US-based telehealth company Caregility has expanded its international footprint by partnering with Media Plus and Yahman in Japan.
The company said these partnerships underscore its commitment to modernising care delivery across different health systems amid growing demand for virtual care solutions worldwide.
Media Plus president Naoko Sugano said: “Caregility’s advanced platform is an innovative solution to solve the problems and challenges caused by under-resourced healthcare practices.
“We will leverage our experience with video collaboration and technology to introduce a new way of providing care through virtual nursing for hospitals in Japan.”
Caregility's Cloud virtual care platform and telehealth devices are designed to enable health systems to harness the benefits of remote care, regardless of their location or economic framework.
These technologies address critical challenges faced by both private and government-subsidised health providers, such as shortages of nurses and doctors.
They are designed to facilitate rapid deployment in new regions, making it easier for Caregility to enter diverse markets.
Caregility's edge devices also come with native AI capabilities that process data locally to improve security and scalability.
Caregility chief operating officer and president Mike Brandofino said: “Our expansion with these international partners helps Caregility fulfil its mission to provide a seamless flow of communication across all aspects of the care continuum by providing the most reliable, scalable, and flexible healthy communications platform globally.”
Caregility's global partnership network also includes Tamar and Granteq in the Middle East and Mod3rn Cloud in Australia.
The company currently serves customers in Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Canada, and expects to onboard new customers in Japan and Australia this year.
Last month, Caregility partnered with Johns Hopkins Medicine in the US to implement its Cloud virtual care platform and a suite of inpatient telehealth devices across four Johns Hopkins hospitals.
