THE PARTIES
|
ACQUIRER AngelEye Health Nashville,
TN-based digital health company focused on neonatal and pediatric care
technology. Provides NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit) and pediatric family
communication and monitoring solutions. Products include live video streaming
for NICU parents, family engagement platforms, and clinical workflow tools
used in hospitals across the United States and internationally. Backed by
growth equity investors; has been executing a strategic build-out of its
pediatric digital care platform through acquisition and organic growth. |
TARGET SupportSpot (from Child
Life On Call) Digital
platform dedicated to child life-informed psychosocial support and procedural
preparation resources for pediatric patients and their families. Built by
Child Life On Call (CLOC), a digital health company co-founded by certified
child life specialists. SupportSpot provides hospital-ready digital tools for
anxiety reduction, procedural preparation, and emotional support for children
undergoing medical procedures — filling a gap that traditional child life
staffing models cannot always cover due to resource constraints. |
DEAL OVERVIEW
AngelEye Health
acquired the SupportSpot platform from Child Life On Call in a transaction
whose financial terms were not disclosed. The acquisition was completed in
March 2026. Following close, AngelEye integrates SupportSpot's child
life-informed digital resources into its broader pediatric hospital platform,
enabling hospitals to offer psychosocial support alongside AngelEye's existing
NICU monitoring and family engagement tools.
For Child Life On
Call, the divestiture of SupportSpot allows the company to focus on its core
CLOC platform and child life specialist community, while ensuring that the
SupportSpot technology continues to develop and scale within a well-capitalized
healthcare technology company with existing hospital relationships.
"The addition of SupportSpot deepens our commitment to
family-centered care across the entire pediatric care continuum — from the NICU
to the pediatric ward. Every child deserves emotional support as part of their
healing."

MARKET CONTEXT
Child life
specialists — certified healthcare professionals trained in child development
and psychosocial support — are a standard feature of pediatric hospitals in the
United States. However, coverage is constrained by staffing costs and
availability, particularly during nights, weekends, and high-census periods.
Digital platforms like SupportSpot expand access to child life-informed
resources beyond what physical staffing can provide, addressing a
well-documented gap in pediatric care delivery.
The acquisition
reflects a broader consolidation trend in pediatric digital health: hospital
systems and their technology partners are increasingly recognizing that
pediatric care requires specialized, developmentally-informed digital solutions
rather than adult-care tools adapted for children. AngelEye's NICU platform
already serves a large base of U.S. children's hospitals; SupportSpot extends
that relationship into new clinical areas.
ADVISORS
No financial
advisors were disclosed for either party. Given the niche segment and
privately-held status of both companies, the deal was likely structured
directly between the parties.
