AlayaCare Secures $33 Million (CDN) in Growth Funding
AlayaCare, which enables home healthcare providers to deliver best-in-class services and improve care outcomes, today announced that Inovia Capital, Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec (CDPQ) and Investissement Québec have invested $51-million, buying $33-million in new equity from AlayaCare plus $18-million of stock from early investors.
In the changing world of home healthcare, technology is the new constant. AlayaCare helps home and community care agencies manage all aspects of their business and operations using a single cloud-based SaaS platform. Through this unique platform, AlayaCare:
- Improves the patient experience by facilitating client-directed care planning and by offering tools such as real-time remote monitoring;
- Improves the caregiver experience through mobile tools that mean better preparedness for home visits and efficiency of task-management; and,
- Lowers costs for organizations by streamlining billing and communications, and limiting the need for expensive IT infrastructure.
“Home care is evolving at a frenetic pace, and the market is clearly shifting to a technology-enabled delivery model that expands the boundaries of care,” says AlayaCare CEO Adrian Schauer. “We are grateful that our capital partners, led by Inovia, share this vision and are propelling AlayaCare toward our ultimate goal: keeping millions of people well in the comfort of their homes.”

In many countries, in-person care can be supplemented with remote patient monitoring and virtual visits to support both clients and care workers efficiently. At the same time, the market is experiencing a shift toward integrated care, value-based reimbursement and the rising use of cloud-based software; a digital environment in which AlayaCare’s artificial intelligence and application program interfaces (APIs) can drive optimal health outcomes.
“We are pleased to help AlayaCare deliver on their mission to dramatically improve patient care and outcomes, through this new round of investment from the Inovia Capital Growth Fund,” said Dennis Kavelman, Inovia Capital General Partner. “We first invested in the team and their next-generation home healthcare software at the early stage, and after showing exceptional progress, we're excited to partner with them to quickly scaleup.”

This latest investment of growth capital will allow AlayaCare to focus on research and development to optimize its technology for the needs of any client. As legacy software solutions become outdated, the company is now poised to support even more customers through its market-leading cloud-based platform.
“AlayaCare brings significant quality-of-life improvements by enabling patients to receive health care at home. Home care solutions are especially adapted to elderly patients, who represent an increasing share of healthcare beneficiaries” said Charles Emond, Executive Vice-President and Head of Quebec Investments and Global Strategic Planning. “AlayaCare tech integration solutions save precious time for practitioners by automating clerical tasks. CDPQ is proud to embark on the next chapter of AlayaCare’s success story and contribute to one of the country’s leading health tech companies.”
