capabilities in pediatrics and infant care
AUSTIN,
Texas, April 25, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Wheel, the
virtual care platform powering the future of care, today announced
a strategic partnership with Owlet, Inc. ("Owlet") (NYSE:OWLT), the
pioneer of smart infant monitoring. As part of this
direct-to-consumer virtual offering, Wheel clinicians will provide
caregivers with timely prescriptions for BabySat™, Owlet's
FDA-cleared pulse oximeter, tailored for infants with pre-existing
medical conditions. BabySat empowers caregivers to more effectively
monitor their baby's health and collaborate with healthcare
providers.
"Wheel is thrilled to partner with Owlet to increase access to
critical in-home monitoring for the nearly half a million babies
and their caregivers transitioning home from the neonatal intensive
care unit each year," said Michelle
Davey, CEO of Wheel. "Like many other popular consumer and
healthcare brands, Owlet recognizes the value of providing direct
access to high quality providers in order to deliver care where,
and when, the consumer needs it most."
Owlet's virtual care offering powered by Wheel integrates with
durable medical equipment (DME) suppliers who accept and can bill
many insurance providers, offering up to 100% reimbursement for
BabySat through insurance or HSA/FSA.
"Owlet is proud to partner with Wheel, a like-minded
organization, to provide more accessible care to parents and
caregivers," said Jim Fidicaro, Owlet Senior Vice President and
General Manager of Healthcare. "This partnership will empower
parents to easily obtain a prescription for BabySat via Wheel's
high quality network of physicians."
