Protera Health lowers musculoskeletal (MSK) costs of care through a physician-led, virtual, multidisciplinary clinic. Because of this infrastructure, care can be delivered through in-network contracting, which is extremely advantageous to health plans, healthcare organizations, and provider groups. Protera Health was founded as a joint venture with Henry Ford Health in Detroit, MI, and is based on over a decade of clinical transformation in orthopedics and rehabilitation. Care is delivered through an integrated practice unit (IPU) approach, which is a cutting-edge delivery model that individualizes multidisciplinary care around patient reported outcome measures (PROMs). The founders of the company are national experts in value-based MSK care, PROMs, and managed care.

Twistle offers a healthcare communications platform with built-in automated workflows for improved efficiency and patient outcomes. Its platform reduces morbidity and readmission by closely monitoring care paths and engaging the care team only when necessary.

Twistle is a health care platform that helps healthcare providers connect with patients, keeping them on track for faster recovery. Its ''Care Plan Automation''​ platform helps clinical teams streamline care pathways by automating follow-up and surveillance. Its mobile health tool connects providers and patients through secure automated messaging, photo/lab sharing, surveys, smart device/EHR integration, and more. The company was founded in 2011 and is headquartered in Seattle, Washington.

Protera Health has three core advantages over existing digital MSK solutions on the market:

1) Ability to deliver in-network care through claims/medical expenses via our virtual clinic model (competitors are vendor solutions that do not deliver clinical care nor are able to contract with health insurance)

2) Individualized treatment according to patient reported outcome measures (PROMs), which are robust quality measures for physical function, pain coping, and mental health. We are the only soluton on the market that centers care - and monitors outcomes - by these metrics. 

3) Platform to in-person care, designed to minimize leakage. Protera works with partner health systems to customize the program to include the system's preferred in-person services, such as physical therapy and specialty care.
