Raintree Systems has made a strategic move by acquiring Yoomi Health, a New York-based leader in AI technologies tailored for rehab therapy. This acquisition strengthens Raintree’s AI Center of Excellence and sharpens its focus on becoming the go-to electronic medical record (EMR) platform for therapy practices.
Why This Matters
Rehab therapy is an industry under pressure, grappling with shrinking reimbursements and high staff turnover. By incorporating Yoomi Health’s innovative AI technology, Raintree plans to tackle these challenges head-on. The integration promises to simplify workflows, cut down manual tasks, and offer tools that directly benefit clinicians, patients, and billing teams.
What This Means for Raintree
Nick Hedges, CEO of Raintree, shared his enthusiasm for the deal, citing Yoomi’s advanced capabilities as a significant edge. “Our goal is to lead the pack in therapy-specific AI tools. Bringing the Yoomi team onboard allows us to do just that,” Hedges stated.
This move follows Raintree’s recent overhaul of its data infrastructure, a step that positions the company to fully leverage Yoomi’s AI-driven solutions. The goal is clear: a seamless, all-in-one system that reduces costs per activity for rehab therapy practices.
Yoomi’s Take on the Partnership
Ben Catania, CEO of Yoomi, expressed confidence in the collaboration. “AI is reshaping how we work, and Raintree shares our belief that these tools should make life easier for everyone involved in rehab therapy. Together, we’re redefining what an EMR can do.”
What’s Next?
Raintree is also making it clear that it values choice. While it plans to deeply embed AI into its platform, it will continue to support existing partnerships with standalone AI vendors. Sarina Richard, Raintree’s Chief Strategy Officer, emphasized this balance: “We know our clients appreciate flexibility. Keeping those options open is just as important as building something better.”
This acquisition isn’t just about technology; it’s about future-proofing rehab therapy practices. With smarter, more integrated tools, Raintree aims to create solutions that adapt as the industry evolves, helping practices stay ahead of the curve.
