mergers and acquisitions
Alphabet, Amazon and Apple all made deals this year to buy digital health startups, and the year saw exits for Qualcomm Life, Fitbit and PatientsLikeMe.
The acquisition also gives American Well access to a handful of major provider and payer customers.
The MobiHealthNews team breaks down the week's news from big tech. Why does Alphabet want to buy Fitbit? Why does Facebook want to help you get a check up? And what is Amazon up to with its latest acquisition?
The five-year-old Illinois company offers digital health content middleware in the form of APIs used by Microsoft, MDLive and others.
The terms of the deal, which fits into a larger global expansion strategy for Teladoc, were not disclosed.
The deal will help Crossover keep up with the rise of the remote workforce.
The company has also hired the former VA head of mental health services and the former CEO of Ginger.io.
While the company's successful G6 launch was its focus, Dexcom had a busy third quarter for other news as well.
