I like all of this except the T/O part which while it could happen....is a long way off imho.
As for "owning" the app....there is no need on anyone's part to own the app. The ResappDX API's can be built into anything from a website to a vanilla or white label app. The back-end control and data collected can stay with RAP as far as that is concerned. The provider will have access to the data....but will not collect it.
The smaller telehealth companies would not want to have to set up cloud infrastructure in order to use the app. The better chance is for RAP to own that part and then they license out the app based part and use the data collected to improve the application and include that in online upgrades etc. Having RAP tech spread across providers makes little sense and provides no chance for RAP to have more and more data to help in improving the app.
There may be hurdles here in that scenario such as privacy rules and patient data rules across different countries etc....that would have to be worked out of course but cloud data is common these days and the rules are in place.
I would love to have a discussion with TK about the infrastructure set up because its my area actually. Having a single RAP back end is the best case scenario from a management side of things for example.
Telehealth provider 1 signs a contract and RAP set them up with the app and data centre back end. All secure and high availability.
or
Telehealth provider 2 signs a contract and owns it all. They set up the back end and house it cheaply to save money. 6 months later said provider is hacked and patient data is leaked to the public. Big Issue!!! and get who gets a bad rap...sorry for the pun...but yes its all RAP's fault....blah blah.
I know which scenario I would rather have. Keep control and be aware of the clients requirements and meet them. Simple. Any provider who can't live with that can go jump.

From what I remember the algorithms will be on RAP's servers. Only for field testing (as there might not be any internet connectivity) will the algorithm be in the app itself. The other incentive for them to have that data sent to their servers is also for gaining more and more cough data so they can further improve the AI.
