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

Rental prices start at $195 per room.

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."
