Redefining hospital care with the comfort of home

Hospital-at-Home

Medically Home, founded in 2016, is a provider of virtual hospital services that aims to deliver high-acuity care to patients in their homes. The company's proprietary platform, Cesia, enables the orchestration of in-home care, connecting patients with caregivers and supporting remote monitoring of acutely ill patients. Medically Home's model involves a Medical Command Center staffed by physicians and nurses who virtually oversee patient care 24/7, coordinating with in-home clinical providers and specialists to deliver hospital-level treatment.
The company's approach allows for the treatment of a wide range of conditions, from general medical cases to more complex situations such as oncology care, post-bone marrow transplant, post-surgical, and post-solid organ transplant recipient patients. Medically Home claims its model can provide more care with superior outcomes at a lower cost compared to traditional hospital settings. The company reports that by December 2022, it had treated more than 7,000 patients using its platform and ecosystem.
Medically Home's business model involves partnering with hospitals and health systems to implement its virtual hospital program. The company benefits from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) waiver program, which allows for reimbursement of hospital-at-home services at parity with inpatient care, including facilities fees. This arrangement has made the model financially attractive to healthcare providers, despite lower costs for in-home care compared to traditional hospital settings.

Making cold chains faster, smarter, and cooler.

Cold Chain Innovation

Ember is a technology company that has developed innovative solutions for cold chain logistics in the healthcare industry. The company's flagship product is the Ember Cube, a self-refrigerated, cloud-based shipping container designed to transport temperature-sensitive pharmaceuticals. Launched in partnership with Cardinal Health in 2022, the Ember Cube aims to reduce shipping waste by replacing single-use materials like Styrofoam and ice packs. Each Cube is equipped with cellular radio, GPS, and sensors to provide real-time location, temperature, and humidity tracking. The company's technology helps ensure the safe and efficient transport of vaccines, biologics, and cell and gene therapies.
In August 2022, Ember announced the spinout of its healthcare vertical into a new company called Ember LifeSciences. This division is focused on expanding Ember's temperature control technologies specifically for pharmaceutical cold chain applications. Ember LifeSciences is developing additional shipping prototypes, including an ultra-low temperature shipper and a cryogenic shipper for cell and gene therapy products. The company secured an initial investment from Cardinal Health to support the development of these new cold chain solutions.
