Company profile
researched Sep 2026HealthHive, PBC operates a SaaS platform built around the "Hive": a shared digital space created for a patient into which family members, informal caregivers and providers are invited. Hives bring together health records, care plans, social information, resources, documents and communication so that everyone involved in a patient's care can reach the information they need. Hives can be generated from data in a provider's EHR or entered manually; care activities are then assigned individually or through workflow triggers using templates, and Hive members receive notifications, complete activities and submit feedback through the HealthHive app.
The product line comprises four modules. Hive Patient Portal supports compliant, selective record sharing from an EHR to patients and families, automates routine tasks such as distributing community services and education materials, and leaves families with a permanent HIPAA-secure place to store medical and legal documents after an episode of care ends. Hive Care extends provider reach between visits with virtual care activities, education and training resources, feedback gathering and intelligent vital alerts. Hive Transition guides patients and families through recovery with shared virtual care activities, vital alerts and a resource and education center. Hive Hub keeps families informed with shared care activities, helper check-ins and between-visit instructions for family caregivers. Additional operational tools include digital check-in/check-out for home care staff, phone and care checklists, and team-based assignment logic intended to keep care consistent across changing caregivers.
The company describes itself as a Public Benefit Corporation whose aim is to make the healthcare system function as a system by enabling providers and advocates to engage families consistently from facility to facility without changing existing provider workflows. It positions the informal, unpaid caregiver network as an underused healthcare asset and frames its platform as infrastructure for educating and coordinating that network, producing a longitudinal, data-rich view of the resident and those caring for them for individuals, caregivers, providers and payors.
Founding story
Founder and CEO Stephen Farber worked as a lawyer and investment banker before leaving his job to care for his mother when she developed pancreatic cancer; that caregiving experience redirected his focus to problems in care management. He had previously founded, built and sold a SaaS clinical workflow company and serves as a Board Member of the American Society on Aging. The company describes its team as builders who have counted themselves among the 35 million caregivers coordinating care for the 50 million older adults they love.
Business model
HealthHive sells a SaaS platform to healthcare provider organizations, which deploy Hives for their patients and families. Modules are optional and configurable, allowing a provider to adopt only selected capabilities such as family visibility into specific care elements, a digital check-in/check-out system for staff, or family-wide communication. The platform is designed to integrate with providers' existing systems and EHRs and to feed caregiver and family feedback back into those systems. The company is organized as a Public Benefit Corporation and is listed as a PointClickCare Marketplace Partner.
The sources describe a SaaS framework sold to provider organizations with selectable modules; specific pricing terms are not stated.

Market position
HealthHive is a startup in the AgeTech and caregiving-technology segment, participating in the Techstars Future of Longevity Accelerator backed by Melinda French Gates' Pivotal Ventures, whose 2021 cohort peers included companies addressing care for aging adults and caregiver well-being. It is a member of AARP's AgeTech Collaborative startup network. The company frames the U.S. healthcare system's fragmentation as creating a broad addressable set of care environments and players.
The company emphasizes engaging families across organizational boundaries without requiring providers to change existing workflows or add staff effort, selective and configurable adoption of individual modules, integration of family and caregiver feedback back into provider systems, and persistence of the Hive for the patient and family after a provider's episode of care ends.
Technology

The platform is available via iOS and Android apps and a web browser, with a separate Hive Portal for managing groups of Hives.
