About VieMed & Business Triggers

VieMed Healthcare is a U.S.-based healthtech and durable medical equipment (DME) company specializing in in-home respiratory care for chronic disease patients. Their mission is to improve quality of life and reduce hospital readmissions by combining connected medical devices, remote patient monitoring, and high-touch clinical support.

In 2020, as the demand for home-based telehealth solutions surged during the COVID-19 pandemic, VieMed aimed to expand its traditional DME model into a digital respiratory-care ecosystem — enabling patients, caregivers, and clinicians to connect, monitor, and manage therapy remotely.

However, several challenges emerged:

- Existing systems were fragmented between DME operations, patient records, and therapy tracking.
- The company lacked internal mobile and web engineering resources to launch at speed.
- Integrating respiratory medical devices with a telehealth platform required secure data pipelines and real-time synchronization.
- Rapidly growing patient volume demanded scalable infrastructure and user-friendly apps tailored for elderly users.

To stay competitive and meet post-pandemic growth targets, VieMed needed a technology partner capable of delivering a production-ready telehealth platform — one that seamlessly integrated devices, data, and digital workflows into a unified patient-care experience.
