Rimidi, BodyTrace Partner to Provide Cellular-Enabled Scales to Heart Failure Patients
Rimidi has partnered with BodyTrace, a cellular technology company, to provide cellular-enabled scales to heart failure patients who are remotely monitored by their clinicians using Rimidi's software platform. The cellular scales provide a frictionless experience for patients; all they have to do is step on the scale and their weight is automatically transmitted to the Rimidi platform, where their care team can monitor changes in weight that may indicate fluid retention and worsening heart

Utilizing Blockchain in Healthcare: 3 Lessons Learned from Abroad
According to the Edelman Trust Barometer, America is suffering from a serious trust issue, and one of the areas which Americans seem to have the least faith in is their healthcare system. According to a recent New York Times article, in 1966, more than three-fourths of Americans had great confidence in medical practitioners, compared to as little as 34 percent today.Many argue that the US healthcare system is deeply flawed and is designed to benefit medical providers and insurance carriers
