Porter Enters Home Health Technology Scene

MIAMI, (April 28, 2022)—Porter (based in Miami, Florida) announces the launch of its website and the emergence from operating the company from the early stages in stealth mode. 

Porter is a health care technology platform, augmented by human connection, that connects members with what they need to manage at home during an illness or injury. A disruptor to the industry and groundbreaking to payers, providers and employers, Porter’s “Healthsphere” is a complete vertical of services and solutions guiding members and caregivers to navigable content, a curated marketplace of services and products, coverage information and a supportive online health community.

John Criswell, founder and CEO of Porter, who recently sold his previous venture, Pulse8, to Allscripts said, “We are tremendously proud of the work we’ve done at Porter prior to this important website launch.” 

The website now features Porter’s unique value propositions and how the Healthsphere works for members and stakeholders. 

“Soon,” said Criswell, “Porter will introduce the Healthsphere to the everyday consumer, allowing them to easily navigate the transition to care-at-home.”

After suffering a pelvic fracture in a cycling incident, Criswell discovered how fragmented the care-at-home journey was and that it needed serious improvements. He witnessed how patients were leaving care settings with minimal guidance on the next steps in their care journey. So, he set out to “simplify and ease the care journey for everyone!”

With a huge, ripe for reinvention digital health market opportunity, Porter’s technology platform guides patients and caregivers to make informed, personalized health decisions based on their own speed, quality and cost desires. Porter empowers members and providers to easily find quality services and products, reliable suppliers, and vetted partners. Porter’s Care Guides help navigate the benefits of the Healthsphere to members needing one-on-one assistance. By arming caregivers and members with information and connection, Porter allows them to never lift a finger across the care continuum.

Porter will be at 29th Annual National Case Management and Transitions of Care Conference & 23rd Annual ACMA Meeting in Dallas, Texas between May 1-4, 2022.
