About SchoolCare

SchoolCare, formerly known as Caredox and MotherKnows, operates as a pediatric healthcare technology company, providing a digital health platform for K-12 schools in the United States. Founded in 2010 by serial entrepreneur Hesky Kutscher and Greg Goff, the company was born from Kutscher's personal experience with his daughter, where quick access to her medical records was crucial for a correct diagnosis. This event highlighted the need for a unified health record system, shaping the company's mission to connect schools, families, and healthcare providers to improve pediatric care.

The company's core offering is a HIPAA and FERPA-compliant Electronic Health Records (EHR) platform provided to K-12 public schools. This system allows school nurses to digitally chart student health events, manage chronic diseases, track immunizations, and reduce paperwork. For parents, the platform offers a portal to submit and update their children's health information online, receive alerts about nurse visits or medication needs, and engage more directly with their child's school-based healthcare. The platform is designed to integrate with state immunization registries and existing Student Information Systems (SIS), enhancing efficiency for school administrators who can run real-time compliance and health-pattern reports.

SchoolCare's business model is structured to provide its core EHR platform to public schools at no cost. Revenue is generated by partnering with healthcare payers, such as Managed Care Organizations (MCOs), and provider networks. The platform identifies students who could benefit from funded health programs—like vaccinations, chronic disease management for conditions such as asthma, or wellness check-ups—and facilitates the connection to these state and privately funded services. By leveraging the K-12 school system as a major touchpoint for pediatric health, SchoolCare provides valuable intelligence to payers who are often obligated to spend a percentage of their revenue on member services, helping them efficiently deploy resources to children in need.
