CareApps: How Device Apps Support Patients  – and Your Staff

CareApps give you flexibility and opportunities for a better quality of care. It seems like every consumer marketplace has an app nowadays for anything you could want to do. As the demand for technology continues to grow, the availability of apps for handheld tablets, phones and laptops has become ubiquitous. Healthcare is no exception. As patients bring in more personal, handheld devices, they expect more flexibility with apps they can use during their hospitalization. There are telemedicine apps, wellness check apps, vital statistics apps, blood sugar apps – not to mention the social and entertainment apps a patient might choose to use during their stay – and the list goes on.

Innovation from the Start

HCI has always stood at the forefront of healthcare innovation. HCI introduced the first universal pillow speaker control and the first integrated patient TV media player. HCI was the first television manufacturer to bring Android TV to the healthcare market and we are disrupting the market with our Interactive Digital Whiteboards. We love challenges and rise to meet them. Interactive Module apps, including a COVID-19 patient status app, Telemedicine, Family and Friends videoconferencing and Image Viewer, which allows providers to pull patient scans directly from a patient’s EHR or PACS record, are just some of the innovative tools HCI offers healthcare providers to transform the way they deliver care.

CareApps

HCI, careapps, patient apps, hospital apps, patient engagement, patient entertainment, patient educationWe developed patient and Care Team apps that run on the AndroidTM operating system to fit with the use of Android devices in healthcare facilities, which have transformed many aspects of clinical practice. We call them Care Apps and they can provide a flexible and future-proof platform to entertain, educate and inform patients, visitors and staff like never before. Our goal is to take each patient experience to the next level with consistency of care and choices for entertainment and service. With CareApps, IT departments can remotely connect, monitor, and control HCI devices. Working in tandem with HCI interactive TVs and Digital Whiteboards, you can offer patients a range of opportunities for connection and offer staff a smoother workflow.
