Company profile
researched Sep 2026Tellescope sells an all-in-one patient management platform for digital-first healthcare organizations. The product consolidates patient communication channels — HIPAA-compliant email, SMS, in-app chat, voice calling and video visits — into a single shared inbox with a timeline view of communications, form responses, notes and profile data, so care teams have full context for each interaction. Alongside communications, it offers customizable intake forms, patient self-scheduling, task management and assignment, file sharing, and a patient relationship management (CRM) layer for tracking outreach, onboarding and ongoing touchpoints across the patient journey.
Additional modules include a white-labeled patient portal for messaging, booking, forms and video visits; a drag-and-drop, no-code workflow builder that automates appointment lifecycle events, reminders, check-ins, outreach and task routing; and a white-label telemedicine offering. The platform is described as API-first, with developer tools and off-the-shelf integrations to customers' existing EHRs and other operational tools. Tellescope states that it is HIPAA compliant and holds AICPA SOC 2 certification, and that implementation typically takes four to six weeks. A mobile companion app that mirrors part of the web application is published on Google Play under the developer name Immuto, Inc.
Founding story
The founders went through the Techstars and UnitedHealthcare accelerator at the end of 2020 and interviewed hundreds of care team members and founders at digital health companies before building the product, concluding that existing options — repurposed sales CRMs, in-house builds and enterprise tools — left digital health teams with fragmented patient communication channels. Prior to Tellescope, the founders worked at companies including Apple, Vertex Pharmaceuticals and Ernst & Young.
Business model
Tellescope licenses its platform as software to digital health organizations. The company states it charges a small implementation fee and prices based on the number of users or patients, with some additional pass-through usage costs.
Subscription/seat- or patient-based software pricing, plus an implementation fee and pass-through usage costs for communication services.
Traction
The company reports over 150 digital health companies as customers and cites platform outcomes of a 25% increase in patient engagement and an 85% reduction in manual tasks. A customer testimonial from the COO of Flourish Collective, Inc. describes scaling 4x yearly, from one state and a dozen providers to hundreds of providers across multiple states. The Android companion app shows 50+ downloads.
Latest developments
The mobile companion app on Google Play was updated in March 2026 with minor bug fixes and additional display data, and the company continues publishing resource articles on patient engagement, scheduling software and starting a mental health business through September 2026.

Market position
Positions itself as purpose-built infrastructure for healthtech rather than a generic CRM or enterprise tool, contrasting its offering with repurposed sales CRMs, in-house builds and enterprise systems designed for large organizations. The company states that more than 150 digital health companies use the platform.
Consolidation of communications, intake, scheduling, CRM and telehealth in one HIPAA-compliant system; no-code automation that reduces or removes the need for dedicated engineering resources; white-labeled patient portal and telemedicine under the customer's brand; API-first architecture with EHR integrations; the company claims customers save roughly six months of product development time versus building in-house.
Technology
A cloud-based, HIPAA-compliant platform combining omnichannel patient messaging (email, SMS, chat, voice, video), forms and intake, scheduling, task management, file sharing and CRM records. A no-code drag-and-drop workflow builder lets non-technical staff configure automations for reminders, intake, follow-ups and task routing. The system is API-first, with developer resources for extending the platform and off-the-shelf EHR and third-party tool integrations. Security and compliance posture includes HIPAA and AICPA SOC 2.
Go-to-market
Direct sales led by demo requests from the company website, supported by segment-specific landing pages for startups and scaling digital health companies, published customer case studies, and a content/resources blog. Positioning emphasizes replacing multiple point vendors and reducing in-house engineering work, with launch timelines measured in weeks.
Digital health companies and virtual-care providers, ranging from early-stage clinics and startups launching a first telehealth offering to fast-growing multi-state organizations. Named or referenced users include Octave, Fella Health, Anise Health, The EDS Clinic and Flourish Collective, Inc., spanning direct-to-consumer telemedicine, virtual care and value-based care models.
Geography
United States. Locations associated with the company include Marlton/Evesham Township, New Jersey; Jersey City, New Jersey; and Boston and Cambridge, Massachusetts. The Google Play developer address is 344 Grove St, Jersey City, NJ 07302.
