SAMSUNG INSIGHTS – Dr. Shemesh and his team created a program that provided tablet devices to patients and families who needed to keep in close contact with their medical teams at Mount Sinai. “Because we were sending devices to homes, we really needed them to work right out of the box,” he said. “After thousands of patient interactions, we’ve had only six help deck calls. It’s astounding.” Mount Sinai, Equiva and Samsung are at the forefront of this innovation, working on use cases that are completely new.

SAMSUNG INSIGHTS – Patients can now pick up a bedside tablet for access to medical records and answers to questions. Two years into the bedside tablet program, Mount Sinai has improved HCAHPS scores and decreased readmissions. “If we create a full ecosystem where the staff and the patients feel engaged with one another using technology as the platform, we can get to the next level.”

MCKNIGHT’S LONG-TERM CARE NEWS – Stating that “technology is crucial to skilled nursing facilities’ future,” The Allure Group President and COO Melissa Powell highlights the use of 1,400 bedside tablets for residents across six facilities — to provide entertainment, health resources and communication tools to virtually connect with family and friends. NOTE: Kudos to Melissa as a McKnight’s 2021 Women of Distinction honoree!

HEALTHCARE IT NEWS (HIMSSS MEDIA) – Early research shows success in using PadInMotion technology for telehealth engagement with vulnerable patients who avoid hospital-based clinic visits due to the pandemic. The project is led by Dr. Eyal Shemesh at Kravis Children’s Hospital and the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai using COVID-specific award funds from the FCC.

SAMSUNG INSIGHTS – Who’s going to customize the user experience on all those tablets, so it aligns with patient education objectives, and secure them to meet HIPAA standards? Who’s going to charge the bedside technology and wipe data between users? No one working in a hospital has time for that, especially not during a public health crisis. That’s where PadInMotion comes in.

MEDTECH INTELLIGENCE – Because many patients have deferred preventive care out of fear of infection from an in-person visit, innovative healthcare organizations and start-ups are taking a leap of faith and forging ahead with new ideas and technologies. Mount Sinai Kravis Children’s Hospital . . . will use a $860,000 grant from the Federal Communications Commission to expand its remote care services . . . through partnerships with PadInMotion and RealTime Clinic.

SAMSUNG INSIGHTS – Today’s digital healthcare solutions go beyond telemedicine and remote patient monitoring. In acute cases, solutions like PadInMotion streamline care coordination. On PadInMotion’s customized, secure tablets, primary physicians, infectious disease experts and other specialists can communicate through HIPAA-compliant videoconferencing . . . offering clinicians the workflow flexibility they need to properly care for growing patient populations.

THE ALLURE GROUP – Thankfully, every resident at The Allure Group’s facilities already has access to a Samsung tablet at their bedside installed with PadInMotion technology. While residents tended to use them for entertainment of stress relief before the pandemic, they now use them to conduct audio or video chats with their loved ones. The technology has been instrumental in helping seniors stay connected during these difficult times.

ROI-NJ – “Perhaps the tablet’s most valuable application is that it can be the window to the world for these patients. For many, the last time these patients are able to see family members was when they loaded them into the ambulance. These are heartbreaking conditions.” – Nir Altman, PadInMotion CEO

DREAMIT – PadInMotion is operating in coronavirus isolation rooms across New York City, where it is enabling multidisciplinary clinical teams to maintain a connection with patients in isolation, allows for language translation, connection to concerned loved ones who might otherwise be cut off from communication, empowers the patients to give feedback and make requests, and can help with mental wellness – an obvious concern for those placed in isolation.
