When an ActiPatch Price Increase Could Make Sense
Enhanced Functionality
If ActiPatch becomes a smart device with Bluetooth, sensors, and app integration via Viant, it transforms from a passive OTC item into a premium digital therapeutic. That warrants a higher price point.
Bundled Ecosystem Value
In co-branded recovery kits with Journavx, or MSK bundles on Hinge Health’s platform, ActiPatch isn't sold as a standalone — it's part of a bundled care pathway. A price increase here could be justified if it drives better reimbursement or improves health outcomes.
Perceived Clinical Value
Aligning ActiPatch’s pricing with clinical-grade devices could boost its legitimacy in hospital and payer environments — especially with VLMS handling reimbursement pathways.
Profit Margin Optimization for Partners
A modest increase could enable better profit-sharing across the alliance, particularly if retailers and influencers (via VLMS’s equity-driven model) are incentivized for adoption.
Strategic Play?
A smart move might be to tier pricing:
Base ActiPatch OTC stays affordable.
Connected ActiPatch+ (Bluetooth-enabled, app-driven) becomes a premium product, launched through hospitals, employer platforms (HNGE), and care bundles.
