What You Should Know: 

– Pip Care, a company revolutionizing the surgical experience for patients and care teams, has successfully raised $5 million in Series A funding led by A1 Health Ventures with participation from UPMC Enterprises.

– Pip Care is the first company to emerge from a collaboration between Redesign Health, a global healthcare venture builder, and UPMC Enterprises, the innovation arm of UPMC.

Optimizing the Surgical Journey with Technology and Human Touch

Pip Care’s innovative approach combines a smartphone app with personalized coaching to guide patients through every stage of their surgical journey. This unique combination of technology and human support empowers patients to achieve better outcomes and reduces the burden on healthcare providers.

Pip Care’s key features and benefits include: 

  • Personalized Guidance: Provides patients with tailored instructions and support throughout the perioperative and postoperative periods.
  • Evidence-Based Protocols: Simplifies and tracks adherence to prehabilitation protocols, such as nutrition, exercise, and smoking cessation.
  • Care Coordination: Facilitates seamless communication and coordination between patients and care teams.
  • Improved Outcomes: Reduces hospital stays and readmission rates, as demonstrated by recent research.
  • Increased Efficiency: Streamlines processes for care teams, saving time and allowing clinicians to focus on patient care.

AI-Powered Platform for Enhanced Care

Pip Care’s platform leverages AI to personalize the surgical journey and optimize patient outcomes. The app provides:

  • Surgery-Specific Instructions: Delivers tailored instructions based on the type of surgery and individual patient needs.
  • Remote Monitoring: Tracks patient progress and identifies potential issues early on.
  • Personalized Coaching: Connects patients with dedicated health coaches for ongoing support and guidance.

Pip Care empowers patients to actively participate in their surgical journey, improving their understanding and adherence to treatment plans. For care teams, the platform streamlines workflows, reduces administrative burden, and allows clinicians to focus on delivering high-quality care.

Expanding Reach and Impact

This new funding will enable Pip Care to:

  • Expand its Platform: Enhance its technology and develop new features to further improve the surgical journey.
  • Increase its Reach: Partner with more health systems and surgical teams to provide its services to a wider patient population.
  • Conduct Clinical Trials: Further validate the platform’s effectiveness and demonstrate its impact on patient outcomes.

“This raise reaffirms the work we have done so far and fuels our next phase of growth to ensure we deliver the most impactful, tech-enabled, human-powered medical optimization platform to health systems, surgical care teams and their patients,” said Kathy Kaluhiokalani, founder and chief executive officer of Pip Care.
