Medseek acquires Third Wave Research

Medseek, a Birmingham, Ala.-based developer of enterprise eHealth technologies for hospital systems, has acquired Third Wave Research Group.

Third Wave, based in Madison, Wis., provides market intelligence analytics applications for healthcare systems, according to Medseek.

Medseek plans to market and integrate Third Wave capabilities and technologies throughout its entire eHealth software suite. Initially, Medseek will focus on Third Wave REACH3's "disease propensity" pattern recognition software that helps hospitals facilitate disease management, improve marketing efforts and provide population health tools and analytics for accountable care organizations, the company stated.

The integration of the two companies' capabilities will extend to Medseek's inventory of mobile health applications, adding eHealth technology to smartphones, Medseek stated.
