Podimetrics and HealthMed Announce New Partnership Supporting Diabetes Complications

SOMERVILLE, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Podimetrics, a leading company specializing in complex diabetes solutions, has announced a new partnership with HealthMed, a provider of employee benefits and wellness programs. As part of this partnership, HealthMed will incorporate Podimetrics’ solution within their portfolio of benefits for large employers, hospitals, and municipalities.

Podimetrics offers a virtual care solution for people with diabetes through the SmartMat™, a remote monitoring device that measures temperature on the bottom of the foot. This approach helps identify risks early and prevents serious complications, such as foot ulcers, which can lead to costly amputations. The seamless solution provides continuous support for individuals with complex diabetes, ensuring timely interventions and better health outcomes.

“Our partnership with HealthMed is a strong collaboration, and we are excited to work together to support individuals with complex diabetes who are at the greatest risk for serious complications,” said Jon Bloom, M.D., Chief Executive Officer of Podimetrics. “We share a common mission to focus on prevention and improve health outcomes. This collaboration is aimed at achieving that goal together.”

HealthMed helps encourage, educate, and empower healthier outcomes with point-of-care testing for hospital systems and employer groups. Point-of-care testing provides results in real-time, instead of hours or days, therefore shifting the focus to prevention, early detection, and managing chronic conditions. Additionally, they provide comprehensive wellness programs to reduce costs and increase employee wellbeing.

"We are thrilled to announce our partnership with Podimetrics and their innovative solution for managing complex diabetes, which will benefit self-insured employers and enhance the continuum of care," said Tracy Webster, Founder of HealthMed. "We look forward to the positive impact we can make on health outcomes and the overall cost of care."
