Innovative check in service Vitally being rolled out

Sansome Health, a world-class research organization and leading operator of health systems, today announced the initial roll-out of an ambitious project to cut down wait times and speed up access to patient’s vital signs. The new service, called Vitally, is a self-service kiosk situated directly beside the check-in counter in the hospital’s emergency room.

Designed to be functional and beautiful, while also providing the highest data quality and patient privacy, Vitally streamlines the check-in process by utilizing biosecurity techniques such as fingerprint and retina scanning.  The patient steps into the machine, an all-white freestanding pod, and is immediately scanned, which will check the patient into the hospital, update expected wait times, and access their medical history.  A blood pressure cuff records the blood pressure and a thermometer, with sterile covering, extends to allow the patient to register their temperature.  A full body scan is performed to accurately gather weight and height information.

The cutting-edge project is being led by a longtime leader in bio-mechanics and robotics.   Over four years of research and development has gone into this project.  Intially funded in part by a private grant from a leading non-profit organization dedicated to the advancement of healthcare services, Sansome Health continued to invest in the project after intial market testing showed a dramatic decrease of 32% in overall wait times as well as a 12% decrease in data input errors.

Vitally is currently available in Sansome’s flagship hospital located in California and will undergo six months of real-world application and testing.
