What are the responsibilities and job description for the Remote Part-Time Registered Dietitian (CA,TX and NY Only) position at DICK'S Sporting Goods?
iHealth is dedicated to empowering healthier lives. As a pioneer of digital health from Silicon Valley, iHealth was founded in 2010 and launched the world's first Bluetooth-connected blood pressure monitor that worked with iOS devices. Through more than a decade of development, by integrating its FDA-approved, award-winning consumer medical devices and remote patient monitoring platform, iHealth has established a digital health ecosystem, the Unified Care model, for healthcare providers to manage chronic diseases remotely. To date, iHealth is one of the top brands in digital health & wellness and has expanded its Unified Care model to 13 states with significant clinical outcomes in hypertension and diabetes management.
During the first year of COVID-19 pandemic, iHealth was actively supporting the fight against COVID-19 by being one of the leading manufacturers of thermometers, shipping millions of them to its customers.
On November 5th, 2021, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for over the counter (OTC) sale of iHealth's COVID-19 Antigen Rapid Test. iHealth has since been a major supplier of at-home tests to the federal government, state governments, nonprofit organizations, and individuals.
