Retail giant Best Buy has created a sizable healthcare presence through its remote patient monitoring partnerships with hospitals and other digital health services. The company has partnered with large health systems in Massachusetts, Illinois, Pennsylvania and New York.
Best Buy's flurry of healthcare activity stems from its $400 million acquisition of remote patient monitoring company Current Health in 2021. Here are five health systems partnering with Best Buy that Becker's has reported on since March 2023:
- In November, Boston-based Mass General Brigham announced that it would be partnering with Best Buy to use the retail giants' technology to provide care-at-home.
