Partnership provides disease management tools via cell phone

Partnership provides disease management tools via cell phone
A new partnership will provide pharma companies, disease management organizations, and other stakeholders with disease management services that are delivered via cell phone. BeWell Mobile, which provides engagement software for cell phones, is partnering with IT firm Wipro Technologies for the new service. According to BeWell, the partnership will allow disease management programs to have real-time communications with patients. Tools include an electronic diary, reminders, surveys, and other patient applications, as well as features for medical research. Currently, BeWell is involved in a National Cancer Institute-funded study with Kaiser Permanente's Division of Research and a pilot study for asthma management at San Mateo Medical Center and Clinics.
