Reimagine Care Partners with Moffitt Cancer Center for At-Home Cancer Treatment
United States, Thursday, 16 January 2025.
Reimagine Care and Moffitt Cancer Center collaborate to expand virtual and at-home cancer care, aiming to reduce emergency visits and enhance patient support through innovative technology.
Strategic Partnership Launch
In a significant development for outpatient cancer care, Reimagine Care announced its partnership with Moffitt Cancer Center on January 15, 2025 [1]. This collaboration, part of the White House’s Cancer Moonshot initiative through the Cancer X program [1], marks a strategic shift toward providing comprehensive cancer care beyond traditional hospital settings. The partnership will initially serve patients in the greater Tampa area and broader Florida region [1], leveraging Reimagine Care’s innovative platform that combines virtual care with home-based clinical support.
Technology-Driven Patient Support
At the heart of this initiative is Reimagine Care’s sophisticated platform featuring ‘Remi,’ a virtual assistant that facilitates patient communication through text messaging [1]. The system boasts impressive response times, averaging just 13 minutes for patient inquiries [1]. This technological infrastructure aims to address a critical healthcare challenge: reducing unnecessary emergency department visits by providing timely intervention and guidance [1]. As CEO Dan Nardi explains, ‘We’re there to help them with the right guidance. When is the right time to go in and when can and should you stay at home?’ [1]
Expanding Care Beyond Hospital Walls
The partnership represents a broader trend in healthcare transformation, coinciding with other major industry developments such as AWS and General Catalyst’s recent collaboration announced on January 12, 2025, focusing on AI-powered healthcare solutions [2]. Reimagine Care’s approach includes post-operative care and support for surgical oncology patients, with clinicians making home visits for basic support [1]. This comprehensive care model aligns with the industry’s push toward more accessible and efficient healthcare delivery, potentially reducing hospital oncologists’ workload and burnout [1].
Future Impact and Cost Efficiency
The initiative’s success could have far-reaching implications for healthcare delivery and economics. Drawing from previous successes with Memorial Hermann Health System [1], Reimagine Care’s model has demonstrated effectiveness in reducing emergency department visits through early symptom management. As Nardi emphasizes, ‘It’s a big part of how we’re going to not only deliver better patient experiences, but, overall, save the healthcare system money’ [1]. This approach aligns with the broader healthcare industry’s movement toward more efficient, patient-centered care delivery systems.
