Qualcomm via its subsidiary Qualcomm Life, and UnitedHealthcare are collaborating to develop and deliver connected health solutions to consumers across the United States. This collaboration will focus on creating new UnitedHealthcare programs and services that incorporate the latest generation of wearables, medical devices and diagnostic tests that leverage Qualcomm Life’s 2net Platform for medical-grade connectivity.
The first program under this new collaboration is UnitedHealthcare Motion, a health and wellness program for employers with 101 to 300 employees with a fully insured health plan. UnitedHealthcare Motion offers custom-designed wearable devices that track the number of steps each user takes throughout the day, calculating the total number, frequency and intensity of the steps taken. The data acquired from the wearable devices is then sent to the UnitedHealthcare Motion app, which is powered with seamless and secure connectivity through the Life’s 2net Mobile platform.
