Force Therapeutics is an NYC-based provider of episode-based digital care delivery that combines virtual rehabilitation, digital navigation and outcomes analytics. Led by CEO and co-founder Bronwyn Spira, the company connects patients and care teams from the time surgery is scheduled through recovery. Patients access prescribed, phased, video-based education and virtual rehabilitation on any device at the most relevant time. Care teams monitor patients’ symptoms and outcomes in real-time and respond through a HIPAA-compliant messaging and patient navigation platform. The company intends to use the $21m funding to accelerate product innovation, national expansion across major health systems, and client growth. Force is currently deployed in 60 facilities powering digital care management at health systems including Geisinger, NYU Langone, Northwell Health, University Hospitals of Cleveland Medical Center, Scripps Health and Rothman Orthopaedic Institute. Force Therapeutics is a New York–based remote patient monitoring business that provides physical therapy for people recovering from orthopedic procedures. The company offers remote PT intended to support bundled-payment rollouts, beginning with hip and knee replacement surgery, by enabling patients to recover at home while giving clinicians insight into progress between appointments. It is part of StartUp Health’s portfolio. According to president Mark Lieberman, the company will use new funding to expand product development capabilities, fund expansion and grow its national footprint. The article references the Comprehensive Care for Joint Replacement (launched in April) and notes companies like Force aim to allow earlier intervention and follow-up care when patients fall short of recovery goals. Peers mentioned include Contessa Health, Jintronix, Reflexion Health and Lumo Bodytech. Force Therapeutics offers a remote monitoring and telemedicine platform for physical therapy that helps patients follow rehab regimens at home after surgical procedures. Patients use the FORCE Patient app (Android and iOS) to view rehab exercise videos, send messages to their physical therapist or care team, submit progress reports, and complete patient-reported outcome forms at set intervals. Care teams access a FORCE dashboard and analytics to monitor outcomes, pain levels, and adherence, enabling triage and interventions and reducing canceled appointments for patients with mobility challenges. The company is part of StartUp Health's portfolio and was founded by CEO Bronwyn Spira, a physical therapist. Financially, Force Therapeutics raised $2.2 million according to an amended Form D filing; the financing closed last year and the company said it will provide more details next month.
