NEW YORK, June 22, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Wall Street Reporter, the trusted name in financial news since 1843, has published reports on the latest comments and insights from leaders at: Garmin Ltd. (NASDAQ: GRMN), Teladoc Health (NYSE: TDOC), Reliq Health Technologies (OTC:RQHTF) (TSX.V:RHT), and AI/ML Innovations (OTC: AIMLF) (CSE: AIML).
Wall Street Reporter highlights the latest comments from industry thought leaders, driving digital transformation at the intersection of the health and wellness:
Teladoc Health (NYSE: TDOC) CEO Jason Gorevic: “Teladoc is Leading Digital Transformation of Healthcare”
“...We reported another quarter of outperformance across key financial and operational metrics, driven by broad-based momentum throughout the business. The strength across our portfolio drove revenue of $454 million in the first quarter, an increase of 151% over the prior year, including organic revenue growth of 69% for legacy Teladoc...
We continue to see significant strength in non-infectious disease and specialty visits with mental health volumes, in particular, driving growth in both B2B and DTC channels....In addition to a large pipeline of new and expansion opportunities, we continue to see opportunities for competitive takeaways, particularly in the health plan channel, as these clients look for enterprise platforms that can leverage technology and data at scale to deliver actionable insights.”
“...We're also finding that specialty growth is acting as a gateway into multi-service usage. For example, members who had a specialty visit had 40% more general medical visits per member than those who use general medical alone. This is particularly encouraging given client trends toward multi product sales, with over 40% of our members now having access to more than one product...There's really nobody in the market who comes close to the comprehensive solution for both acute episodic and chronic care, as well as the range of both digital and professional services in terms of our clinicians that we can bring to bear. And we see that in our pipeline based on the fact that it's characterized by larger deals than we've ever seen before...Last summer when we announced the Livongo acquisition, we talked about the fact that the market had accelerated and that we foresaw the strategic chessboard moving. And ours was a move to put the leaders together in the market to create an unmatched solution, and bringing together InTouch Livongo and Teladoc certainly does that.”
