The digital primary care space just added one more name to the expanding list of virtual providers. This morning Sensely introduced its Virtual Primary Care technology suite. The new system includes a voice-enabled and character-based virtual assistant. Clients can choose to opt into having a virtual assessment tool that helps patients find the right point of care. 

Sensely said that it designed the new system in order to be customized to the organizations needs and intake routine. Clients can also use the tool for member flows, booking and service information. 

Employer health provider Marathon Health announced a new virtual primary care tool, dubbed Marathon Health Anywhere. Patients can access remote monitoring tools accompanied by virtual primacy care. The care team includes physicians, RNs, health coaches, behavioral health counselors and engagement specialists. 

"Attracting and retaining top talent is the No. 1 priority for today's employers," Dr. Jeff Wells, CEO and cofounder of Marathon Health, said in a statement. "One way to do that is by leading with culture, supported by a total rewards package including access to convenient, high value primary care.

"Until today, remote workforces were unable to benefit from valuable employee health centers. We're thrilled with the increased access that Anywhere delivers and are excited to introduce this new program to employers nationwide."

Vida Health, a virtual chronic care platform, announced that it is rolling out a new value-based price structure, which puts Vida’s fees at-risk for behavioral and physical health. This news comes just months after the company landed $110 million in Series funding. The service includes a number of health conditions, including obesity, diabetes, hypertension, depression and anxiety. 

"Since the beginning we've prioritized delivering best-in-class physical and mental health outcomes in everything we build, from the product to the care teams and now the pricing model," Vida Health Founder and CEO Stephanie Tilenius said in a statement.

"Now that we have a solid foundation of proof from peer-reviewed clinical studies and our growing book of business, we're putting our money where our mouth is. Nothing shows more confidence in the value we bring to employers and payers than putting our fees on the line knowing that we'll deliver meaningful outcomes."

Just months after Grand Rounds and Doctor On Demand announced their merger, the joint company said it will now be called Included Health. The company will be focused on providing patients with an integrated virtual health system.

“Most of us feel marginalized by today’s healthcare, and it’s all about subtraction, taking things away from us,” Owen Tripp, CEO of Included Health, said in a statement.

“So we’re turning the existing model on its head. We’re adding, more of the right services, at the right time, with the right practitioners – more availability, more care, for everyone – all included.”
