Extend Care

Extend rehab beyond session 36

Extend Care combines personalized home exercise programs with remote therapeutic monitoring, helping rehab teams to continue supporting patients after discharge and unlock revenue through RTM billing.

The gap in chronic care

Rehab works. Then it ends.

Pulmonary rehabilitation is among the most effective non-drug treatments for chronic lung disease. But coverage stops after a short course of sessions, and when it does, patients lose the structure, the schedule and the accountability that were keeping them well.

Participation falls off at exactly the point where sustaining the gains matters most, and the clinic loses visibility at the same moment it loses contact.

Extend Care closes that gap, giving clinics the infrastructure to keep delivering and monitoring rehabilitation in patients’ homes for as long as they need it.

Illustrative: home exercise participation builds during supervised rehab. After session 36 it falls away without a home program, and holds with Extend Care.Supervised rehabTimeSession 36

Alongside rehab, and after it

One home program, from first session to maintenance.

During the program

Cover the days between supervised sessions with a home schedule you prescribe. Patients learn the app while your team is still beside them, so graduation isn’t a hand-off to unfamiliar technology.

After session 36

Turn graduation into a long-term maintenance program. Patients keep exercising at home with a therapist in the loop, and your clinic is reimbursed for the care it keeps providing.

How it works

Your rehab program, extended into the home.

  1. 1

    Build the home program

    Combine exercises, follow-along video workouts and surveys from the Extend Care library, or add your clinic's own. Tailor reps, sets and pace to each patient.

  2. 2

    Patients exercise at home

    Guided sessions on a tablet, one task at a time, with quick check-ins for vitals and Borg RPE before and after each session.

  3. 3

    Monitor, adjust and bill

    Adherence, trends and alerts in one view. Time spent reviewing, adjusting and calling patients is recorded as you work, ready for RTM billing.

The therapist app

Every patient’s program, and how it’s going, in one view.

  • Assign from a shared exercise library so therapists personalize programs instead of rebuilding them.
  • Adapt the program as the patient progresses, while the record of what was prescribed stays intact.
  • See adherence, trends, survey responses and alerts, and know who needs a call this week.

The patient app

Designed for the patients you actually treat.

Large type, large targets and plain language, built for people in their 60s, 70s and 80s. One task at a time, with the video and instructions right in front of them.

  • Guided exercises and follow-along video workouts
  • Quick check-ins for vitals and Borg RPE before and after exercise
  • A clear record of every day they completed

Safety checks built in

Set two alert levels for vitals or RPE. Patients get an immediate warning, or are told to stop exercising, when a reading crosses your limits, and your team is alerted.

Not a generic exercise app

The biggest motivator for patients isn’t badges or streaks. It’s knowing their therapist is watching.

That’s what patients told us when we interviewed them, and it’s what Extend Care is built on. A clinician prescribes every program and adjusts it based on medical history, past performance, vital signs and how exhausted the patient reports being. The accountability of in-person rehab comes home with them.

Remote Therapeutic Monitoring

Get paid for care you already provide.

You already give patients home exercise programs. Manage them in Extend Care and they become billable remote therapeutic monitoring, turning a maintenance program from something your clinic subsidizes into something it can sustain.

  • Built for RTM billing. Days of patient engagement, therapist time and real-time interactions such as a check-in call are recorded as your team works.
  • A record behind every billed day. Each completed task is logged as it happens, so engagement days are documented, not estimated.
  • Supports CPT codes 98975, 98976, 98979, 98980, 98981 and 98984.

Our mission

Make long-term care the default for chronic disease.

Exercise is the single most important factor in life expectancy that doesn’t come in a pill, and structured rehab is one of the most effective ways to deliver it. Yet for most patients, that support lasts only weeks.

We’re building the infrastructure that lets clinics keep providing it for as long as patients need it, and get reimbursed for doing so. We’re starting with pulmonary rehabilitation. The same model can serve every chronic condition that depends on continuous care.
