🚨 $PSKY MedTech 🚨

🩺 Provides a healthcare CRM software

📈 Sales are set to grow by 38% YoY from 2020 to 2021

⚡️ Developing a platform for third-parties to commercialise their MedTech apps and integrate these with PatientSky’s software

✅ Becoming a Platform-as-a-Service

PatientSky $PSKY.OL was founded in 2014 in Norway and started as a patient administration tool for clinics

🩺 It serves as a platform for ordering appointments, prescriptions, video consultations and e-consultations
The solution grew rapidly from 100.000 to 1.8m app downloads in less than 4 years

🥼 And it added a myriad of possibilities along the way, starting from a simple EHR management tool to a MedTech platform
1️⃣ By 2016 it counted 100k downloads and had morphed into a SaaS tool offering a task scheduler, internet connectivity and a VOIP module

2️⃣ By 2019, it counted over 1m app downloads and added an insurance module, Electronic Health Records (EHR) and a medication tool
✨ The company also introduced a Platform-as-a-Service tool, enabling its customers to build their own medical apps on top of PatientSky’s platform

3️⃣ By 2020, it expanded into hospitals and counted over 1.8m app downloads
🩺 The Product 🩺

PatientSky’s offering is made of a Patient management tool and a MetTech Platform

🚩 The EHR-landscape offers little differentiation possibilities and is regulated

✅ PatientSky therefor choose to build its advantage on top of its “platform offering”
1️⃣ Patient Management Tool

This is a conventional Electronic Health Records software, enabling clinics and hospitals to track their patient’s health

It also enables medical staff to arrange their patient’s bookings, book e-visits and sort out their patient’s medications
This tool works as a cloud Software-as-a-Service model and is:

· Used by over 25,000 practitioners and over 4,800 clinics

· Used most by General Practitioners, Physiotherapists and Psychologists
It enables practitioners to centralise all of their administrative tasks into one tool

💊 Reducing prescription errors by op to 70%

💸 Reduces yearly costs by NOK 78k per clinic on average

📲 Their mobile app reduces inbound calls with 54%
These solutions are replacing legacy systems which failed to integrate new technologies and operated on-premise

✅ PatientSky and other alternatives are cloud-based and can be customised to a greater extent to the physician’s needs
2️⃣ MedTech Platform

The market for patient management tools / healthcare CRM tools is crowded with (local) alternatives

⚖️ Each software has to comply with local rules in order to be eligible for state-reimbursements
PatientSky therefore decided to gradually transform their SaaS tool into a Platform-as-a-Service

📟 Providing a No-Code / Low-Code platform to other MedTech developers and clinics

🔥 Enabling these to build an app 100% customised to their own needs
🥇 This platform offers numerous features such as:

· Patient communications

· Security (patient verification, authority delegation, encryption)

· Internationalisation (translation, cross-border EHR)

· Mobile & apps

· Compliance (Secure file storage, audit tracking)
· Collaboration (Calendars, messages, patient records sharing)

· Hosting services and data-base management services

· Data migration

· Enterprise business intelligence integration
PatientSky’s platform is open to third-parties, these are the ones that build apps for PatientSky

✅ Effectively creating an ecosystem of healthcare-focussed apps for patient management
Similar to conventional applications stores, PatientSky will take a cut of the app’s revenue

🩺 The platform currently offers over 60 services
Great! But where are we now?

1️⃣ PatientSky’s SaaS-tool generates all of the NOK 170m in sales for 2020

2️⃣ It plans to monetise its app into 2021 in order to generate additional sales

3️⃣ The PaaS platform might start providing “additional upside” going into 2021

🌐 According to Mordor Intelligence, the market for practice management software is set to increase by 8.3% over the 2020 - 2025 period

📈 Driven by the need to increase practice-efficiency and increase the practitioner’s time spent with patients

https://t.co/lFzjlj8BQz
The market is fragmented, with local players providing the tools local practitioners need

🏛 But governments are constantly raising the bar for software to be eligible for subsidies

🏰 Raising the barrier to entries and chasing away smaller, local solutions
In order to expand its customer base and consolidate its position PatientSky acquired Infodoc

✅ Infodoc provides EHR, billing modules and appointment scheduling

💸 It paid $ 32m and Infodoc had sales of around $ 6.7m and is debt-free, for an EV / Sales of around 5
What do we have here?

