OpenTeleHealth

What OpenTeleHealth does

OpenTeleHealth, operating commercially as Doccla, is a cloud-based virtual care and remote patient monitoring company headquartered in Aarhus, Denmark, with primary commercial operations in the United Kingdom and across 11 European countries. The platform combines a patient-facing mobile application, a clinician dashboard, and bidirectional Electronic Healthcare Record integration (including a live Oracle Cerner deployment at the Northwest London Virtual Hospital), supported by Bluetooth-enabled medical devices for vital sign capture. A CQC-registered in-house clinical team of nurses, GPs, paramedics, and consultants performs remote monitoring and escalation, with a separately branded 'passive monitoring' feature that enables automatic, non-invasive vital sign collection during normal activity or sleep.

Doccla sells to UK NHS organisations as its core customer base, including acute trusts, community trusts, mental health foundation trusts, and Integrated Care Boards (ICBs). Reported outcomes include a 34% reduction in non-elective admissions (BNSSG ICB), £3,900 in cost savings per patient per year (LLR ICB), 95% patient satisfaction, 99.9% patient compliance, and an NPS of 75. The business model is B2B enterprise sales via quote-based contracts, with monetisation across platform subscription, device logistics and fleet management, and clinical monitoring professional services. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. The company holds a dense regulatory stack including ISO 27001, ISO 13485, GDPR, UKCA, CE marking, NHS DTAC, and CQC registration.

The firm is privately held with 11-50 reported employees. The only disclosed funding event is a $1,522,078 round in October 2015 from PSV and Seed Capital, which is inconsistent with the current operational scale and suggests either undisclosed subsequent capital, strong contract-funded cash generation, or that the headcount understates the actual workforce (particularly given reliance on a contracted clinical team). Leadership includes Henrik Ledgaard Ibsen (CEO), Thomas Ravnholt (Co-founder and CTO), and Michael Ganser (Executive Chairman). The company's progression from a 2015 OpenTeleHealth founding to a 2019 Doccla launch and 2022 multi-country expansion reflects a deliberate repositioning from a generic remote monitoring platform into a branded, NHS-anchored virtual wards provider.
