Alere(®) LLC, a national patient-centered health management services company, has been selected to demonstrate its innovative integrated health management system, referred to as Apollo, at Health 2.0, a highly respected industry venue created to showcase web-based and mobile technologies transforming the healthcare system.
The conference takes place October 6 - 7 at the Design Center Concourse in San Francisco. Alere will demonstrate Apollo on Wednesday, October 7 during the Wellness 2.0 breakout session from 3:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. As one of the sponsors of Health 2.0, Alere will also host a luncheon October 6 from 12:15 p.m. to 2 p.m. to be opened with remarks from Ron Geraty, MD, CEO of Alere.
Alere's robust Apollo fully integrates a wide range of health management programs on a single IT platform. It incorporates personal health records, telehealth monitoring and case management alerts as well as wellness and high acuity chronic care programs. The Apollo platform uses applied health science and clinical best practices to create a unique, compelling and personalized user experience that offers a single view of a member's health status across the entire continuum of care. The platform also enables health plans and plan sponsors to enroll and engage more individuals by providing an easy-to-use health portal that is actionable and drives positive change in health behaviors.
"Helping people make meaningful changes in healthcare behavior is critical to our national effort to reduce the cost of chronic disease and helping people live better through improved health status," notes Ron Geraty, CEO of Alere. "The Alere demonstration will show how Alere's personal health support system leverages technology and a person-centric care model to help participants take charge of their health."
The latest enhancements to the Apollo system include a more engaging look for the web portal and social networking features to dynamically change the content of the portal based on user responses.
