Redefining Remote Care: No IT. No Overhead. No Excuses.
Until the COVID-19 pandemic, virtual care was underused and underdeveloped. Then, in the first three months of the pandemic alone, virtual visits surged 766%. But many of those solutions were stitched together in haste – introducing complexity, IT headaches, and poor clinical fit.
Hippo was built differently. From day one, our platform was designed to be clinician-led, simple to deploy, and sustainable across real-world care settings. We designed it around three core principles.
1. Easy to Set Up
You can be up and running with Hippo in less than a day. There’s no need for system integration or IT infrastructure. The platform works out of the box, enabling teams to deliver virtual care at the point of need – with minimal disruption and zero capital projects. With Hippo, you don’t have to integrate with anybody. You can start tomorrow and adapt it to fit your needs and workflow. According to Tom Fee, VP of Hippo North America, “We’re not asking people to throw away their systems – we’re just adding something that works right now, with what you already have.”
2. Easy to Use
Whether you’re a community health worker, MA, or RN, Hippo’s Clinician Extender™ model allows local caregivers to become the eyes and ears of a remote specialist – without learning a whole new system. It’s simple, intuitive, and effective. Training typically takes less than an hour.

3. Easy to Walk Away
Hippo is low-risk and low-regret. There are no long contracts, expensive integrations, or sunk costs. If it’s not a fit, you can step back with minimal disruption – unlike most platforms that require months of planning and capital expenditure. And at less than $10 per day per use case, it delivers exceptional value – it’s a smart investment with immediate returns.
“You learn quickly. And if it doesn’t work for you, walk away with little lost. That’s a huge contrast to traditional virtual care systems.”
Designed by Clinicians, for Clinicians
Most virtual care platforms were built for hospitals – not with frontline providers in mind. Hippo was co-designed by experienced physicians and healthcare leaders to be a flexible, clinician-first solution that fits the workflow rather than disrupting it.
Whether you’re in a rural clinic, urban hospital, home health setting, or ambulance – Hippo works. It’s currently being piloted in more than 50 locations globally, with proven results:
- 30% productivity improvement for specialists
- Up to $10M in annual savings for 200-bed hospitals
- $500-800K annual profit per physician in post-acute care settings

And Nobody Else is Doing it This Way
No other platform offers Hippo’s blend of affordability, flexibility, and speed. It’s not just a product – it’s an on-ramp to modern care delivery. Hippo helps teams develop virtual care expertise now, so they’re ready when it matters most.
“If you wait to learn virtual care until you need it, it's already too late. Hippo lets you experiment, iterate, and build organizational muscle now.”
