Our take

Gathering data on patients is vital to provide healthcare workers with the information that they need to reduce repeat hospitalizations, but retrieving such data requires patient monitoring through expensive medical equipment. This ultimately reduces spaces in hospitals and clinics when patients could otherwise be cared for from home, presenting an increased demand for remote patient monitoring (RPM) technology.

Athelas develops RPM hardware and software platforms, helping the healthcare industry monitor the health data of patients without the need for them to be present in hospitals or clinics. The company's solutions include remote devices for blood diagnostics, sensor-driven pillboxes, and glucometers, which connect through software applications for doctors, EHR integrations, and a unified RPM platform.

Whilst the company faces competition from other RPM platforms, Athelas stands out by providing a comprehensive range of hardware monitoring devices and software applications, ultimately contributing toward an all-in-one RPM ecosystem. The company reports that its solutions have resulted in a 30% increase in patient engagement and a 20% reduction in hospitalizations and ER visits. A merger with fellow healthcare infrastructure unicorn Commure in 2023 will combine both companies' fast-growing revenue lines and promise a lucrative future Athelas.
