Revolutionizing Telehealth: The Locke Bio and imaware Partnership

In an important advancement for telehealth, Locke Bio has announced a strategic partnership with imaware, a respected lab-testing provider. This collaboration aims to enhance patient care by integrating comprehensive laboratory testing into Locke Bio's telehealth services, now accessible across all 50 states.

Bridging the Gap in Digital Healthcare

The integration of imaware's advanced lab testing into Locke Bio's framework represents a significant step toward removing the remaining barriers to fully remote healthcare. Until now, patients often needed to make in-person visits to get lab tests done, which not only consumed valuable time but also risked exposure to health issues in waiting rooms. With this new partnership, telehealth providers can now offer diagnoses based on lab-validated treatments without having their patients step foot in a doctor's office.

Cathy Tie, the Founder and CEO of Locke Bio, expressed her excitement about the implications of this partnership:

"This is a game-changer for telehealth. By adding imaware's lab testing, we're not just enhancing telehealth—we're redefining what's possible in digital medicine."

Comprehensive Services for Better Patient Outcomes

Locke Bio's clients will see immediate benefits from this integration. The new lab testing feature allows patients to complete vital health assessments in under five minutes from the comfort of their own homes. The results can then facilitate quicker, lab-validated insights for healthcare providers, transforming the way treatment plans are crafted.

This should also ease the burden of scheduling appointments and the stress of finding time in busy lives—thus helping patients to avoid lost workdays when healthcare needs arise.

A National Network of Lab Testing

Through imaware’s extensive network of CLIA (Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments) and CAP (College of American Pathologists) accredited laboratories, Locke Bio's telehealth providers can now ensure that their patients receive the same quality of care as they would in traditional healthcare settings. This partnership is especially crucial for patients requiring ongoing hormonal therapies or those managing chronic conditions that depend heavily on regular laboratory tests.

Enhanced Compliance and Security with Locke Bio Pay

Additionally, earlier this year, Locke Bio rolled out Locke Bio Pay, an innovative payment solution tailored for telehealth. Developed in partnership with LegitScript, this payment system fosters secure transactions for prescription sales, allowing over 80 companies to obtain compliance certification, thus bridging the gap between e-commerce and healthcare.

Improving Accessibility for Patients

The need for lab services in telehealth cannot be overstated. As Brodie Flanders, CEO of imaware, stated:

"With results in just a few days, patients gain vital health insights without ever stepping into a clinic, making proactive care easier than ever."

The imaware integration addresses the challenges faced by many patients who have found it difficult to obtain vital health insights due to geographical constraints or busy schedules. By allowing testing from home, this partnership innovatively aligns with modern healthcare demands and lifestyle choices.

Looking Ahead: The Future of Digital Health

The newly accessible lab testing services are set to go live for Locke Bio's enterprise clients on April 1, 2025. Companies eager to take part in this advanced telehealth integration can reach out to Locke Bio for quick adoption, ensuring they stay ahead in the fast-evolving landscape of digital healthcare.

Locke Bio continues to position itself as a leader in digital healthcare solutions, streamlining the way healthcare is administered. Its comprehensive platform supports various elements—from patient onboarding to prescription fulfillment and now, lab testing. The synergistic partnership with imaware underscores a continued commitment to advancing healthcare accessibility and efficiency.
