GenieMD and Hurdle Partner to Launch At-Home Heart Health Panels via Virtual Care Platform & CLIA-Certified Lab Services
New offering will increase patient access across 47 states, reduce friction and decrease costs to improve the overall experience for patients and providers
Over one-third of diagnostic tests go unfulfilled due to barriers like accessibility, scheduling challenges, costs and other issues. This new offering, the first of a series from GenieMD’s partnership with Hurdle, will leverage the reach of GenieMD to make lab services more convenient and accessible to telehealth patients from the comfort of their homes. Hurdle’s seamless diagnostic experience makes the process simple for patients and clinicians, while bringing confidence through its clinically proven heart health panels – which include total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein (HDL), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), triglycerides and hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c).
“We believe virtual care goes beyond the technology. It’s also about enhancing access to care via convenient and cost effective lab services in the home,” said Thomas Foley, Chief Growth Officer at GenieMD. “Hurdle allows GenieMD to leverage an international network of CLIA-certified labs to provide in-home, on-demand and mail-order specimen collection services – which not only improves health outcomes, it removes the burden from clinician workflows and gives them more time to focus on patient care.”
GenieMD’s collaboration with Hurdle’s bio-infrastructure platform provides patients with access to hundreds of biomarkers via lab services from the convenience of home. This capability can increase patient engagement, providing actionable information to encourage preventive health behaviors, improving both individual health and creating healthier communities.
“Healthcare is only as effective as the diagnostics that inform it. Healthcare providers, diagnostics and labs must close the gaps by bringing together the best of technology, bio-infrastructure, and patient-centered care into one place – the home,” said Daniel Philbin-Bowman, Chief Commercial Officer at Hurdle. “GenieMD’s strong reach and patient-centered virtual care offerings paired with Hurdle’s diagnostics-as-a-service platform give patients an unparalleled experience. We’re eager to build on this momentum together.”
