Revenue model

1. RescueLink Telemedicine Platform License/Subscription: GHC provides the RescueLink software platform with configurable subsystems for patient and tele-physician. The platform supports cloud, on-premises, or hybrid deployment. Revenue is generated through software licensing, likely on a subscription or perpetual license model given the long-term operational nature of the service.
2. 24/7 Telemedicine Service: GHC provides a round-the-clock telemedicine service with experienced tele-physicians and tele-emergency physicians in partnership with Unfallkrankenhaus Berlin (ukb). The service has been in operation since 2014. Tele-emergency physician service guaranteed to answer within max. 2 minutes, usually immediately. Also available as standalone TNA-as-a-service for smaller rescue services.
3. Data Transmission Infrastructure & Services: GHC supplies components (bonding routers), plans and implements telemedicine networks, optimizes data transmission quality with client IT departments, and monitors network quality during operation. Provides channel bundling hardware and configuration services to ensure uninterrupted telemedicine sessions.
4. Training & User Education: GHC offers manufacturer briefings for lay users, medical staff (emergency paramedics, MFAs), train-the-trainer (multiplier) programs, and tele-emergency physician qualification training per DGAI structural recommendations. Training covers MDR/MPBetreibV/MPAMIV compliance and data protection. Training revenue forms part of the bundled service offering.
5. Regulatory Compliance Advisory: GHC supports customers in complying with medical device law (MDR/MPDG), data protection (GDPR), and IT security requirements for telemedicine projects. Services include abstraction of telemedicine concepts for product qualification/classification, sharing of data protection concepts with impact assessments and TOMs, and IT security guidance.

Core offering

GHC designs, develops and operates the RescueLink telemedicine platform — an MDR-approved software system that connects on-site lay or medical personnel at the point of care with remote tele-physicians and tele-emergency doctors. The company sells the platform together with proprietary channel-bonding data transmission infrastructure, a 24/7 tele-physician service delivered in partnership with BG Klinikum Unfallkrankenhaus Berlin, training, and regulatory compliance support, primarily to offshore wind operators, maritime shipping, rescue services, nursing homes, correctional facilities and rural healthcare providers.

Product overview

GHC Global Health Care offers a platform-based telemedicine solution centered on the RescueLink software platform. The core RescueLink system consists of three main components: the patient subsystem (RescueLink at patient), the tele-physician subsystem (RescueLink at tele-doctor, available as stationary or mobile workstation), and the XTMCU exchange system connecting them. The RescueLink platform supports multiple specialized applications including Tele-Notarzt (TNA) for emergency medicine, General Medicine, Maritime, Offshore Wind, Nursing Homes, and Rural Services. The portfolio includes complementary services: 24/7 Telemedicine Service with tele-doctors from Unfallkrankenhaus Berlin, Data Transmission Service with intelligent channel bundling for uninterrupted connectivity, Training Services for lay users and medical personnel, and Regulatory Compliance Services. The product supports device integrations with Schiller medical equipment, ZOLL ePCR software, control center software, and all common defibrillators and patient monitors. RescueLink was first approved in February 2013 (V1.0) and has been operating in real-world conditions since 2015.
