Extract from comments from the CEO, Dan Pitulia
Coala Life's main focus is the US market with over 120 million Americans affected by chronic cardiovascular diseases. To qualify as a patient for Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM), you must have an acute or chronic illness, something almost half the U.S. population has. Coala Life offers a full-service service – Managed RPM – for remote monitoring of chronically ill patients in a home environment. It provides patients and healthcare with solutions for non-invasive and patient-centered predictive decision support that, with the help of algorithms, creates the conditions to be able to predict heart and lung diseases and thus help to avoid disease progression. Our strategic goal is to radically improve the quality of life and clinical outcomes for the millions of patients affected by chronic or acute cardiovascular and other diseases.
The US RPM market is a market in strong growth and according to a recently published report from the global healthcare consulting firm Medi-Tech Insight, the US market for remote patient monitoring (RPM) will grow at a faster pace than previously expected. It is projected to reach over $18 billion by 2026 with an annual growth rate of 25%. The report supports our strategy in the US RPM market and is in line with our own analysis based on the interest we meet from US clinics.
