Intermountain Healthcare successfully deploys
over 1,200 units in nearly 50 locations, transforming hospital room
TVs into telehealth endpoints that support the full continuum of
care
Amwell®, (NYSE: AMWL) a national telehealth leader, today
announced the continued expansion of its platform with the release
of the Hospital TV 100. Designed to further expand integrated
telehealth connectivity via the Amwell platform, the new Carepoint™
device enables hospitals to turn existing televisions into
telehealth endpoints, allowing them to scale and simplify access to
their telehealth infrastructure by using devices that already exist
in patient rooms.
“We believe telehealth has a powerful role to play in the
democratization of healthcare, and in working towards this goal, we
are building out our platform to enable the convergence of
healthcare experiences across care settings, making it easier for
those on the frontlines to see their patients,” said Ido
Schoenberg, co-CEO and Chairman, Amwell. “This new Carepoint device
demonstrates our mission to connect and enable the key players
across the healthcare ecosystem to improve clinical and financial
outcomes. Streamlined, integrated connectivity between patients and
informed, trusted providers is central to realizing this goal.”
The Hospital TV 100 brings providers directly into a hospital
room. As health systems grapple with strained resources and the
COVID-19 pandemic, the new Carepoint device helps providers to
safely monitor patients, while hospitals can use their existing
in-room TV investments to scale telemedicine across their entire
system. Patients also benefit from connecting with entire care
teams across a wide range of specialties, without needing to leave
their room or have a care team member present to facilitate.
“Being able to turn our existing televisions into telehealth
devices has made it easier for our care teams to see their
patients,” said Brian Wayling, Assistant Vice President of
Telehealth Services, Intermountain Healthcare. “At Intermountain,
we now have over 1,200 Amwell TV Carepoint devices installed in
almost 50 locations. The in-room smart TV and networking enable
clinical teams across more than 30 specialties to provide remote
care 24/7 in collaboration with the local team, and to interact
with patients, family members, and caregivers right in the
patient’s room—no matter the access concerns and without any extra
effort.”
“Intermountain is a world class digital health leader. We are
inspired by their and other providers heroic and courageous work.
It is a privilege to bring to market a solution that makes it safer
and easier for them to deliver care,” continued Schoenberg.
The Hospital TV 100 is available now, from Amwell. For more
