The company will soon sell equipment for monitoring glucose levels, the next step in carving out its presence in the healthcare sphere.
Best Buy will soon sell prescription devices for monitoring glucose levels, the company said Monday, as it forges ahead with its efforts to solidify its presence in health care.
This is the first time Best Buy is offering a prescription-based medical device, but it aims to offer more options for glucose monitoring, the company said. It hopes to expand beyond glucose monitoring as well. Customers looking for the Dexcom device will be able to find it on BestBuy.com or through BestBuy’s health portal, Wellness.BestBuyHealth.com. Customers on the portal will be directed to an online questionnaire offered by Wheel, which works with the retailer on telehealth. Wheel will issue a prescription if the questionnaire responses show the patient is eligible, allowing Best Buy to sell and deliver the device.
Best Buy has been carving out a position in health care since 2018, when it acquired GreatCall, a health technology company that offers safety products for older adults such as the Lively medical-alert device. Three years later, the company acquired Current Health, a platform that brings together remote patient monitoring, telehealth, and patient engagement to make home care easier. Best Buy now also carries a wide selection of hearing aids and other over-the-counter health technology.
