Stock Track11-27

Teladoc Health Inc.'s stock surged 5.1% on Tuesday in pre-market trading, following the company's announcement of AI-powered enhancements to its Virtual Sitter solution, aimed at improving patient safety and care delivery.

The enhanced Virtual Sitter solution employs advanced AI algorithms, motion detection, and pose estimation to identify patient movements that may lead to falls, enabling quicker responses from bedside staff. The AI technology is integrated into Teladoc's TV Pro devices and utilizes local processing power to bolster data security and performance.

The AI capabilities enable a single remote staff member to oversee up to 25% more patients, expanding healthcare teams' capacity and alleviating workforce challenges. This move is expected to elevate patient safety, mitigate the burden of patient falls, which costs the healthcare industry around $50 billion annually, and ultimately boost Teladoc's suite of inpatient connected care solutions.
