For Retail Health Clinics
Your patients want to see you. Life keeps getting in the way.
Think of the mom who can't leave work for a 2:00 appointment. She needs care, and you want to give it. NestCara brings your clinic to her living room.
What we heard
Retail and convenient care leaders told us what keeps them up at night.4
Clinics are closing.
Between May 2023 and June 2026, retail health clinics in the U.S. fell from 1,750 to 1,166, a 33% drop. MinuteClinic went from 875 locations to 805.1
Keeping the schedule full is hard.
Retail health clinics have grown fast, with their own investors behind them. Their pain is keeping clinics full, and they are always looking for new ways to grow.2
Busy people miss visits.
Every missed appointment is a lost visit for you and a missed check for the patient.2
There are fewer doctors to go around.
The U.S. faces a shortage of up to 86,000 physicians by 2036.3
There's no way into the home.
Care moved from the hospital to the doctor's office to the retail health clinic. The next step is the home. Clinics want a connection to the customer there, but most don't have one yet.2
How NestCara helps
NestCara is the last mile of healthcare. It connects your clinic to the person at home.
- Your clinic, on the TV at homeFollow-ups and check-ins happen from the living room, without the drive or the time off work.
- Telemedicine on the big screenVideo visits on the TV people already know. A simple remote and their voice do the rest.
- Readings that come to youA blood pressure cuff, a scale and a blood oxygen meter can send readings on their own to the clinician who ordered them.
- A path back to your doorWhen someone needs to be seen in person, the connection at home points them back to your clinic.
- A process that already worksThe same heavy lift process built with home care agencies, home accessibility and mobility teams, and therapists comes with it: setup, training and support, one location at a time.
