SAN ANTONIO, Texas, August 13, 2019 – Carenet Health, a leading provider of healthcare engagement and telehealth solutions, and California-based mPulse Mobile, the leader in Conversational AI solutions for healthcare, are partnering to improve the effectiveness of patient and health plan member engagement.
John Erwin, Carenet Health CEO, said his organization sees how one-on-one personal connections can change lives every day, and text messaging is another powerful way to deliver the conversations that make those connections happen. “The synergy of the new partnership just makes sense,” he said.
“Augmenting our highly skilled engagement and clinical support teams with mPulse Mobile’s advanced technology will substantially boost success for health plans and providers. We already see a 20% to 30% minimum lift in performance over industry averages when our teams are leveraged in efforts such as closing HEDIS® measure care gaps. Add in the efficiency and reach of AI-driven interactive texting, and we’re looking at even higher levels of consumer engagement and activation right away.”
mPulse Mobile Cofounder and CEO Chris Nicholson noted the two companies share a transformational vision for health engagement. “Healthcare succeeds when individual consumers are having their specific needs heard, understood and addressed. Carenet Health knows how to put consumers at the center of their care. When you combine this with mPulse’s ability to tailor automated conversations on mobile channels, we can create meaningful connections with hard-to-reach consumers. That means activating healthy behavior change at scale, without sacrificing that all-important empathy and consumer focus.”
The collaborative effort enhances Carenet’s ability to deliver high-quality, cost-effective, on-demand engagement and virtual care for the healthcare industry. Carenet supports 1 in 5 Americans—65 million lives—with its solutions.
mPulse Mobile will leverage the partnership to further expand its leadership in supporting impactful Conversational AI solutions across healthcare. Leading providers, population health organizations, health suppliers and payers—including Medicaid and Medicare Advantage plans—use mPulse solutions to engage millions of consumers every day to improve quality ratings, assist benefit and service navigation, promote medication adherence and close gaps in care.
