About Remote Care Partners

Remote Care Partners (RCP), founded in July 2019, provides a cloud-based platform for population health and remote care management, targeting healthcare providers such as physicians, hospitals, and health care organizations. The company was established by CEO Gregg Smith and CTO James Gledhill. Smith is a serial entrepreneur who previously co-founded Z-Tel Technologies and Premiere Global Services, while Gledhill has an extensive background in the communications and database management industries. The core leadership team has a history of collaboration, including at Proximiti Technologies, which merged with RCP in May 2021.

The company's business model is designed to facilitate the adoption of remote care by minimizing upfront investment for providers. RCP offers its partners various fee-based services and devices, and in some cases, provides financing for equipment to ensure providers can be cash-flow positive from the start. This model supports both fee-for-service and value-based care arrangements. The company generates revenue through monthly fees for its services and connected devices. Clients served include Piedmont Healthcare and partners from the National Community Pharmacists Association.

RCP's platform integrates several key services: Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM), Chronic Care Management (CCM), and Telemedicine. A central feature is the proprietary SmartHub, which allows for remote patient monitoring without requiring the patient to have a smartphone or internet connection. The platform collects extensive patient data through connected FDA-approved devices like blood pressure cuffs and scales, as well as its HealthyConnect Smart Watch, which captures over 800 data points daily. This data is integrated to provide a holistic patient view, with intelligent routing that alerts the appropriate care team member when a patient's readings are outside of set parameters. For medical staff, RCP offers a cloud-based portal and a virtual office capability, enabling them to deliver care remotely.
