ANTM - Anthem and Apple Work Together to Manage Asthma
America's largest company is teaming up with one of the country's largest private health insurers. Anthem (NYSE: ANTM) on Wednesday announced a study designed in collaboration with Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) that will examine how the iPhone and Apple Watch can help asthma patients manage their condition more effectively.
Anthem would like to reduce the amount of time its members spend in emergency care departments, and asthma is a condition in need of better solutions. Around 25 million Americans currently live with an asthma diagnosis, a condition that leads to nearly 1.8 million emergency medical visits annually.
