Independa to Deliver Health Offerings on LG Consumer TVs

SAN DIEGO and SEOUL, South Korea, Jan. 4, 2022 /PRNewswire/Independa, an award-winning TV-based platform providing remote engagement, education and care, today announced a new global partnership to offer the Independa Health Hub — an integrated ecosystem of health offerings — to be first launched on all 2021 and 2022 LG smart televisions in the U.S. and Canada.

The Independa Health Hub provides consumers with bi-directional video communication that allows users to connect with healthcare providers, wellness services, family and friends in the comfort of their homes through their LG televisions.

“LG is proud to expand on our existing partnership with Independa to create innovative solutions designed to enhance the lives and wellbeing of LG smart TV owners,” said Matthew Durgin, Head of LG’s North American Innovation Team. “LG Electronics is the first to offer these integrated solutions that bring simplicity to in-home care and help to enhance and empower the lifestyles of our customers.”

The Independa Health Hub enables LG smart TVs to help users care for family members remotely or assist older adults to be more independent. As the first tele-healthcare service supported on LG TVs, Independa features an intuitive interface that makes it easy for users to initiate a video chat with a caregiver or easily access a menu of relevant professional services. Pop-up notifications inform when someone is calling and personal alerts can be set up for more reminders. All notifications and alerts are integrated into the webOS so they are always just a glance away. Professional services available on Independa include Dentulu (online dental consultation), Capital Rx (discount pharmacy platform), Coverdell (dental insurance benefits), WebMD (medical grade educational videos) and Sprio100 (fitness programs for seniors), among others.
