Onduo

The My Highmark member portal will provide a single platform for care navigation, payment and virtual care.

The tech giant shut down its dedicated health division this year, but it released a variety of consumer- and clinician-facing projects.

Eligible Onduo users can get a Fitbit Inspire 2, as well as access to Fitbit Premium.

Along with the support of a Google Cloud-backed data platform, the partners will work to build and validate digital health programs for early intervention and engagement.

Alongside new support for hypertension and mental health, the company has also introduced Spanish language support to its app and live services.

Also: VillageMD's new chief innovation officer, and Hims & Hers brings on behavioral health expertise.

From virtual management programs to hybrid closed loop systems, diabetes management companies put the spotlight on improved blood glucose management and positive clinical outcomes.

HbA1c values also declined across a sample of program participants, many of whom said they were unfamiliar with the diabetes management tools prior to enrollment.

Dexcom CEO Kevin Sayer has seen the company through some boom years, including growth that has outpaced the company's manufacturing capabilities. But they've learned lessons and are pressing on with a new, smaller sensor in 2021.

The industry is better off viewing the the floundering deals between Onduo and Sanofi, Proteus and Otsuka, and Pear and Sandoz as a learning opportunity.
