Extract from comments from the CEO, Dan Pitulia
We can conclude that we have successfully developed our business on the US market. We are now
also increasing income per patient.
Coala Life’s main focus is the US market, with over 120 million Americans affected by chronic cardiovascular
diseases. To qualify for Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM), a patient must have an acute or chronic medical
condition, which applies to almost half of the US population.
In February 2022, we launched our initiative aimed at Managed RPM in the US as a complete service
offering for remote monitoring of chronically ill patients in the home. During the year, we established our
own organization under the name Qorum Partners as well as acquiring US company Vitrics in August, which
is also active in Managed RPM. These initiatives produced clear results during the fall. In December, we
announced the launch of our expanded service which provides clinics with robust patient data, a model that
has been fully introduced at the time of writing. All connected patients in the US are currently monitored with
the expanded service which also increases our income per patient significantly.
We have high expectations for our future progress. In October, we started to present monthly reports on
the numbers of connected patients as well as income, measured as annual revenue. In February 2023, these
figures were 3,700 patients and USD 4.6 M (USD 3.7 M in January 2023). This means that the increased
patient income resulting from the expanded service is very good. Even considering that we have strengthened
the organization in order to develop the expanded service, the key ratios published in this report are in line with
our financial target of sales of SEK 250 million by 2024 with a positive operating profit and a maintained gross
margin of over 80%.
