How This Healthtech Company is Transforming The US$11.9 Trillion Industry With A Connected, Whole-Person Approach To Care

CloudMD Software & Services Inc.’s (TSXV:DOC) (OTC:DOCRF) (FRA:6PH) is using its patented comprehensive healthcare platform to penetrate market share across North America

Every year, companies across North America bleed hundreds of billions in hidden costs.

The culprit? Productivity losses caused by illness and chronic diseases, including conditions such as depression, stress, and anxiety.

US employers lose an estimated $530 billion every year in lost productivity.1

Canadian employers lose C$122 billion annually (not including C$68 billion in direct healthcare costs).2

And that was before the pandemic.

Today, the situation is more dire than ever.

Mental health cases are continuing to skyrocket.

Over the last 12 months,1 in 5 Americans sought mental health support.3

But that’s not even the worst of it… 

Today, 1 in 6 US youth between the ages of 6 to 17 have a mental health condition.

Despite these troubling numbers, access to the right services has been difficult or even impossible for some.

In fact, 11.1% of Americans with a mental illness are uninsured, while 8.1% of youth had private insurance that didn’t cover mental health.4

Luckily, there is a saving grace that emerged to combat this worsening crisis and it has completely revolutionized the $11.9 trillion global healthcare market.5

We’re talking about Telehealth.

This sector has helped revolutionize traditional healthcare industries, by leveraging technology to provide more accessible care to patients. 

A lot has changed in the world of healthcare, but nothing as big as the recent shift towards digital health.

Investors have already begun pouring billions into this growing industry and in turn, experienced some serious gains last year.

By Q3 2021, digital healthcare funding hit a record $21.3 Billion, shattering 2020’s full-year record.6

It’s clear that the digital health revolution is far from over, meaning there are still plenty of wins to be made.

And we’ve found a company that is not just Telehealth but rather offers a holistic healthcare solution that covers both prevention and cure using a proprietary integrated platform.

Introducing CloudMD Software & Services Inc. (TSXV:DOC) (OTC:DOCRF) (FRA:6PH), a vertically integrated health tech company that is rapidly becoming a leader in the space.

What makes this company so exciting?

CloudMD has grown significantly in the last year, and has a unique product offering – a proprietary, comprehensive healthcare platform that connects all points of a patient’s care, from ONE connected platform which is resulting in better access to care and improved outcomes. They are one of the ONLY companies to offer this holistic offering and large customers are starting to take notice. 

The company has made several strategic acquisitions – including four new deals in Q2 2021 that added $96 million of annual revenue. CloudMD has a revenue run rate of $140 million and expects to turn profitable in Q3 2021. 

CloudMD Software & Services Inc. (TSXV:DOC) (OTC:DOCRF) (FRA:6PH) network includes: 7,000+ psychiatrists, 4,500 therapists and counsellors and 4,000 psychologists, 22,000+ family physicians, 34,000+ medical specialists, and 1,500+ allied health professionals across North America…

…And it’s just getting started.

Oh, and did we mention that CloudMD’s mission for market dominance is being supported by talented former execs from healthcare and insurance heavyweights like Teladoc, Morneau Shapell and LifeWorks?

CloudMD Software & Services Inc. (TSXV:DOC) (OTC:DOCRF) (FRA:6PH) is positioned to become one of the leading digital healthcare players of 2022 and beyond.

In fact, here are 6 reasons CloudMD Software & Services Inc. (TSXV:DOC) (OTC:DOCRF) (FRA:6PH) is a rare healthtech opportunity worth paying attention to.

REASON #1: CloudMD Software & Services Inc. (TSXV:DOC) (OTC:DOCRF) (FRA:6PH) is Expanding its Reach and Growing Rapidly

Thanks to a spate of strategic acquisitions plus organic growth, CloudMD Software & Services Inc. (TSXV:DOC) (OTC:DOCRF) (FRA:6PH) has reported exponential revenue growth.

