Three Apps in One Place

When implementing technology into your practice, it is essential to use a resource that provides the most functionality in one solution. Our patient digital whiteboards come prepared with three applications — The caregiver app, patient app, and family and friend’s app — all of which will enhance communication across various parties.

Caregiver App

The caregiver application is suited for staff as it allows them to communicate directly with patients and peers over important information. Some excellent features include:

  • The ability to update patient information in real-time 
  • Allows communication between staff members all in one place 
  • Provides access to set reminders and requests while displaying alerts to those involved 
  • Lets staff choose what information the patient can see within their patient app 

Patient App

As it pertains to their health and wellness, hospital patients and their families must stay updated at all times. The patient app is here to do just that, as it is a hub that keeps the patient involved throughout their stay. Within the app, patients can see their care plan and select which family and friends have access to the information as well. Information shared includes patient care plans, diagnoses, medication, and more.

Family and Friend’s App

As a hospital, your main focus should always be on the health and wellness of your patient. That said, it is important to provide family and friends access to updates on their loved ones, as it can be worrisome to have someone in the hands of medical care. The family and friend’s app within our digital whiteboards keeps loved ones connected with the patient’s stay, as it provides information like care plans, diagnosis, assigned care team, and more. Best of all, this app gives patients direct communication with friends and family via video chat, helping brighten their spirits during their stay. 

Although patients receive the utmost care when staying in your hospital, it is important to go the extra mile by providing them with the tools they need to enhance their experience. Symtech Solutions provides the digital tools your facility needs to succeed, as our digital whiteboards can be incorporated in a multitude of ways.
