Ready Responders

Ready (formerly Ready Responders) is a technology-enabled healthcare service provider that delivers on-demand, in-home medical care to patients. The company utilizes a hybrid model where trained "Responders"—including EMTs, paramedics, and nurses—are dispatched to a patient's location to perform hands-on clinical tasks while connecting them to a remote doctor or nurse practitioner via a proprietary telehealth platform. Ready specifically targets underserved populations, such as Medicaid and dual-eligible beneficiaries, to provide an alternative to costly and often unnecessary emergency room visits. By addressing acute, chronic, and social health needs in the home setting, the company aims to improve patient outcomes and reduce overall healthcare costs. Ready has raised over $100 million from prominent investors like GV and Deerfield Management and operates across several major U.S. metropolitan areas.
