Carepatron accelerates world's transition to digital health with collaborative software platform

SECTOR UPDATE - Carepatron

“Health teams play a critical role in our communities, but often don't have access to the tools they need to deliver more collaborative and better health outcomes,” says Jamie Frew, co-founder and CEO of Carepatron. “Instead, they often rely on paper forms, manual processes, word docs, and legacy software to get by. We believe that the best way to better health is by bringing practitioners and clients together in one collaborative health workspace.”

Healthcare access and affordability are leading issues in our community today. The founders of Carepatron, have brought together a global network of health practitioners and clients to develop a community driven platform. Launched in late 2021, Carepatron recently received investment from Australasian investor Blackbird and is now rapidly expanding globally, already used in more than 30 countries worldwide.

Used by organisations ranging from a solo practitioner to teams of 100+, Carepatron reduces the health software costs for solo practitioners and teams by an average of 74%. Today, 90% of its community are saving 8+ hours of administrative work each week, and Carepatron also reduces client no-shows by 96%. “We promise to save health professionals one day every week by reducing the time spent on busy admin work like booking and rescheduling client appointments, responding to emails, and generating bills," says David Pene, co-founder and CTO of Carepatron.

Carepatron was founded by David Pene (Ngāti Kahu ki Whangaroa, Ngāi Tūhoe) and Jamie Frew, who each have more than a decade’s experience building software products and global user communities. The pair’s experience has taught them how poorly-served health professionals are by software, with Jamie helping his family with their community hospital in his youth and David seeing his partner, a medical doctor, working across small teams and practices.

Carepatron’s user community has expanded quickly to over 700 health teams and continues to increase its growth rate with two-thirds of its community based in North America and Asia. For healthcare clients, the platform reduces the time required to access a service by 91%, and to pay for a service by 98%. Over half of all usage is on mobile devices.

The company plans to use the investment to grow its global team and deliver its product and growth vision. Clients and practitioners can try Carepatron for free at: https://www.carepatron.com/
