What if the most important health conditions could be caught early, right at your doctor’s office, without needing multiple appointments, specialists, or delays?
CarePlus by HealthOcta is a new kind of technology platform built to transform how and where preventative healthcare happens. By enabling diagnostic screenings at the point of primary care, CarePlus helps identify critical health risks earlier, improving outcomes for patients, reducing long-term costs for payers, and empowering providers with better tools.
What Is CarePlus?
CarePlus is a software-powered screening platform that equips primary care offices with the tools, training, and workflows to deliver preventative health screenings during routine checkups. Screenings are either automated through structured questionnaires or powered by onsite imaging devices whose results are reviewed remotely by specialists on the CarePlus network.
Our goal is simple but powerful: Bring preventative care to the frontline of medicine, the Primary Care Provider (PCP).
What Problems Does CarePlus Solve?
Preventative screenings are underutilized, despite their proven impact. Why?
- They often require referrals, separate appointments, or specialized clinics
- Many practices lack equipment or trained staff
- Follow-through is low: patients don’t always act on referrals
- Insurers bear the cost of avoidable disease progression
CarePlus solves this by:
- Embedding screenings into routine PCP workflows
- Providing devices and software directly to the clinic
- Training staff to capture the data without specialist supervision
- Enabling remote reviews by credentialed specialists
- Supporting proper documentation and payer reimbursement
Our First Solution: Diabetic Retinopathy Screening
We’re launching CarePlus with a major public health challenge in mind: diabetic retinopathy, the leading cause of blindness in working-age adults.
Why this matters:
- Over 38 million Americans are diabetic or prediabetic
- Eye exams are often skipped due to cost, time, logistics or simply the lack of proactive interest by a patient
- Retinopathy is preventable if caught early
How CarePlus Works:
- A smart fundoscope is provided to PCP clinics
- Medical assistants are trained to capture retinal images during the patient visit
- Images are uploaded securely and read by licensed ophthalmologists in the CarePlus network
- PCPs are notified of the results, and at-risk patients are referred
- Payers reimburse both the screening and reading
- Patients get better care, without extra effort or delays
What’s Next: Expanding the Scope of Preventative Screening
CarePlus is designed to be modular and extensible. Beyond retinopathy, we’re actively developing and validating new screening modules:
In Development:
- Mental Health Screenings
Using evidence-based questionnaires (PHQ-9, GAD-7, PCL-5), patients can be screened during visits with automated scoring and referral guidance. This is especially valuable as depression and anxiety go undetected in over 50% of primary care encounters. - Peripheral Artery Disease (ABI Testing)
Early detection can prevent major cardiovascular complications. - Chronic Kidney Disease Screening
With early indicators flagged via simple urinalysis or eGFR integration. - Cognitive Impairment / Dementia Screening
Tools for aging populations using structured assessments (e.g., MoCA). - Spirometry for COPD and Asthma Management
Lung function testing, simplified for use by PCP staff and reviewed remotely.
Our Vision
Preventative care should be:
- Accessible at the point of contact
- Affordable through payer-aligned workflows
- Actionable with structured follow-up
- Scalable across practices and populations
CarePlus brings all of that together, starting with real tools, in real clinics, solving real problems.
