WellCare Today

What WellCare Today does

WellCare Today, LLC is a privately held New Jersey-based company that operates a remote health monitoring ecosystem built around its HealthAssist software platform embedded in Samsung Galaxy LTE smartwatches. The platform converts a standalone LTE smartwatch into a medical alert and biometric monitoring device, continuously tracking heart rate, blood oxygen, temperature, ECG, sleep, and activity, with fall detection, one-press 911 calling, GPS updates every 30 minutes, medication reminders, and prescription refill alerts. Out-of-range readings trigger SMS alerts to caregivers via the HealthAlert feature, and an optional AI-based Virtual Nurse (Annie) places outbound calls to review measurements and send transcripts to caregivers.

The company serves three customer segments: (1) elderly and at-risk individuals and their caregivers purchasing directly through e-commerce or phone; (2) primary care physicians and medical practices that enroll patients in Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) and bill Medicare under CPT codes 99454, 99457, and 99458; and (3) channel partners (physician groups, and potentially independent pharmacies) paying setup and monthly licensing fees. Revenue is generated through hardware sales (smartwatch with HealthAssist), recurring monthly subscriptions (Gold tier ~$50-$68/month, Platinum ~$54-$68/month, plus $9/month for Annie), physician RPM licensing ($275/month per physician), and channel partner access fees ($500 setup + $150/month). Cellular-enabled BP cuff, glucometer, weight scale, and spirometer peripherals extend RPM applicability to chronic condition management.

The business is small (1-10 employees), operates only in the United States, has no disclosed institutional funding, and is the subject of a May 2026 non-binding LOI from Wellgistics Health, Inc. to acquire the company for approximately $15 million ($3M cash plus performance-based earnout in preferred stock), with the strategic intent of integrating the platform with Wellgistics Health's MSO pilot, Kare Clinicals, and a network of over 6,500 independent pharmacies. WellCare Today received PC Magazine's 2026 Editor's Choice award for its flagship Samsung Galaxy LTE Smartwatch with HealthAssist product.
