DocGo Inc. (Nasdaq: DCGO) (“DocGo” or the “Company”), a leading
provider of technology-enabled mobile health services, today
announced an expanded partnership with SHL Telemedicine (NASDAQ:
SHLT) to integrate the SmartHeart® portable 12-lead ECG device
across DocGo mobile health care units. This expanded collaboration,
initially launched in the New York-New Jersey area, will now bring
advanced cardiovascular diagnostics to patients’ homes and
underserved communities in additional markets across the
country.
According to the Journal of the American College of Cardiology,
46% of U.S. counties do not have any cardiologists1, highlighting
the urgent need for accessible cardiovascular care. SHL
Telemedicine’s SmartHeart®, a cutting-edge ECG device enabling
high-quality 12-lead ECG performance anytime and anywhere, enhances
patient care by eliminating the need for traditional clinic visits
for essential cardiovascular screenings. With cardiologist-reviewed
results available promptly, this innovation improves patient
outcomes, especially for those in areas lacking cardiologists or
access to healthcare facilities. This helps to eliminate many of
the traditional obstacles that have discouraged people from
engaging with cardiovascular healthcare providers.
“This partnership transforms homes and mobile health units into
cutting-edge diagnostic hubs, empowering patients with convenient,
high-quality care wherever they are,” said Lee Bienstock, CEO of
DocGo. “Incorporating SmartHeart® into home visits helps reduce
barriers to cardiovascular care, while enabling early intervention
and preventing costly emergency room visits.”
The partnership expansion also represents DocGo’s continued
innovation in delivering scalable, patient-centric healthcare
solutions that help improve outcomes while lowering overall
costs.
“We are proud to extend our partnership with DocGo to provide
accessible, high-quality cardiovascular diagnostics that help
patients achieve better health outcomes while addressing the
nation’s pressing need for equitable healthcare access,” said David
Arnon, CEO of SHL Telemedicine.
The first phase of this partnership expansion will focus on
California, where DocGo is actively addressing healthcare access
challenges in underserved areas. By equipping mobile health
vehicles with SmartHeart® technology, DocGo will provide critical
cardiovascular diagnostics to rural communities and healthcare
deserts.
