West Conshohocken, Pennsylvania-based chronic care management app developer CareCam Health Systems raised $2.4 million, according to an SEC filing. This brings the company's total funding to at least $12.4 million.

The company's chronic care management offering, called vHealth, helps patients record videos of care management activities, like giving themselves a diabetic foot exam or using their glucometer. The service offers a facial detection process to verify that the correct patient is taking the video and performing care activities. All videos are sent to a "flashboard" that providers can use to view the videos and see trends in the patient's self care.

Conditions that the service is designed to help with include asthma, CHF, COPD, diabetes, hypertension, and co-morbidities. Patients can record themselves taking medication and monitoring biometric readings like blood glucose, blood pressure, or weight.

In return, providers can use vHealth to send patients curated and personalized video content. The videos are designed to help patients understand how to manage their condition and educate patients on the importance of following their care plan. Videos sent to the patient can also identify early indications of disease progression and offer strategies to help patients improve their health.

According to the company, using video instead of audio or text messages results in increased learning, rate of absorption, and content retention for patients. Additionally, the company said that when providers use the app to watch the patient-recorded videos, it will help them understand if the patient's disease has progressed.
