Cox, Cleveland Clinic Team on Telehealth

Building on the smart home concept, Cox Communications and Cleveland Clinic announced the formation of Vivre Health, a strategic alliance to bring healthcare to the home through telehealth and home health solutions.

Asheesh Saksena, executive vice president and chief strategy officer for Cox, said, "Fueled by access to broadband, we believe the home will be an increasingly important node within the healthcare delivery architecture, and Vivre Health is uniquely positioned to help drive this transformation."

Cox also has invested in HealthSpot, a provider of patient- and provider-driven telehealth technology. HealthSpot has built a healthcare delivery platform that combines cloud-based software with its HealthSpot station, digital medical devices and mobile applications. The solution is being piloted across several states.
