LIVITVital Monitoring Patch & IoT India Congress
Added a hardware vital monitoring patch to the ecosystem — enabling pharmacists to monitor patient vital behavior alongside prescription dose data. Presented at IoT India Congress 2018 in collaboration with Philips.
Vital Patch IoT India × PhilipsGlobal Marketing — 4 Countries, 7 Cities
Marketed the LIVIT concept internationally: Australia, Singapore, California, Düsseldorf, Berlin, Munich, Bangalore. Featured on Wearable Technologies. Despite global interest, US pharmacy adoption remained low and expensive — triggering the pivot to India.
4 Countries 7 Cities Wearable TechVera Smart Healthcare Launched
On July 24, 2019, Vera Smart Healthcare is born. After the expensive US pharmacy experience with LIVIT, India offered easier regulations for both government and private hospitals. Vera Smart Care was formed to build health profile proof-of-concepts at scale — an attempt to launch Fellow through Vera Smart Care in India, proving the software’s power to win major healthcare contracts. Designed and built 66+ mobile clinics equipped with state-of-the-art technology.

Mobile Dental R&D — Vera Medical Vehicles
Revenue-first pivot: learned the entire dental business from service delivery to insurance billing. Converted a fifth wheel into a dental mobile unit with 2 chairs and full front office under Vera Medical Vehicles. After 5 years of mobile healthcare expertise (iMASQ, Bzozo), dental offered the clearest path — direct insurance billing, predictable per-visit revenue, and a massive underserved senior population.
Vera Medical Vehicles Revenue-FirstALF Discovery — The Captive Audience
Explored the dental market and discovered nursing homes and Assisted Living Facilities (ALFs) as the ideal captive audience. First proof-of-concept at Crown Court, Citrus County. Then visited hundreds of ALFs across Florida to promote mobile dental. Unlike pharmacies, governments, and hospitals — ALFs wanted the service. Residents needed dental care, transportation was a barrier, and insurance paid directly.
ALF Market Crown Court POCStatewide Dental Services — Pensacola to Miami
Built services team and billing team under Vera Healthcare. Started active dental services at contracted ALFs. Expanded operations from Pensacola to Miami — 163 facilities tracked across 15 Florida counties, 61 with data collected, 94 remaining in pipeline. For the first time, a sustainable revenue model was running at scale.
163 Facilities 15 CountiesVera Assisted Living Facilities — 79 Beds, 2 Locations
Why just serve ALFs when you can own them? Entered contract to buy Crown Court for $4M via VSEVA LLC. Simultaneously purchased Pleasant Grove. Both in Inverness, Citrus County. Rebranded to Vera Assisted Living Facilities. 79 beds across 2 locations. Created 60–80 new jobs. Full vertical integration achieved: Vehicles + Services + Facilities + Software.
Vertical Integration 79 BedsLicensing, Operations & Investor Support
Role evolved from building to licensing and operating. Q1: getting licenses for Pleasant Grove while taking over complete operations of Crown Court. Managing staff, residents, compliance, inspections, and Medicaid paperwork across 79 beds. Q2: shifted into investor support mode — helping investors secure loans and arrange owner financing for facility acquisitions.
Licensing Investor SupportBuyer Transitions & Medicaid Delays
Q3: Helped the buyer close on Crown Court and secured licenses for Pleasant Grove — one facility transitioning out, one coming online in the same quarter. Q4: Medicaid billing and insurance contracts delayed. The same pattern from India (2020–2021 government contracts that never paid) appeared in Florida. Technology works, service works, patients are there — but payment infrastructure moves at its own pace.
Buyer Transition Medicaid DelaysOperating at 40% — Holding the Fort
Operating at 40% of projected income. Holding the fort for buyers while Medicaid contracts remain in limbo. The mobile dental fleet — ready to scale to 51 buses across 50 Florida counties — sits delayed. Ready: Services team, billing team, licensed facilities (79 beds), Fellow software. Expansion plans for MO, KS, NC, TX, GA. Blocked: One layer — billing infrastructure. Nine years, four countries, six companies — the hardest part of healthcare is getting paid.