In the first half of 2021, its revenue climbed from C$5.9 million to C$24.4 million, while its gross profits more than quadrupled from C$2.2 million to C$9.2 million.7

That’s a 318% growth in revenue and a 325% increase in gross profits.

For 2021, CloudMD Software & Services Inc. (TSXV:DOC) (OTC:DOCRF) (FRA:6PH) is currently expecting a C$140 million revenue run rate8 – putting it on track for almost 200% growth and 2022 looks even stronger. 

CloudMD made a number of strategic acquisitions over the last year to support its holistic platform across physical health, mental health, health navigation, specialists, assessments and education. 

All of these services are connected by its proprietary technology backbone that seamlessly moves a patient through their healthcare journey and back to health faster!

REASON #2: CloudMD Software & Services Inc. (TSXV:DOC) (OTC:DOCRF) (FRA:6PH) Proprietary Patented Technology is Disrupting the Healthcare Industry

CloudMD’s (TSXV:DOC) (OTC:DOCRF) (FRA:6PH) business is broken into three main divisions, and its proprietary technology supports patients, providers and corporations. This technology provides the FULL healthcare ecosystem. 

CloudMD’s (TSXV:DOC) (OTC:DOCRF) (FRA:6PH) just received US Patent Approval for its Real Time Intervention Platform (RTIP), which is the backbone for its healthcare platform. The RTIP has already been tested and is being used by various local, state and federal agencies like the US Department of Justice and US Department of Health and Human Services.9

The company has leveraged its proprietary medical technology that both engages patients and clients, empowers doctors and mental health providers and adds value to payors.

CloudMD for Patients: Provides easy access to see a Doctor or Therapist online as well as through a network of hybrid on the ground clinics. A team based approach that puts the patient first and empower them to take control of the healthcare.

CloudMD for Providers: a “clinic in a box” solution that streamlines processes and functions with cloud-based medical records and billing software, plus an online patient portal that includes telemedicine, secure messaging, online booking and more!

CloudMD for Payors/Employers: The Company’s fastest growing division contributing to over half its revenue. Provides a connected system of health solutions that recognize the unique physical and mental health needs of each person. Delivers customized care programs with Nurse Navigators who support and guide patients through their journey, resulting in better access to care and improved healthcare outcomes.

A Transformative Full-Service Employer Solution

CloudMD Software & Services Inc. (TSXV:DOC) (OTC:DOCRF) (FRA:6PH) has created a proprietary, revolutionary employer health solution to better manage the health and wellness of their employees and family members. With PROVEN outcomes.

But Why? 

Because employers are taking WAY more of the healthcare burden because of rising costs, increase in chronic disease including mental health and public system limitations. Annual premiums paid by employers are US$19 Billion, and employer healthcare costs are projected to increase by +130% by 2025.10

CloudMD’s whole-person solution includes virtual, primary, and mental health support, as well as access to specialist and educational resources, and fixes the Employer’s challenge of using multiple vendors that are siloed and don’t work together. Employers are demanding better return on investment (ROI) on their health and wellness plans and want to see improved outcomes. Because CloudMD Software & Services Inc. (TSXV:DOC) (OTC:DOCRF) (FRA:6PH) owns all its proprietary technology, and has integrated an interoperability and data sharing technology backbone, it can provide important data, analytics and outcomes in REAL-TIME to its clients.

There’s already a significant amount of employer health solutions in the market, but none have connected all these health services from one, comprehensive platform. 

One of CloudMD’s key differentiators is that it uses Nurse Navigators, or personalized health coaches to guide and support individuals through their care journeys and provide valuable resources and education, resulting in better access to care and improved outcomes. Patients can access the integrated platform and connect to a nurse navigator, who creates a customized care plan and pairs individuals to the right professionals and the right care.

The early results of this comprehensive platform are incredible. CloudMD has already onboarded over a quarter of a million individuals in a short amount of time, and more importantly can provide employers valuable data and outcomes to better manage their health and wellness spend.

