“Wellframe was founded to advance the use of emerging technologies to better organize healthcare resources around the needs of people outside of the four walls of care delivery,” said Wellframe’s Sattelmair. “Through our Digital Health Management platform, we enable health plans to deliver more modern services that improve member experience, plan product value and market competitiveness. In combining with HealthEdge, we are well-positioned as a long-term strategic partner to accelerate health plan digital transformation.”
