Global Care

What Global Care does

Global Care is an Argentine home healthcare provider founded around 2004 and headquartered in Córdoba, operating a national footprint across four regional offices (Córdoba, Mendoza, Tucumán, and Buenos Aires). The company delivers in-home medical care as an alternative to prolonged hospitalization, serving patients with chronic diseases, terminal illnesses, post-surgical recovery needs, and palliative care requirements. Its core offering is an interdisciplinary home hospitalization service staffed by physicians, nurses, therapists, psychologists, and nutritionists, supplemented by three specialized product lines: Clinical Care (Atención Clínica) for bundled clinical and therapeutic services, Drop Care for individualized nutritional support (including enteral nutrition modules and a proprietary nutritional calculator), and Ellie Care, a 24/7 remote monitoring service built around a smart watch with GPS tracking, fall detection, and emergency response coordination through a dedicated monitoring center.

The business operates on a hybrid revenue model combining professional services fees for home-based clinical care and a recurring subscription stream for Ellie Care monitoring, with services delivered directly to patient households and coordinated with healthcare financiers, insurers, and social security funds. Technology is layered rather than core: the company combines in-person professional delivery with connected-device monitoring, WhatsApp-based sales conversion, and a multi-channel digital presence (LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube). The Ellie Care platform is sourced through a strategic technology partnership rather than developed in-house, and there is no disclosed AI/ML, proprietary model, or research capability. Headcount is small (11-50 employees), no external funding rounds are disclosed, and pricing is not publicly listed, with quotes handled via direct contact — consistent with a mature, privately held, relationship-driven services business.
