Plymouth Meeting’s CRF Health, the leading global provider of electronic Clinical Outcome Assessment (eCOA) solutions for the life-sciences industry, has acquired San Diego-based Entra Health, a giant in mobile health IT, cloud-based remote monitoring, and health data exchange.

The acquisition expands CRF Health’s offerings into the burgeoning market of wireless medical and wellness devices, bringing a new level of connectivity to its eCOA technologies and establishing a complete network of solutions to collect, manage, and analyze biometric and clinical trial data.

The combination solidifies CRF Health as the most established provider of market-leading eCOA solutions and medical devices for remote patient monitoring, telemedicine, and wireless health, backed by unrivalled expertise and regulatory know-how.

The acquisition formalizes an existing relationship, enabling both companies to bring their solutions to customers as an end-to-end integrated offering.

Entra Health offers EntraCare, the most flexible and scalable remote monitoring solution on the market today. EntraCare has regulatory approval and is used by patients in more than 50 countries worldwide.

Entra Health’s FDA-cleared MyHealthPoint platform provides an integrated, secure, and scalable system for collecting and analyzing biometric data across a variety of wellness and clinical devices.

The company also manufactures the MyGlucoHealth brand of wireless blood glucose meters, and is an international market leader in supplying wireless glucose monitoring for clinical trials in diabetes research.

“We see tremendous promise in the opportunities the acquisition of Entra Health brings, as well as the contribution this makes to our continued growth strategy, as we broaden CRF Health’s reach across the industry,” said CRF Health CEO Rachael Wyllie.

“Combining CRF Health’s extensive global eCOA and electronic informed consent expertise with Entra Health’s clinical platform, medical device innovation, and regulatory insight, we can now offer selection, production, and delivery of devices together with the complete integration of data.”
