What You Should Know
- The Acquisition: LivTech, a comprehensive healthcare tech provider for long-term post-acute care (LTPAC), has acquired Alora Healthcare Systems, a premier developer of cloud-based, AI-enhanced home health software. Financial details of the acquisition were not disclosed.

The ‘Aging in Place’ Tech Stack
Driven by a rapidly aging population—projected to hit 73 million seniors by 2030—and a massive consumer preference to “age in place,” the home-based care market is exploding toward a $300 billion valuation. However, the software infrastructure required to manage this decentralized care model has historically been fragmented, clunky, and heavily reliant on fax machines.
LivTech is integrating Alora’s AI-powered automations and mobile-ready Electronic Medical Record (EMR) into its existing LTPAC ecosystem. This creates an end-to-end platform handling intake, scheduling, clinical documentation, and billing. LivTech has already built a massive operational ecosystem for the facility-based post-acute world. The Alora acquisition brings industry-leading, mobile-ready EMR tools specifically built for home health and hospice workers out in the field—LivTech is effectively bridging the gap. They are creating a unified tech stack that follows the patient seamlessly from the facility directly into the home.
“The acquisition of Alora represents a pivotal moment in our mission to empower healthcare providers through smarter technology,” said Mike Scarbrough, CEO of LivTech. “We are giving our customers the tools they need to reduce administrative burnout and focus on what truly matters: delivering exceptional patient care.”
