforms and embed the technology in
its prevention programs and services.
The delivery of digital mental health programs through
SilverCloud has been well-received globally. The technology has a
93 percent patient satisfaction rate among the nearly 700,000
people who have used the technology in the United Kingdom through
the NHS. In addition, SilverCloud has a 94 percent patient
satisfaction rate among the more than 12,000 people in Ireland who
have used the program for mental health care and support.
“Many chronic conditions share common risk factors that are
largely preventable or treatable; for example, tobacco smoking,
physical inactivity, overweight and obesity, unhealthy diets and
high blood pressure. Preventing or modifying these risk factors can
reduce the risk of developing a chronic condition and result in
large population and individual health gains by reducing illness
and rates of death,” said Robert Read, group lead, Amplar Health.
“Through our partnership with Amwell, we’re providing innovative
resources and support that can help improve health literacy and
facilitate better health outcomes for Australians. By embracing
this technology, we can provide prevention programs at scale to our
communities, supporting the broader healthcare
system.”
