Teladoc Acquires Advanced Medical

Teladoc, a New York-based telehealth company which has been providing telephone-based mHealth services recently completed its acquisition of Advance Medical, a U.S. based company to expand its market across Latin America and Asia. The deal allows the combined company to have more than 2,000 employees. It also brings faster access to healthcare to people in 125 countries in more than 20 languages.

Roche Diabetes Care Launches New Glucometer

Roche Diabetes Care India recently launched its new glucometer Accu-Chek Instant S. The launch marks the company’s entry in the diabetes self-monitoring market. Offering the best-in-class accuracy, the product meets the latest global ISO 15197:2013 standards. The Instant-S makes blood glucose testing simple and the reading of results easy. A 9-level target range indicator in the meter gives the PwD an indication of the range where their reading falls in – normal, high and low. This makes the reading easily understandable. “With India having the second highest population of people with diabetes (PwDs) in the world, we saw the need to take regular self-monitoring of diabetes to a larger population with a product that is not just affordable but is also easy to use. Self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) is integral to diabetes management,” said Sidhartha Roy, managing director of Roche Diabetes Care India.
