Home Healthcare Tech Expands With New Investment

A UK-based startup named Doccla, which focuses on the  home healthcare (or "hospital at home" as they call it) model, just secured $46 million for expansion. This will allow the company to bring advanced healthcare technology into patients' homes across Europe. 

The idea is simple: patients receive the same quality of care they would in a hospital but from the comfort of their living rooms via a “virtual bed” technology. 

Doccla’s service is organized around a set of monitoring devices provided to patients along with a mobile phone pre-loaded with its app. These are used to collect data that gets loaded directly into electronic health records. Doctors view the data via a clinician dashboard, and they get special alerts when diagnostic readings need more attention.

This approach not only enhances patient comfort but also reduces the strain on traditional healthcare facilities. With this investment, Doccla aims to make home-based care a standard option, offering a more efficient, patient-friendly alternative to traditional hospital stays.
