As part of the collaboration, GetWellNetwork’s technology for patient engagement, patient education, and operational improvement capabilities will be integrated with Samsung healthcare-grade smart HTVs.

The GetWellNetwork platform solution is said to provide key information to patients through their in-room televisions, enabling them to self-manage and equip hospital staff with the insights required to provide personalised care.
Apart from providing cable and entertainment services, Samsung HTVs will provide hospital staff with access to a centralised management system using the technology.
Samsung Electronics America display division vice president Mark Quiroz said: “Samsung is focused on providing healthcare facilities and hospitals with technology solutions and tools that allow them to improve their procedures and services.
“Our partnership with GetWellNetwork upgrades the HTV set to a full platform solution to deliver crucial information that improves patients’ satisfaction, well-being, and overall experience.”
Leveraging centralised management system, the hospital staff can provide patients easy access to personalised welcome kits, visiting hours, education on their pre- and post-care, spiritual care, pain management details, hospital safety protocols, meal plans for the day.
GetWellNetwork can be integrated across the tech company’s healthcare-grade TV series, facilitating quick deployment and ease usage.
GetWellNetwork chief technology officer Robin Cavanaugh said: “By incorporating GetWellNetwork’s proven solution directly into Samsung’s healthcare-grade smart HTVs, patients and healthcare staff alike will now get the best of both worlds.
“They’ll find crucial information at their fingertips – further, the seamless integration of technology with solution will ensure that all users can find the details they need without difficulty.
“We’re excited to work together with Samsung to continue making the healthcare journey a better experience for everyone involved.”