Leveraging technology and an array of services that provides a connected care journey and  improves health outcomes. As a leader in providing better care, CloudMD’s (TSXV:DOC) (OTC:DOCRF) (FRA:6PH) services have seen the following success outcomes:

  • 215 Days Faster Access To Specialists Through Health Navigation
  • 86% Usage Rate On Its Integrated Platform
  • 92% Customer Satisfaction Rate
  • 98% Overall Client Retention Rate
  • 70% Symptom Improvement For Depression

Yet, despite all of this:

REASON #3: CloudMD Software & Services Inc. (TSXV:DOC) (OTC:DOCRF) (FRA:6PH) is Still Trading at a Valuation That Could Imply Substantial Upside (With Strong Growth Catalysts on the Horizon)

With a revenue run rate of $140 million CloudMD is trading at 2.4x P/S Ratio – Significantly undervalued compared to peers

For tech companies growing at this rate, it has usually become prohibitively expensive for investors to still capitalize on the opportunity.

But when it comes to CloudMD Software & Services Inc. (TSXV:DOC) (OTC:DOCRF) (FRA:6PH), there is a significant opportunity for growth as it is currently trading at a far lower price-to-sales ratio compared to its peers – giving it significant upside potential.

We’ve already seen many examples of healthtech stocks seeing rapid growth that delivered significant returns to investors who got in early.

And CloudMD Software & Services Inc. (TSXV:DOC) (OTC:DOCRF) (FRA:6PH) could be next because it is still trading at a price-to-sales multiple many times below that of both its smaller and larger healthtech peers.

Meaning the market has yet to “catch up” to its true potential – even as the company sprints forward and blows past one milestone after another.

This is exceedingly rare in a technology-enabled sector, where valuations can sometimes seem to run too far ahead of revenue.

Especially when CloudMD’s proprietary platform has been acknowledged to have the widest capabilities and strongest scalability potential.

But this “valuation gap” may not last much longer because CloudMD is planning to uplist to the main exchange12 – a move that could quickly narrow the valuation gap once more investors catch on to the company’s true potential.

And at the valuations it is currently trading at, the potential for upside is phenomenal – especially considering the company’s exponential revenue growth.

Although CloudMD Software & Services Inc. (TSXV:DOC) (OTC:DOCRF) (FRA:6PH) growth numbers may seem high to some, we think it could actually be conservative.

REASON #4: CloudMD Software & Services Inc. (TSXV:DOC) (OTC:DOCRF) (FRA:6PH) is Embarking on a Strategic, Multi-Pronged Expansion Plan Throughout North America

Grandview Research puts the global corporate wellness market size at $58.2 billion in 2021 – and expects it to grow to $93.4 billion by 202813 – as companies grasp the necessity of holistically supporting their employees’ health and wellbeing.

While CloudMD Software & Services Inc.’s (TSXV:DOC) (OTC:DOCRF) (FRA:6PH) strategic acquisitions have already helped drive an exponential rise in revenue, the company is just getting started.

Now that its integrated platform is in place, CloudMD is embarking on an aggressive yet strategic expansion into the US – a major growth catalyst.

With C$50 million in cash in the bank,14 CloudMD Software & Services Inc. (TSXV:DOC) (OTC:DOCRF) (FRA:6PH) already has the funds needed to drive its expansion.

By following the same disciplined strategy of only targeting highly value-accretive opportunities, CloudMD is poised to take its revenue to the next level.

Each potential acquisition will be carefully scrutinized to ensure it fits into the company’s broader vision – solving problems across the entire healthcare spectrum using the power of technology.

That means it will penetrate the healthcare market from multiple angles, from physical and mental health to health aging and health at work.

In short, CloudMD (TSXV:DOC) (OTC:DOCRF) (FRA:6PH) is pursuing business diversification that will also allow it to enhance the capabilities of all its solutions.

And it’s not just solely focusing on M&As – it’s also growing its global sales team to further boost organic growth. 

