WebCareHealth

WebCareHealth, initially known as 1CommMedical, is a health technology company established in 2013 providing turnkey remote patient monitoring (RPM) solutions for healthcare organizations. The company was co-founded by CEO Dr. Teresa Sieck, whose background includes nearly 20 years in clinical practice. This firsthand experience with the daily challenges in healthcare and patient needs, coupled with her PhD research on healthcare disparities, directly informed the company's mission to improve access to care. Sieck identified an opportunity to create a new care delivery model that partners with clinics rather than requiring them to outsource patient management.

The company's business model centers on providing a comprehensive service package that includes its proprietary software platform, integrated medical devices, EHR integration, automated billing reports, and care coordination services. This allows physician practices to implement and scale RPM programs without the operational burden of managing the technology and logistics themselves. WebCareHealth generates revenue through a per-patient monthly fee, enabling providers to create a positive cash flow using established CPT codes for RPM and INR home testing.

WebCareHealth's platform collects and transmits real-time physiologic data—such as blood pressure, weight, heart rate, ECG, and glucose levels—from patients at home directly to their care teams. This constant stream of data allows for proactive interventions and adjustments to care plans. The company offers specialized solutions for a range of chronic conditions, including its flagship product, CoagMgr, for anticoagulation therapy management. Other modules target heart failure (HFMgr), chronic pain (PainMgr), and atrial fibrillation (AFibMgr), with additional capabilities for COPD, hypertension, and diabetes, among others. A key achievement for the company was its acquisition by CoachCare, a New York-based virtual health company, in a deal that closed in August 2023. This transaction integrated WebCareHealth's specialized capabilities, particularly in at-home INR blood testing, into CoachCare's broader suite of virtual health services.
