CareView Communications, Inc. ("CareView" or the "Company") (OTCQB: CRVW), an information technology provider to the healthcare industry, today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2021.

“I am pleased to announce that our combined revenue for the first quarter 2021 under our sales-based and subscription-based revenue models totaled approximately $2.3 million as compared to $1.7 million for the first quarter of 2020. We find that we are implementing more sales-based contracts and believe this trend will likely continue throughout 2021,” said Steve Johnson, CareView’s President and Chief Executive Officer.

“We have seen a sharp increase in the use of telemedicine over the past year. I believe CareView will continue to find success with all types of hospitals, including VA hospitals and CLCs, as the need for our patient monitoring products used in telemedicine increase over time,” said Sandra McRee, CareView’s Chief Operating Officer.

First Quarter Review

Total net product revenue for the first quarter of 2021 increased $608,000, or 36%, compared to the first quarter of 2020, primarily due to an increase in sales of CareView’s new Gen5 equipment. When compared to the fourth quarter of 2020, total net product revenue increased by 54% for the first quarter of 2021. During the quarter ended March 31, 2021, the Company executed several new sales-based contracts with an aggregated contract sales price of approximately $940,000, in addition to the $1,800,000 contract executed in late 2020.
