Sprinter Health and Story Health have partnered to provide in-home mobile diagnostic services to patients with heart disease. Heart disease affects nearly half of American adults, and the condition costs almost $219 billion each year. Patients often need multiple clinic visits and medication changes to manage and treat the disease, making frequent trips to clinics and hospitals challenging, particularly for older patients or those who live in rural areas. Sprinter Health is providing in-home mobile diagnostic services, while Story Health offers scalable specialty care, including treatment optimization and patient support. The partnership, which launched in Utah, aims to expand services to other regions in the future.
