Royal Philips Electronics has acquired substantially all of the assets of medSage Technologies, a provider of patient interaction and management applications. Financial details of the acquisition were not disclosed.

Pittsburgh-based medSage Technologies developed a voice and email application that home care providers can use to interact with patients. The acquisition will allow Philips to offer a web-based tool that enables home care providers to manage compliance and replenishment services for individuals under treatment for obstructive sleep apnea, diabetes, respiratory and other conditions, Amsterdam-based Philips stated.

The transaction does not include the assets of a venture of medSage unrelated to the acquired replenishment and compliance services, Philips added.
