FN Media Group Presents Microsmallcap.com Market Commentary
New York, NY – November 16, 2021 – Telehealth seems to be going strong with no signs of slowing down in the post-pandemic era. As telehealth companies develop programs to support online care, insurance companies like Humana have developed affordable healthcare plans for those seeking online healthcare. In addition to supporting telehealth, these companies are seeing an increase in the adoption of digital healthcare and cost savings associated with the same. Meanwhile, telehealth companies such as CloudMD Software & Services Inc. (TSXV:DOC) (OTCPK:DOCRF), Veeva Systems, Inc. (NYSE:VEEV), 1LifeHealthcare, Inc. (NASDAQ:ONEM), Teladoc Health (NYSE:TDOC), and Allscripts Healthcare Solutions Inc. (NASDAQ:MDRX) are engaging in various initiatives to make digital healthcare available to more patients and tap into the market opportunities telehealth creates.
CloudMD Software & Services Inc. (TSXV:DOC) (OTC:DOCRF) has continued to expand its reach across North America and beyond via strategic acquisitions. On November 15, CloudMD announced that it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire MindBeacon, one of North America’s leading clinically-validated iCBT solutions. MindBeacon’s platform provides a cost-effective, stigma-reducing avenue to deliver mental health therapy that will complement CloudMD’s holistic, integrated solution. MindBeacon, which has established relationships across B2C and B2B distribution channels, has delivered very positive outcomes, with 82% of iCBT clients reporting self-improvement in mental health, and 67% reporting clinically significant improvement.
CloudMD’s combined digital health platform is expected to be one of North America’s leading fully-integrated health offerings, with a clinically-validated, broad continuum of care to address mild, moderate, acute and chronic mental and physical care.
“MindBeacon’s mental health services and iCBT platform adds another important capability to our robust healthcare ecosystem and further positions us with a leading, clinically-validated mental health solution,” said Dr. Essam Hamza, CEO of CloudMD. “Our proprietary, integrated end-to-end healthcare offering focuses on whole-person care that addresses the comorbidities between mental and physical care. By uniting traditionally siloed care, we are able to better leverage data to inform and provide improved patient outcomes.
Once the acquisition is closed, CloudMD expects to have an annualized revenue run rate of $185 million and gross margin of approximately 35%.
Earlier this month, CloudMD Software & Services Inc. announced a partnership with Apotex Latinoamerica to provide access to its database of educational resources across Mexico, Costa Rica, Panama, and Nicaragua. Apotex, which has focused on improving the health and well-being of patients in Latin America for 25 years will provide CloudMD’s flagship IMD platform with more than 5,600 medical topics and more than 110,000 resources in simple-to-use formats and multiple languages (Spanish is the core language) to educate healthcare professionals and patients about various health conditions.
Through the partnership with CloudMD, patients and healthcare providers will have access to peer-reviewed and trustworthy healthcare resources to support them through the healthcare journey.
The partnership between the two companies will rely on the integration into Apotex’s physician web portal and integration into a public-facing web portal.
CloudMD also received US patent approval for its proprietary Real-Time Intervention platform (RTIP). The company’s RTIP technology connects and integrates CloudMD’s capabilities and supports all points of patient care through a single platform. The technology also allows data sharing across caregivers to provide a holistic approach to patient care.
Not only is the company’s RTIP technology proven in its ability to deliver secure and real-time health data integration, but it also continues to be used in local, state, and federal agencies including the US Department of Justice and the US Department of Health and Human Services with additional use cases in law enforcement, substance use disorders, health and wellness among others.
