InTouch Health, an enterprise telehealth platform based in Santa Barbara, California, has acquired TruClinic, a web-based telemedicine provider based in Salt Lake City. TruClinic specializes in direct-to-consumer virtual care solutions. Through the acquisition, InTouch Health said it expands its existing portfolio to deliver a full range of virtual care programs to healthcare providers, enabling continuity of care between physicians and patients. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
“We are thrilled to welcome TruClinic to the InTouch Health family,” said Joseph M. DeVivo, InTouch CEO. “TruClinic is the perfect addition to the InTouch Health Platform, which will soon offer health systems home-to-home with virtual care solutions. By bringing InTouch Health and TruClinic together — already two of the top-rated telehealth companies according to (Orem-based) KLAS (Research) — we will reshape the way healthcare systems look at virtual care and ultimately the way they can interact with their patients. This acquisition puts InTouch Health firmly in a leadership position with a breadth of technologies and a network unrivaled by any other telehealth provider.”
InTouch Health will incorporate TruClinic’s software into its offering so that patients can initiate and receive a consultation with their health system physician from their home, further extending InTouch Health’s unified telehealth solution across the continuum of care, the company said.
“TruClinic is a configurable and modular telehealth software platform designed with the flexibility to be applied in any physician’s office. TruClinic allows healthcare providers to stand up a virtual clinic that conforms to their own unique workflows,” said Justin Kahn, TruClinic founder and CEO. “TruClinic’s software is easy to use, affordable and scalable — which allows our customers to use the technology to conform to any use case, workflow, or subset of patients. We are thrilled to become part of InTouch Health to provide a comprehensive option to customers looking to expand into direct-to-consumer solutions.”
Founded in 2010 and employing 15, TruClinic will be merged with InTouch Health and operate under the leadership of Steve Cashman, recently appointed executive vice president of marketing at InTouch.
“TruClinic is commercially available and we look forward to working immediately with health systems to implement virtual clinics worldwide,” said Cashman.
