The Virtual Patient Monitoring and Engagement System safeguards caregivers and reduces fatigue by virtually augmenting physical rounds of patients.

Systems are preconfigured for installation in less than 30 minutes per room by an IT staff member or local integrator. Rental prices start at $195 per room.
Post pandemically, the System with 15 minutes of system administrative effort is repurposed for monitoring and engaging "at-risk" patients. They include post-op, fall prone, and those suffering from mild cognitive impairment and delirium.
The Virtual Patient Monitoring and Engagement System is HIPAA compliant, runs on desktop computers and notebooks, and supports tablets and smartphones. Patients are identified by room and bed number. No video is recorded and is displayed only to authenticated users, which is under administrative control.
During the pandemic, virtual patient care has risen as a tool to offset virus spread. Within "A Digital Embrace to Blunt the Curve of COVID19 Pandemic," Dr. Lee Schwamm, Executive Vice-Chair, Massachusetts General Hospital, recently noted, "Virtual care collapses the barriers of time and distance, it is ideal for providing care that is patient-centered, lower cost, more convenient and at greater productivity. All these factors make virtual care tools indispensable elements in the COVID19 response."
