Bethesda, MD (July 13, 2023)Get Well, the global leader in digital patient engagement, today announced eight new smart patient room projects to support new construction initiatives across the U.S. and globally. 

Building a new smart hospital or smart room in a hospital presents the opportunity to create market differentiation and grow market share. Leveraging GetWell InPatient, the company’s Smart Patient Room solution elevates the patient experience through consumer-grade self-service, improved communication and automated patient education, while streamlining in-room hardware and seamlessly connecting to other core IT systems including the EHR, RTLS, dietary, room controls, and cameras and microphones for virtual care. The result is a seamless patient, family and staff experience that empowers patients to self-serve and manage aspects of their hospital stay via their device of choice, while enabling clinical teams to engage in top-of-license care.

  • Children’s Hospital of Richmond at VCU

  • Children’s Hospital of Atlanta
  • UMass Memorial Health New Inpatient Building

Get Well has leveraged its Get Well Anywhere platform to expand its smart hospital suite to include digital white boards, dynamic room panels for clinicians, digital signage, cloud-based experience management and a new mobile ED experience. 

“Smart hospital projects always include a set of new challenges and innovations that keep our engineers motivated and happy,” said Robin Cavanaugh, Chief Technology Officer at Get Well. “Virtual care enablement and on demand translation services have been recent pushes along with mobile and two-way texting.
