InTouch Health Celebrates Its 10th Anniversary
InTouch Health has been on the forefront of providing cutting edge, acute care, remote presence technologies and clinical services in the ever-expanding telemedicine marketplace since its founding in January 2002. Currently, more than 400 hospitals and over 1,500 physicians utilize InTouch Health solutions to provide more than 30,000 clinical telemedicine consults annually across the globe. Moreover, InTouch Health currently facilitates over 50 percent of all Telestroke consults nationwide through technologically advanced, purpose-built, FDA-cleared devices.
“InTouch Health has consistently grown over the last ten years despite a turbulent economic climate and many changes resulting from healthcare reform,” said Dr. Yulun Wang, Chairman and CEO of InTouch Health. “I attribute our success to two things: first, a singular focus on healthcare, namely responding to the unique telemedicine and workflow needs of hospitals and healthcare providers; and second, our products and processes undergo constant innovation with the vision and aspiration to provide increased access to high-quality healthcare anytime, anywhere at a reduced cost.”
InTouch Health has received numerous awards and accolades for technological innovations in the healthcare field, including the American Telemedicine Association’s Innovation Award for Telemedicine and the 3G A-List AwardTM in recognition of its innovative enterprise wireless data solutions based on 3G CDMA standards. In 2011, Dr. Yulun Wang was inducted into the National Academy of Engineering. Ernst & Young also recognized Dr. Wang as a finalist in the “Entrepreneur of the Year” awards program in 2005, which honors the most outstanding entrepreneurs who inspire others with their vision, leadership and achievement.
