About our project

The problem we solve: HealthKOS™ = Connected Quality care Last mile - Engaging patient in their own health. Connecting patients to their doctors and family to improve the quality of care. HealthKOS takes a holistic approach, effectively becoming the primary enabler of communication between patients and healthcare organizations using automated algorithms.

How We Will Make Money

We have unique mobile solution for the patients and sets us apart from everybody else. Our application brings several technology verticals using automated algorithms in one place for both providers and patients and tie them to the quality metrics. Our novelty is in simplicity for end users in this complex healthcare which resonates very well with the decision makers.

About our Competition

I think being a practicing physician gives a very unique prospective of the problem and hence creating solution which is meaningful to both patients and providers without increasing much time commitment from either of them. On other hand understanding of the financial aspect of healthcare helps us setting in our business strategy.

Progress with Customers to date

Thank You

Healthcare communication to the patient is ancient and need to be modernized.   Healthcare industry is 20 years behind its counterparts in aviation, car or financial industry. Consequeces are unintended as important medical information is not availble in time, leads to medication errors, repetitive tests, delayed treatment and some instances wrong treatment. According to one estimate approximately 40% of healthcare dollars goes to waste for all of the above. 

Solution is here HealthKOS™ a Patient-centric Health Management System with automated algorithms that involves patients in their own care while keeping their healthcare providers and family constantly informed. Bridging the gap where EMR’s, analytic or billing companies have failed. 

Change is imminent and HealthKOS is well positioned to help bring it. Developed by practicing doctors understading the gap in care and solving it from the patient prespective bring uniqueness to HealthKOS platform. 

Investor Info

Market Size

Our targeted patient population is 55 million medicare beneficaries out of which approx. 4 million in Florida. Florida is one of the top five states with highest number of medicare beneficaries hence priime market to target.

 

 

 

Projected 3 Year Growth

With 4% market penetration of medicare beneficaries (that is half the total numner of Florida medicare patients). 

in three years total projected revenue for 2020 is $44 M.

Revenue Model

Competitors

There is no real competitor with comprehensive platform with all the features and benefits but there are others with specific targeted components.

  • Vivify - Remote monitoring 
  • MD live or Amwell (other telemedicine companies)- Telemedicine platform, completely different business model
  • Pillo - Medication management pill box, Very expensive pill box for management of medications to expensive for the patient population we are targeting.
  • bwell - Seems to be direct going to the patient and burden of providing the history and management depends on the patient. Again the patient population we are targeting needs help and can only be managed via doctors.
  • Inxitehealth - On way stream like patient portals and let patient access their medical records.
  • Sharecare - Find doctor, maintain healthy life style, keep track your health data and records.
