Primary care technology provider Ro purchased Workpath, a US-based developer of care management software, for an undisclosed amount yesterday, allowing conglomerate Heritage Group to exit.
Founded in 2015 as Iggbo, Workpath provides scheduling and dispatch software that helps healthcare providers organise in-home services such as vaccinations or blood draws. The technology will enhance Ro’s virtual and in-person care management capabilities.
Heritage Group led the company’s $13m series A round in June 2016, following $3.1m in seed funding from unnamed investors in January the same year, according to a securities filing.
Workpath added $1.5m from Heritage Group and Structure Capital in March 2018 before raising $1.2m from undisclosed investors in April 2019.
Ro’s co-founder and chief executive, Zachariah Reitano, said: “Ten years from now, more healthcare services will be delivered online or in-home than in every hospital, doctors office, or pharmacy combined, and this acquisition will help accelerate that change.
“The powerful new platform we’re creating enables Ro, and countless other healthcare companies, to deliver care whenever and wherever patients need it. We look forward to welcoming Workpath to the Ro family and together setting a new standard for vertically integrated healthcare delivery.”
