Innovaccer Expands Virtual Heart Care with Allina Health Partnership
Event summary
- Innovaccer partners with Allina Health to launch virtual heart failure management program using Story Health platform.
- Program extends guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) optimization into patients' homes across Minnesota and western Wisconsin.
- Story Health integrates remote patient monitoring, automated workflows, and EHR-embedded decision support for continuous care.
- Allina Health's existing GDMT clinic model will be scaled virtually to overcome geographic and scheduling barriers.
The big picture

The virtual model represents an evolution from episodic to continuous care delivery, potentially reducing hospitalizations and improving medication adherence. Innovaccer is positioning itself as more than an analytics provider by embedding its technology directly into clinical workflows.
