Hospital-at-Home

Redefining hospital care with the comfort of home

Overview

Hospital-at-Home refers to a set of solutions and systems that aim to deliver hospital-level care (pre-hospitalization, acute, post-acute, and ambulatory services) to patients at home, reducing the need for in-patient hospital stays. The goal of this care model aims to facilitate early discharge from acute care, lower readmission rates, and enhance the quality of patient care through the extension of hospital-level services beyond traditional hospital settings.

Startups in this space typically offer a combination of in-home and virtual visits from medical professionals, nursing care, medication delivery and management, and diagnostic and lab-testing services. In addition, hospital-at-home startups offer necessary medical equipment and support services such as IV support, oxygen, X-rays, and physical therapy.

Unlike Telehealth services that predominantly focus on primary care, hospital-at-home startups cater to acute care needs and assist patients that are recovering from complex procedures. Some common conditions suitable for treatment through hospital-at-home programs include congestive heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, pneumonia, and cellulitis.

  1. In-person, high-acuity medical care, offering services comparable to those provided in a hospital setting
  2. Delivering prescribed medications directly to patients' homes and offering services to manage medication adherence
  3. Diagnostic testing and lab services that can be conveniently performed at patients' homes, eliminating the need for visits to medical facilities
  4. Skilled nursing care and support services to patients in their homes, including wound care, medication administration, and monitoring of vital signs
  5. Care coordination and communication between healthcare providers, patients, and caregivers specifically tailored for home care delivery
  6. Rehabilitation and therapy that can be delivered in patients' homes
  7. Supplying and supporting essential medical equipment and devices, such as IV support, oxygen therapy equipment, X-ray machines, and physical therapy devices
However, we exclude the following areas when selecting companies for this industry:
  1. Companies offering non-medical home care services such as personal assistance, housekeeping, or meal delivery without a focus on hospital-level care that are covered under Silver Economy Tech
  2. Telehealth companies focused solely on primary care services without hospital-level capabilities
  3. Companies that provide traditional inpatient hospital services and do not emphasize home care or remote acute delivery
  4. Fertility Tech involves specialized treatments and procedures related to reproductive health and assisted reproduction, which is distinct from the acute care and medical services provided in a hospital-at-home context
