Rhythm Healthcare

What Rhythm Healthcare does

Rhythm Healthcare is a US-based private distributor of durable medical equipment (DME) and respiratory care products, founded in 1992 as Lifestyle Mobility Aids and rebranded under current ownership in 2020 following Doug Francis's acquisition. The company sells exclusively through authorized Home Medical Equipment (HME) provider channels rather than direct to consumers, supporting partners that deliver products to end patients and offer guidance and education. Its product portfolio spans portable and stationary oxygen concentrators (P2 series, LM5A, LM10A, TOC3), mobility aids (rollators, wheelchairs, walkers, canes, crutches, knee walkers), bathroom safety equipment, hospital-style beds, patient lifts, therapeutic support surfaces, bariatric equipment, nebulizers, and suction machines. The Rhythm Resolve warranty program (launched November 2023 and upgraded to 2.0 in January 2026) provides 5-year coverage on core oxygen concentrators, zero-dollar exchanges, and faster brand-new replacements.

The company generates revenue through B2B hardware sales to HME providers, with pricing and availability accessible via an online customer portal that was launched in May 2022. New providers must complete a credit application to become authorized. Rhythm supports its channel through a field sales force that visits provider partners monthly for education and product updates, supplemented by webinars, industry podcasts, and a website catalog. The company's headquarters is in New York, with operating presence in St. Petersburg, Florida, and a 60,000-square-foot distribution center opened in Atlanta, Georgia in May 2025. In April 2025, Rhythm expanded internationally through exclusive distribution partnerships with Kego in Canada, Flavien Dubiel as Managing Director in France, and Healthlink 3PL in Amsterdam. The organization operates with 51–100 employees and has earned recognition on the Tampa Bay Business Journal Fast 50 in 2024 (#7) and 2025 (#13), as well as the INC 5000 at #834 in 2025 with 506% three-year growth.

Direct peers

• Drive DeVilbiss Healthcare: Drive DeVilbiss is one of the largest U.S. manufacturers and distributors of DME and respiratory products (oxygen concentrators, hospital beds, mobility aids), selling through the same HME channel as Rhythm. Highly comparable on portfolio breadth, customer base, and B2B channel motion.
• Invacare Holdings: Invacare is a long-established DME manufacturer with overlapping product categories in oxygen concentrators, mobility (wheelchairs, walkers), beds, and respiratory. Like Rhythm, it serves HME providers as its primary channel, though at much larger scale and with broader global reach.
• Inogen: Inogen is a U.S. specialist in portable oxygen concentrators, overlapping most directly with Rhythm's P2 product family. It sells through HME providers and direct-to-consumer channels, making it a focused respiratory peer even though Rhythm's portfolio is broader.
• Caire (Chart Industries): Caire, part of Chart Industries, manufactures stationary and portable oxygen concentrators (e.g., AirSep, SeQual) for the home oxygen market. Directly comparable to Rhythm's LM5A, LM10A, and TOC3 lines in product, channel, and end-customer use case.
• Compass Health Brands: Compass Health Brands manufactures and distributes DME including rollators, bathroom safety, beds, and respiratory accessories, selling through HME and retail channels. Comparable mid-size DME distributor with overlapping mobility and home care categories.

Broad incumbents

• Philips Respironics: Philips Respironics is a leading global player in sleep and respiratory care, with stationary and portable oxygen concentrators, CPAP/BiPAP, and ventilation. Its partial market exit created the gap Rhythm explicitly filled, making it the most relevant broad incumbent to track.
• ResMed: ResMed is a global leader in sleep-disordered breathing and respiratory care (CPAP, BiPAP, ventilators, oxygen). While its core focus is sleep apnea, its growing home oxygen footprint makes it a broader incumbent with overlapping providers and reimbursement exposure.
• McKesson Medical-Surgical: McKesson is the largest U.S. medical-surgical distributor, supplying HME providers, hospitals, and pharmacies with DME, respiratory, and consumables. It is not a direct competitor on branded hardware but competes on distribution scale, catalog breadth, and supply-chain services to the same HME channel.

Others

• Quipt Home Medical: Quipt is a fast-growing U.S. HME provider and Rhythm customer that operates respiratory and DME programs nationwide. Not a product competitor, but a buyer peer whose growth and consolidation strategy materially shapes Rhythm's demand and pricing environment.
• AdaptHealth Corp. AdaptHealth is one of the largest U.S. HME providers, focused on sleep, respiratory, and home medical equipment. Like Quipt, it is a Rhythm customer and channel consolidator whose scale influences purchasing leverage and competitive dynamics across Rhythm's provider base.
