Founded as part of the Andon Health Group in California, US in 2009 and launched in Europe in 2013, the company’s vision is to connect patients directly to their personal health and help move healthcare from a primarily curative service to a preventative one.
Joe Officer, Head of Accessories for Exertis, comments: “Health services globally are struggling with the burden of growing/aging populations and continue to put more emphasis onto patients directly to monitor their own well-being. And more generally, consumers themselves want to use their increasing number of connected devices to proactively stay in tune with their bodies. The potential for iHealth in the UK is vast.”
Stéphane Kerrien, European Sales Director, iHealth, comments: “Our partnership with Exertis is a strategic decision to help us continue our growth plans for the UK market. Especially as we increase our footprint in the major retail, specialist and online channels, Exertis’ breadth of relationships and logistical strength will be invaluable.”
