Vytalize Health, a provider of value-based healthcare, has acquired MedPilot, a digital health platform. Vytalize expects the acquisition to bring a unique, end-to-end patient engagement service to manage its 65,000 Medicare patients and $1 billion of medical spending. The transaction has been approved by both companies’ Boards of Directors subject to shareholder approval and is expected to close in the coming days.

“As we grew our ACO and began enhancing our infrastructure for Medicare’s Direct Contracting program, our vertically integrated care delivery system needed a solution for last-mile patient engagement,” said Vytalize CEO Faris Ghawi. “We couldn’t have asked for a better technology and team to fill this need. It’s been a pleasure to work together, and we are thrilled to deploy many more solutions through this platform to improve the patient experience and health outcomes while lowering healthcare costs.”
