Digital health is at the forefront of transformation in the healthcare industry. Digital disruption in healthcare has been underway for years, with healthcare organizations trying to digitize operations and processes to maximize efficiency, reduce costs while increasing quality care. As part of the collaboration, League will architect, configure and implement the platform utilizing Humana's systems and content, with the goal of connecting benefit information, health and well-being resources, and support in one seamless application. League will be responsible for ongoing application management, enhancements, and platform innovation.
League is thrilled to partner with Humana to help build upon and accelerate its digital transformation. Our innovative Platform as a Service (PaaS) offering, paired with Humana's healthcare expertise will help to provide a best-in-class customer experience for their members.
