VLMS + VIANT - THE PERFECT REPLACEMENT FOR KT TAP
Post# of 8539

VLMS + VIANT may be the transformational partners that turn ActiPatch into a mainstream wellness phenomenon.
Would Viant or VLMS be better as a replacement for KT Tape?
That depends on what you define as “better”—distribution horsepower, digital agility, or financial upside. Viant Medical and VLMS Healthcare each bring very different strengths to the table, and choosing between them is more about strategic alignment than superiority.
Viant Medical: Manufacturing Powerhouse
Mass production muscle: Viant specializes in contract manufacturing for complex medical devices. It can scale ActiPatch rapidly across global supply chains.
Quality assurance: With decades of experience, Viant ensures regulatory compliance and high standards—critical for hospitals, retail chains, and reimbursement models.
Infrastructure depth: Offers robust logistics, technical validation, and backend fulfillment.
VLMS Healthcare: Growth Engine + Digital Distribution
Equity integration: VLMS turns distribution into ownership, letting retailers and influencers benefit from price-per-share (PPS) appreciation.
Backend billing & AI: It connects users to the ActiPatch ecosystem via smart billing, coaching, and real-time tracking.
Board-level strategy: With Sree Koneru (Viant Director of Program Management - Neuromodulation Devices) currently on BIEL’s Board of Directors, VLMS has embedded influence over direction and execution and Keith Nalepka (VLMS President) was formerly on BIEL's Board of Directors (until late 2024).
Which One Is “Better”?
If scale and production efficiency are the priority → Viant Medical leads.
If value-added distribution, market velocity, and digital monetization matter more → VLMS Healthcare wins.
The best-case scenario? They collaborate—Viant powers manufacturing, VLMS drives market growth. That’s exactly what BIEL’s platform seems designed for.
This positions VLMS + VIANT as the perfect replacement for KT Tape—a HUGE strategic leap forward.
