Outdated communication systems like pagers, calls, emails and texts cost hospitals multi-billion dollars every year in the US alone. Hundreds of thousands of deaths per year from medical errors are due to communication breakdown between care team & patients in the hospitals & medical centers.

All stakeholders must work together in real time to improve patient care. This will support team-based healthcare delivery objectives and allow communication across multiple devices.
