The company also announced the winners of the Global 2net App Developer Challenge after the 10-month competition.

"We have a number of collaborators now leveraging our 2net and HealthyCircles Platforms in really exciting ways," said Rick Valencia, senior VP and GM of Qualcomm Life. "Leading organizations like the American Heart Association, WebMD and BioScrip, are working with us and our ecosystem members to develop innovative solutions that expand patient access to improved care and tools to better manage their own health."

The American Heart Association (AHA) is working with Qualcomm Life on its new Connected Heart Health initiative, which combines leading wireless technologies and evidence-based CarePlans to improve care coordination and outcomes for post-acute cardiovascular and stroke care.

Enabled by Qualcomm Life's 2net and HealthyCircles Platforms, Connected Heart Health is one of the industry's first comprehensive data connectivity management and care coordination solutions that bridges the gap between patients and providers to better inform care decisions.

"Qualcomm Life's technology platforms provide the potential for us to help Accountable Care Organizations (ACO) rapidly build a clinically integrated network that delivers better care to more patients, at a reduced cost," said Nancy Brown, CEO, American Heart Association. "By streamlining post-acute care management and coordination, we aim to improve population health and reduce costly readmission rates."
