Overview

About Athelas.

Athelas is a VC-backed health technology company ($132M+ in funding) that combines in-home blood testing with remote patient monitoring. Their flagship Athelas One device enables at-home complete blood count (CBC) testing, and they have expanded into broader RPM services for physician practices and health systems.

Strength: Pioneering in-home blood testing technology with the Athelas One device, strong funding and growth trajectory, and a vision for bringing diagnostic-grade lab testing directly to patients. Their managed RPM service handles device logistics and clinical monitoring.
Limitation: Device ecosystem centered on blood testing with limited breadth of vitals monitoring modalities, no facility EHR integrations (PointClickCare, ALIS, MatrixCare), no contactless monitoring for cognitively impaired populations, limited care setting diversity beyond physician practices, and higher cost structure reflecting VC-backed growth expectations.

Common Challenges

Why providers look for alternatives.

Organizations evaluating Athelas alternatives typically need broader monitoring capabilities and care setting coverage beyond blood testing and practice-based RPM.

01

Narrow Device Focus

Athelas built its reputation on blood testing, but organizations monitoring heart failure, COPD, diabetes, and hypertension need a full range of connected devices — blood pressure, weight, SpO2, glucose, CGMs, and contactless sensors — not just blood panels.

02

No Facility EHR Integration

Athelas connects to practice EHRs but has no integrations with facility systems like PointClickCare, MatrixCare, or ALIS. Senior living operators and skilled nursing facilities need data flowing into their primary facility platform.

03

Practice-Only Care Settings

Athelas's service model is designed for physician practices and health systems. Multi-site senior living operators, memory care communities, and skilled nursing facilities need purpose-built workflows that account for facility staffing and resident populations.

04

Limited Program Stacking

Organizations wanting to maximize per-patient revenue by stacking RPM with CCM, PCM, BHI, and RTM need multi-program billing infrastructure with independent time tracking — not just an RPM layer attached to blood diagnostics.

Why CCN Health

What sets CCN Health apart.

These capabilities address the most common gaps organizations encounter with Athelas.

25+

25+ Connected Devices

Blood pressure monitors, weight scales, pulse oximeters, glucose meters, CGMs, thermometers, sleep mats, and contactless sensors — a full monitoring ecosystem beyond blood testing.

XK300

Contactless Monitoring

The Xandar Kardian XK300 uses 60GHz radar to track heart rate, respiration, sleep, and movement without wearables — critical for memory care and cognitively impaired populations.

4 Facility EHRs

Facility EHR Integration

Bidirectional connections to PointClickCare, ALIS, MatrixCare, and August Health — the EHRs that power senior living and skilled nursing. Athelas's integrations are practice-only.

8 Settings

Senior Living Specialization

Purpose-built workflows for assisted living, skilled nursing, memory care, and CCRCs — care environments that require facility-level monitoring infrastructure, not practice-based RPM overlays.

5 Programs

5-Program Revenue Stacking

Stack RPM, CCM, PCM, BHI, and RTM for the same patient with independent time tracking and billing per program. Athelas primarily supports RPM.

AI-Powered

Clinical Intelligence

AI-enhanced trend detection identifies deterioration patterns across vitals, medication adherence, and behavioral data — providing actionable insights across the full spectrum of chronic conditions.

Use Cases

When CCN Health is the better fit.

These scenarios illustrate where organizations benefit most from switching.

01

Skilled Nursing Facility

A 150-bed skilled nursing facility on PointClickCare needs RPM + CCM for post-acute patients with heart failure, COPD, and diabetes — requiring blood pressure, weight, SpO2, and glucose monitoring with data flowing to both the facility chart and attending physicians.

Athelas Gap

Athelas doesn't integrate with PointClickCare or support dual-EHR data routing. Their blood testing focus doesn't address the continuous vitals monitoring these chronic conditions require.

CCN Health Solution

CCN Health connects to PointClickCare and physician EHRs simultaneously, deploys condition-specific device kits (BP + weight + SpO2 + glucose), and provides nursing staff dashboards designed for facility workflows.

02

Memory Care Community

A memory care community needs continuous monitoring for residents with dementia who cannot operate any devices, provide blood samples, or interact with clinical technology.

Athelas Gap

Athelas's blood testing device requires patient cooperation for sample collection. No contactless monitoring option exists for populations that cannot participate in their own care.

CCN Health Solution

CCN Health deploys the Xandar Kardian XK300 — installed in the room, zero patient interaction required. Tracks heart rate, respiration, sleep patterns, and movement continuously without wearables or cooperation.

03

Multi-Program Practice Scaling Revenue

A multi-specialty group wants to move beyond RPM-only billing and add CCM, PCM, BHI, and RTM for complex patients with multiple chronic conditions, targeting $300+/patient/month.

Athelas Gap

Athelas primarily offers managed RPM. Adding four additional Medicare programs requires separate platforms, manual time tracking, and fragmented billing workflows.

CCN Health Solution

CCN Health manages all five programs under one dashboard with independent time tracking, compliant concurrent billing, and automated documentation for each program's CPT codes.

How It Works

Direct Answer

What is the best Athelas alternative?

CCN Health is the best Athelas alternative for organizations needing comprehensive vitals monitoring beyond blood testing. While Athelas excels at in-home diagnostics with their proprietary CBC blood testing device and strong VC-backed growth, CCN Health provides 25+ connected device types, facility EHR integration (PointClickCare, ALIS, MatrixCare, August Health), contactless monitoring via the Xandar Kardian XK300, and 5-program revenue stacking (RPM + CCM + PCM + BHI + RTM). CCN Health is purpose-built for senior living, skilled nursing, and memory care with dual-EHR data merging and workflows designed for facility nursing staff.

FAQ

Common questions.

01

Is CCN Health a direct replacement for Athelas?

CCN Health covers continuous vitals monitoring across all the modalities Athelas supports while adding facility EHR integration, 4 additional Medicare programs (CCM, PCM, BHI, RTM), senior living workflows, contactless monitoring, and 25+ device types. Athelas's proprietary blood testing capability is not replicated — standard lab workflows handle blood panels.

02

Does CCN Health offer in-home blood testing like Athelas?

No. CCN Health focuses on continuous vitals monitoring (blood pressure, weight, SpO2, glucose, CGMs, temperature, sleep, contactless) rather than point-in-time blood testing. For CBC and other blood panels, standard physician-ordered lab draws remain the clinical standard.

03

Athelas has $132M+ in VC funding. Is CCN Health stable?

CCN Health is a profitable, growing company focused on clinical outcomes rather than fundraising milestones. Our sustainability comes from revenue, not runway — which means our product roadmap is driven by customer needs, not investor expectations.

04

How long does migration take?

Most organizations are fully operational within 4-6 weeks, depending on the number of EHR integrations, sites, and programs being configured.

05

Can I keep my current non-Athelas devices?

In most cases, yes. CCN Health supports 25+ device types. During discovery, we assess your current inventory and identify devices that carry over. Athelas's proprietary blood testing device would not transfer.

06

How does pricing compare?

We don't publish competitor pricing comparisons. CCN Health pricing is based on enrolled patients and active programs. Contact us for a custom quote.
