Hippo Virtual Care (HVC)
Hippo's flagship product, the Hippo Virtual Care™ (HVC) platform, was introduced to the market through more than 20 hospitals across China at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, in the cities of Wuhan, Suzhou, Kunshan, Guangzhou, and Xian. Following the success in Wuhan, Hippo completed subsequent program rollouts at RNZ Global in Nigeria and tier one institutions throughout the US. To date, HVC has been deployed on six continents, with significant operations in Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom.

Using HVC's hands-free, voice-activated devices and smart glasses, clinicians are able to communicate in real-time with remote colleagues, retrieve medical records, and automatically access files and imaging during patient examinations, procedures, consults and rounding. The platform has proven to improve clinical efficiency, allow faster triage, and enable smarter clinical decision making and enhanced engagement with patients.

HVC has since developed several modules to support the digital transformation of clinical workflows including a Telehealth Suite, Education and Nursing Suite, Home Health and Remote Monitoring Suite, and Care Team Collaboration Suite.

HVC is equipped with the AES256 encryption and, in addition to HIPAA and GDPR compliance, it supports FEDRAMP and is an Authority to Operate platform. Hippo Technologies is engaged in creating compliance passports for some of the complex organizations and governments.

Hippo Healthcare Institute for Virtual Education  (HIVE)
In October 2020, the company launched the Hippo HIVE, a knowledge forum and meeting place for members to distribute virtual care information through white papers, blogs, interviews, articles, and research. Developed to be an education epicenter, the purpose of the HIVE is to democratize healthcare and education, making access affordable and available to all.

In January 2021, Hippo partnered with EVERFI, Inc., the leading social impact education innovator, to provide members with comprehensive Wellness and Mental Health Programs focused on raising confidence and increasing knowledge around wellness and mental health, prescription drugs, and financial responsibility. The digital content library features more than 55 learning sequences including interactive videos, surveys, and scenario-based learning in a mobile-first design, and is available in both English and Spanish.

Hippo Global Health Initiative (HGHI)
In November 2020, Hippo and the Children of War Foundation (COWF) made history by deploying the first real-time HVC triage for children with time-sensitive medical conditions in isolated refugee encampments along the Syria-Jordan border. Coupled with the HVC platform, COWF's physicians utilize Hippo's hands-free mobility solutions to video conference live with colleagues and specialists around the world to aid their limited resources on the ground.

As a result of the partnership and the desire to expand these efforts to additional countries in need, Hippo launched the Hippo Global Health Initiative, an inclusive organization focused on providing services to low and middle income countries in need.

"Hippo is focused on delivering access to healthcare for all through technology and is committed to changing virtual care as we know it in a post-COVID world by delivering the full mobility solution which is required for technology adoption in the complex world of healthcare," said Hamilton. "We are extremely proud of what the team has been able to accomplish in such a short amount of time and look forward to continued growth in 2021."
