Carepath Connect Designated Activity Company

What Carepath Connect Designated Activity Company does

Carepath Connect Designated Activity Company, trading as Care-Connect, is an Ireland-based private partnership established in November 2022 between Centric Health and Irish Life Health. The company delivers nurse-led remote patient monitoring programmes for three chronic-condition cohorts: heart failure (Heart Care Programme), chronic respiratory conditions including COPD, chronic bronchitis, bronchiectasis and emphysema (Respiratory Care Programme), and suspected sleep apnoea (Sleep Apnoea Programme, a home-based diagnostic service). Operations are run from a Dublin headquarters in Dundrum Town Centre with a headcount of 11-50 staff comprising specialist nurses, a pharmacist, care coordinators, and clinical advisors.

The underlying technology stack combines the Luscii Vitals CE-approved medical monitoring platform with approved home medical devices and a secure patient app, enabling daily remote tracking of vital signs and symptoms. A proprietary symptom-recognition system flags deviations from each patient's baseline to the nurse team, and an NLP-based AI scribe drafts clinical notes from spoken consultations without retaining the underlying audio. Clinical leadership includes a consultant cardiologist leading the Irish arm of the PASSION-HF research consortium, a GP clinical advisor, and a Clinical Nurse Lead with 15+ years of acute hospital experience.

Revenue is generated through two primary streams: reimbursement from health insurance partners (Irish Life Health as the founding partner covering 500,000+ members, plus Vhi for pre-approved Heart Care members) under a subscription/recurring arrangement, and managed-service delivery to patients referred by GPs and healthcare professionals. Programmes are positioned as included benefits within existing insurance cover at no additional cost to eligible members, eliminating direct patient billing. The company's distribution model embeds its services inside payor benefit design and primary-care referral workflows, with patient testimonials indicating reduced hospital presentations and improved self-management of chronic conditions.
