New LG NOVA Digital Health Venture Aims
to Enable Providers to Offer Patients Personalized Home
Care
SANTA
CLARA, Calif., May 13, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Global innovator LG Electronics has unveiled
"Primefocus Health," a new venture that aims to leverage innovative
technologies and new healthcare therapies to enable providers to
deliver a personalized, complete care experience and empower
individuals to take control of their health at home.
Primefocus Health is the first new
venture launched by LG NOVA, LG Electronics' North America
Innovation Center.
This new provider-focused, patient-centric healthcare platform
intends to give patients access to new healthcare therapies made
available by innovative technology applications, as well as
providers access to patient data and progress information to help
ensure that their patients are on the right path to better
health.
Healthcare providers are under pressure to improve patient care,
reduce re-admissions and patient and provider costs. However,
according to the National Institutes of Health, more than
$52.4 billion is spent annually to
care for patients who were readmitted to the hospital within 30
days for a previously treated condition.
To help reduce these costs and enable better personalized care,
Primefocus Health plans to develop a remote monitoring and
healthcare delivery platform, using innovative non-invasive
technology for tracking patient progress for multiple medical
conditions which can be integrated with the provider's electronic
health record system, artificial intelligence and machine learning
capabilities for ease of use. The platform aims to empower
healthcare providers to effectively manage outcomes, assist, guide,
communicate and intervene when needed to deliver quality care.
"LG Electronics has a longstanding, trusted reputation with
consumers in homes worldwide, and in unveiling Primefocus Health we
are seeking to build on that history as we ask consumers to trust
us, in collaboration with their providers, with their healthcare
management as well," said Darren
Sabo, CEO of Primefocus Health. "Primefocus Health is
committed to leveraging the latest technology to revolutionize
patient care at home, leading toward a future of personalized,
accessible and effective care."
As an LG NOVA-backed company, Primefocus Health brings the
high-quality, innovative experience of the LG brand to healthcare.
For providers, the Primefocus Health platform will be designed to
enable them to extend their care beyond the hospital to the home
with the objective of reducing the strain on the provider to keep
their patients healthy.
"LG NOVA is dedicated to building businesses that drive positive
change and enhance people's lives," said Sokwoo Rhee, executive
vice president of innovation at LG Electronics and head of LG NOVA.
"We recognize that technology can play a key role in the
transformation of patient care and the healthcare industry at
large, and we are committed to leading that charge with Primefocus
Health. We look forward to seeing its impact on transforming home
healthcare for patients and providers alike."
