Company mission

To empower everyone to live a long, full, and optimal life by redefining the future of heart health.

132% employee growth in 12 months

Our take

Cardiac rehabilitation has notoriously low participation rates, contributing to the re-hospitalization of nearly 50% of patients in the six months following a cardiac event. Recora is looking to improve this, by taking advantage of the home telehealth boom. Through the service, patients receive an exercise kit, tablet, and remote access to resources like training videos, consultations, and support groups so they can monitor and carry out their rehab from home.

The company is reporting remarkable numbers as a result: its program completion rates, for example, are nearly 90% compared to the 26% national average - and only around one in ten patients go on to be readmitted. These numbers will be crucial to help fuel Recora’s uptake by healthcare facilities across the US.

With heart disease management a nearly $230 billion issue in the US, it is no surprise that Recora has a number of rivals in companies such as Story Health, Moving Analytics and Carda. Recora’s home offering is more comprehensive, for now, but the company will need to take advantage of this lead while it has it. A long list of notable partnerships are a sure-fire start in this regard.
