PatientCompanion revolutionizes patient-nurse communication with an intuitive app that allows patients to articulate their needs clearly using icons, words, or voice-to-text functionality. Nurses receive prioritized alerts on their devices, enabling them to manage and respond to patient needs efficiently, while non-critical tasks are delegated to support staff, reducing nurse workloads. Successfully piloted in community hospitals, PatientCompanion integrates seamlessly into existing workflows, enhancing care quality, improving nurse retention, and maintaining privacy compliance.
