"Federal and state leaders have a once-in-a-generation opportunity to reimagine how healthcare is delivered to rural America," said Todd Cornell, CEO and President of MedWand Solutions. "The Rural Health Transformation Program (RHTP) has specifically defined the following goals to improve access and outcomes in rural healthcare: enabling access to care, improving healthcare outcomes, promoting consumer-facing technology driven solutions, expanding the rural healthcare workforce, and advancing data and technological innovations. This is exactly what MedWand was designed to do: enable comprehensive, clinical-grade care to all patients regardless of geographic location."
As states finalize their applications, diagnostic telehealth is increasingly recognized as a non-negotiable element of any competitive proposal. MedWand offers immediate, scalable deployment to health systems, community health centers, skilled nursing facilities, and state-led programs ensuring that federal investments translate into measurable outcomes in access, equity, and quality of care.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, nearly 60 million Americans, about one in five, live in rural areas with limited healthcare access. At the same time, 133 million Americans suffer from at least one chronic illness, a figure projected to reach 170 million by 2030, according to the American Hospital Association. MedWand's technology was developed with these needs in mind, enabling providers to deliver comprehensive, clinical-grade exams remotely and extend quality care to patients everywhere
MedWand's FDA-cleared device enables providers to conduct real-time remote exams by capturing vitals, heart and lung sounds, ECG data*, and high-definition otoscopic and dermatoscopic images, delivering clinical insight from any location. Through approved 3rd party Bluetooth peripherals, MedWand can also seamlessly capture blood pressure, glucometer, spirometry, and weight data.
As states compete for this unprecedented $50 billion investment, MedWand stands ready to help strengthen proposals with proven, plug-and-play diagnostic telehealth. By putting clinical-grade exams within reach of every community, MedWand delivers not only on CMS's immediate priorities but also on the long-term vision of a more equitable, accessible, and resilient healthcare system.
