Health Recovery Solutions raised $1 million from unnamed investors, MobiHealthNews has found out, and plans to use the fresh funds to expand its sales and marketing efforts as well as expand its offerings to more diseases and reach a larger population of patients.

The company’s product, PatientConnect, helps providers prevent patient readmissions by engaging them with a tablet-based program. Under the deal, the hospital provides patients with a cellular-enabled Samsung tablet with PatientConnect software preloaded. Providers pay Health Recovery Solutions a licensing fee for the package.

The system enables patients to communicate with their physician via video chat, as well as record medication, weight, activity and symptoms, and access educational materials about the conditions, which take the form of quizzes, pamphlets, and videos. Clinicians and caregivers can monitor this data through their own apps, ClinicianConnect and CaregiverConnect, and reach out if a patient is not improving.

New York City-based Health Recovery Solutions has about 15 paying customers, including Johns Hopkins, Mass General, University of Pennsylvania Health System, AtlantiCare, FirstHealth of the Carolinas, and Home Health Visiting Nurses, which is part of MaineHealth.

PatientConnect currently offers programs for patients with congestive heart failure, COPD and diabetes, with additional programs coming in the near future such as those tackling stroke recovery, post cardiac surgery, and hip and knee joint replacements. Towards the end of the year, the company plans to develop an offering for pediatric monitoring too.
