This year’s HLTH conference brought a bevy of news announcements — from partnerships to new product features to acquisitions and more. In this list, MedCity News compiled short summaries for 11 of the conference’s most notable announcements.

Many healthcare workers prefer providing at-home care because it allows them to provide more personal, less hectic care than they can on the hospital floor, said Current Health CEO Chris McGhee. He thinks health systems should realize that switching more healthcare workers to at-home care could help alleviate the burnout crisis and improve staff retention levels.

Through a string of recent acquisitions, Best Buy has been building out its health business, with a focus on consumer technology and support for seniors. With its acquisition of Current Health, the company is making a bet that demand for remote patient monitoring will continue to increase. 

Best Buy’s acquisition of CST builds on the company’s $800 million purchase of Great Call last year, which served to steer the company’s business in a strategic direction towards providing technology products, services and solutions to the aging population.

TytoCare’s TytoHome product will be offered online through BestBuy.com and brick-and-mortar stores in Minnesota. Availability is also coming soon to locations in California, North Dakota and South Dakota.

During the Digital Health Summit at CES, Best Buy Health president Asheesh Saksena and GreatCall CEO David Inns talked about how technology like the smart home can be used to help seniors live independently.

Last year, the retailer appointed Aeesh Saksena as president of Best Buy Health and added two individuals from the healthcare sector — Eugene Woods and Cindy Kent — to its board of directors.

Private equity firm GTCR originally acquired GreatCall, which provides products like the “Jitterbug” phones for seniors, last year.

During an earnings call last week, CEO Hubert Joly said the company is testing a service called Assured Living that utilizes tech to help older people stay healthy while at home.
