What Vivisol Srl does

Vivisol S.r.l. is an Italian home healthcare provider founded in 1989 in Monza as a wholly-owned subsidiary of SOL S.p.A., a multinational medicinal and industrial gases producer established in 1927. The company operates across approximately 20 countries in Europe, South America, and the Middle East, serving 870,000 patients through a portfolio organized around nine core therapeutic areas: oxygen therapy, ventilatory support, sleep-related respiratory disturbances, aerosol therapy, artificial nutrition, infusion therapy, medical care at home, assistive device management, and telemedicine. Vivisol claims the number-one position in Italy by days of home assistance provided in artificial nutrition.

The technology platform combines proprietary telemedicine and cloud-based compliance monitoring tools (Viviopen and Vivicheck digital systems, introduced at ERS 2022) with assistive-device management software, oxygen delivery hardware (liquid containers, fixed and portable concentrators, compressed tanks), sleep apnea diagnostics (CPAP, AutoCPAP, Bilevel, polysomnography), mechanical ventilation devices, and infusion pumps. An AI cooperation with Almawave, building on the RicovAI-19 COVID-19 pilot, extends capabilities into AI-powered patient compliance monitoring. Recent acquisitions (Aenduo in Italy for telemedicine software, Medair in Romania, Oxigenar/Pulmonair in Brazil, Remeo in the UK) have added capabilities and geographic reach.

Vivisol's business model is dominated by managed-services contracts with national and regional public health systems (Italy's SSN, the UK NHS, and equivalents), with reimbursement governed by essential assistance levels (LEA) and national prosthesis tariff frameworks. B2C operations exist through Vivisol Brasil (home respiratory care) and Vivisol Hellas retail stores, but these are supplementary to the core government-contracted revenue base. Distribution leverages country-specific subsidiary brands (France Oxygene, Infusol, Medseven, Medair, Dolby Healthcare) and participation in major European medical congresses (ERS, ESPEN, EuroPD, World Sleep Congress) to engage healthcare professionals.
