Description

Keep patients’ loved ones involved, from anywhere

The most effective in-patient care includes family participation, but that is nearly impossible when a patient’s loved ones can’t be there in person.
 
Breanna Hetland, PhD, RN, has developed a software application to ensure patients can stay connected with their families.
 
Remote-ICU invites patient’s and families to co-create a virtual patient profile, which is then visible to healthcare providers as well. In addition, Remote-ICU includes virtual hospital tours and patient-family direct communication.
 
The ICU tour component of the software application is currently in use at the University of Nebraska Medical Center, while the virtual patient profile is undergoing research trials.
