At Alere Inc., we believe that people all over the world want to be involved in their own care while remaining in their homes; and that when they do so they have an improved quality of life. By providing individuals with the tools and services that enable judgments to be made at home, under medical supervision, their health either improves or the progression of an existing chronic problem is delayed. Successful home management results in fewer urgent medical interactions and a reduction in hospital visits. This improvement in outcomes also leads to a reduction in health care costs, which provides a significant incentive to all payers.
