ResMed currently has software-as-a-service products in home medical equipment, home health and hospice, which it said is delivered through Brightree and HEALTHCAREfirst.

“The acquisition of MatrixCare is an excellent addition to the out-of-hospital software portfolio that we can offer our healthcare provider customers,” said ResMed CEO Mick Farrell.

ResMed will fund the acquisition primarily with its credit facility. MatrixCare is expected to have net revenue of $122 million in calendar year 2018, with a pro forma EBITDA of approximately $30 million, the company said.

The deal is expected to close by the second quarter of fiscal year 2019.

MatrixCare will continue to operate as a standalone business within ResMed’s SaaS portfolio, with no immediate changes to management, locations or business. MatrixCare CEO John Damgaard will continue in his current role, reporting to ResMed SaaS President Raj Sodhi.

“By establishing a technology footprint across these major care settings, ResMed will drive an integrated ecosystem of solutions, such as maintaining single-patient records across multiple care settings, generating analytics and insights that can be applied to individuals and whole populations, and streamlining processes for healthcare providers across the care continuum,” Sodhi said.