✅ PatientSky generates $ 20m a year in sales through its cloud-based patient management tool

🔥 It plans to monetise its app, which has been downloaded 1.8m times by 2020 (vs 1m in 2019)
✨ It has invested $ 38m in its PaaS solution, which provides a Low / No Code platform for building fully-integrated healthcare CRM apps
“PatientSky is positioning itself to be the preferred platform for healthcare, upon which third party vendors can build applications that both work within the ecosystem in the platform and as stand-alone applications. […]”

Johan Zetterström, Group CEO of PatientSky
💸 Financial Check 💸

📈 Sales grew 26% form 2019 to 2020 and are expected to grew 38% from 2020 to 2021

💵 Operating expenses stood at 110% of sales for H1 ’20 vs 134% in 2019

💎 EBITDA margins stood at 15% in 2019 and are expected to reach 35% in 2020
👇 The Bottom Line 👇

✅ Market of patient management is growing by around 10% a year over 2020 - 2025 period as population is ageing

✅ Market is further driven by increasing efficiency and digitisation requirements, in part boosted by regulation
✅ PatientSky has developed its own patient management tool and grew sales to $ 20m / year

✅ It also counts 1.8m download for its app (which enables users to book appointments) and plans to monetise it
✅ PatientSky bets that one unified solution can be built and therefore invested $ 38m in its PaaS solution

✅ Using apps proposed by third-parties on the PatientSky platform, developers and practitioners can build their own fully-integrated and customised solution
🚩 Users report that the PatientSky app is encountering bugs and doesn’t work, compromising PatientSky’s ability to monetise it

🚩 Market for healthcare CRM tools is fragmented and depends heavily on local regulations
🚩 PatientSky hasn’t yet fully commercialised its PaaS offering and might first focus on correcting its app’s issues

🔥 We stay on the sidelines for now and wait for PatientSky to show commercial progress with its PaaS platform

🔮 $SF.ST is on our watchlist 👉 Coming SOON 🔮

Kubernetes vs Serverless offerings

Why would you need Kubernetes when there are offerings like Vercel, Netlify, or AWS Lambda/Amplify that basically manage everything for you and offer even more?

Well, let's try to look at both approaches and draw our own conclusions!

🧵⏬

1️⃣ A quick look at Kubernetes

Kubernetes is a container orchestrator and thus needs containers to begin with. It's a paradigm shift to more traditional software development, where components are developed, and then deployed to bare metal machines or VMs.

There are additional steps now: Making sure your application is suited to be containerized (12-factor apps, I look at you:
https://t.co/nuH4dmpUmf), containerizing the application, following some pretty well-proven standards, and then pushing the image to a registry.

After all that, you need to write specs which instruct Kubernetes what the desired state of your application is, and finally let Kubernetes do its work. It's certainly not a NoOps platform, as you'll still need people knowing what they do and how to handle Kubernetes.



2️⃣ A quick look at (some!) serverless offerings

The offer is pretty simple: You write the code, the platform handles everything else for you. It's basically leaning far to the NoOps side. There is not much to manage anymore.

Take your Next.js / Nuxt.js app, point the ...

Viruses and other pathogens are often studied as stand-alone entities, despite that, in nature, they mostly live in multispecies associations called biofilms—both externally and within the host.

https://t.co/FBfXhUrH5d


Microorganisms in biofilms are enclosed by an extracellular matrix that confers protection and improves survival. Previous studies have shown that viruses can secondarily colonize preexisting biofilms, and viral biofilms have also been described.


...we raise the perspective that CoVs can persistently infect bats due to their association with biofilm structures. This phenomenon potentially provides an optimal environment for nonpathogenic & well-adapted viruses to interact with the host, as well as for viral recombination.


Biofilms can also enhance virion viability in extracellular environments, such as on fomites and in aquatic sediments, allowing viral persistence and dissemination.
