AirStrip OB enters home health with Alere Health

Donna Cusano

From what this editor [Donna] can discern from this release,  Alere, a very big health management services company, has a marketing agreement with AirStrip Technologies to distribute their AirStrip OB mobile obstetrical monitoring through its Women’s and Children’s Health division.  Alere ‘will act as a marketing representative to promote AirStrip OB within the U.S. to physicians or hospital representatives and act as a liaison for users of AirStrip solutions.’  AirStrip OB currently links monitors in the labor and delivery unit to physicians and clinicians smartphones. What appears to be happening is that AirStrip will now, through Alere, be able to access the home health area, where Alere provides services for managing and monitoring high-risk pregnant women in the home.  Release.   (Have an iPhone?
