RANCHO SANTA MARGARITA, Calif. - Californer -- MedWand® Solutions, a leader in clinical-grade telehealth, today announced its readiness to support states competing for $50 billion in new federal funding aimed at expanding healthcare access in rural and underserved communities. With the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) signaling that diagnostic telehealth will be central to winning approval, MedWand's plug-and-play platform offers a scalable, field-ready solution that enables providers to perform comprehensive, remote physical exams and capture more than ten clinical-grade vital signs in real time.

"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.
