Better Health for All

Viemed Healthcare's core business, providing in-home non-invasive ventilation (NIVH) and respiratory care, delivers revolutionary health benefits. Studies show NIVH reduces the risk of death by 43% for COPD-CRF patients when therapy begins within seven days, and by 31% within 8-15 days.

It is associated with a 30.7% relative risk reduction in mortality and a 12.9% reduction in hospitalizations at one year. The company's services are estimated to save 96,000 lives, avoid 62,000 hospitalizations, and 130,000 ED visits annually. There is no evidence of revenue from products with negative health outcomes. The company's services also reduce Medicare expenditures by up to $5,484 (11.6%) per patient if treatment begins within seven days, or $3,412 (7.2%) within 15 days, making it cost-neutral after 15 days. However, less than 5% of patients with COPD-CRF in the US receive NIVH, indicating a significant gap in reaching vulnerable populations. The company provides basic support for mental health challenges like adjustment disorders, anxiety, and depression. It employs Licensed Clinical Social Workers and Respiratory Therapists, and offers competitive benefits and career growth opportunities, but specific details on the scale of workforce support are limited. The company's focus on preventative health is limited to the early initiation of NIVH for better outcomes, with no broader preventative health measures mentioned. Data responsibility includes a privacy policy and consent for calls/SMS, but lacks details on data protection standards or transparency. The company conducts retrospective cohort studies, which are peer-reviewed and published, but specific ethical conduct details for clinical trials are not provided.