Offering holistic healthcare solutions to employees is looking like one of the best ways to help solve this urgent problem by combating worker stress, boosting productivity, and increasing retention.

To really make a difference and seize the opportunity being presented, companies must offer a holistic healthcare solution that covers both prevention and cure.

An ideal solution would:

  • Offer everything from mental and occupational health support (both virtual and in-person) to rehabilitation and quicker access to care
  • Support the physical and mental health of employees while saving costs for employers through reduced absences and improved engagement
  • And deliver all these benefits through a single integrated digitally-enabled platform.

In other words, an ideal solution would look like what CloudMD Software & Services Inc. (TSXV:DOC) (OTC:DOCRF) (FRA:6PH) is already offering and is expanding across North America

CloudMD’s (TSXV:DOC) (OTC:DOCRF) (FRA:6PH) solution offers15:

  • Virtual care
  • Mental health support
  • Health navigation (aka quicker and better access to care)
  • Rehabilitation (virtual and in-person)
  • Adjudication and assessments
  • Absence management
  • Occupational health
  • Educational resources

All in one!

It’s why an analyst from Stephens – one of the largest privately-owned investment banks in the US16 – calls CloudMD a “one stop shop” for employer clients with a platform that “offers the broadest scope and extensive scale to take market share.”17

And now…

REASON #5: CloudMD’s Cutting-Edge and Patented Integrated Platform Can Deliver a Personalized and Seamless End-To-End Healthcare Journey – Plus the Potential to Quickly Scale

On October 27, 2021, CloudMD Software & Services Inc. (TSXV:DOC) (OTC:DOCRF) (FRA:6PH) announced that it had received US patent approval for its proprietary Real Time Intervention Platform.18

This platform is the “backbone” of all CloudMD’s offerings – connecting and integrating all its capabilities, from primary care and mental health to rehab and education.

Such integration will generate substantial synergies, allowing the company to offer the full range of its services through one single package – boosting cross-selling potential and enabling scale.

In technology, scalability is the key to success. 

And in today’s world, consumers want everything to be available “all in one” in a personalized and seamless package.

That’s exactly what CloudMD’s (TSXV:DOC) (OTC:DOCRF) (FRA:6PH) platform delivers, which is why investment bank Stephens notes that19:

“CloudMD offers a broad range (if not the broadest range) of on-site and virtual healthcare services in the industry and is growing geographical reach, making it a one-stop shop for payer/provider/employer clients.

We expect CloudMD to continue to grow market share by this breadth and depth of services and see a compounding multiple effect…”

But while CloudMD has multiple near-term catalysts on the horizon, it is much more than just a short-term play.

REASON #6: CloudMD is Also Strategically Positioned to Capitalize on Multiple Megatrends Happening in the $6.2 Trillion US Healthcare Industry

US healthcare spending stood at $3.6 trillion in 2018 and is estimated to hit $6.2 trillion by 2028.20

It’s an absolutely gargantuan industry.

Which is why it’s so important for investors to pay attention to the “megatrends” – the long-term trends shaping the very structure of an industry – to get ahead of them.

BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager, says that investing in megatrends allows for a “longer-term and less cyclical approach”.21

And the good news?

CloudMD Software & Services Inc. (TSXV:DOC) (OTC:DOCRF) (FRA:6PH) is strategically positioned at the intersection of several megatrends happening in healthcare right now, including:

  • A rapid “digitalization wave” spreading through healthcare, resulting in things like telehealth going mainstream
  • Rising expectations of healthcare consumers who now want healthcare to be as personalized, seamless, and convenient as possible
  • The normalization of seeking mental health treatment and an awareness that the mental health crisis is larger than most expected. 
  • Continually rising healthcare costs handing the advantage to scalable digital platforms that can help mitigate cost increases

In short, CloudMD (TSXV:DOC) (OTC:DOCRF) (FRA:6PH) is a rapidly-growing yet undervalued company with multiple short-term growth catalysts that has also positioned itself to benefit from multiple healthcare megatrends.
