Most importantly, this purposeful application of computer vision technology underscores Caregility’s commitment to responsible AI, as visual data is processed locally, safeguarding data protection and privacy.
“Our open and adaptable platform allows us to develop native AI capabilities when possible while also evaluating other third-party solutions to determine if they can add value to caregivers’ workflows,” said Kedar Ganta, Caregility’s Chief Product and Engineering Officer. “This flexibility keeps us at the forefront of AI advancements without being locked into a single solution.”
“We’re redefining the future of telehealth with AI-powered edge computing,” said Bin Guan, Caregility’s Chief Innovation Officer. “By breaking down traditional barriers to AI adoption, we’re enabling healthcare providers to leverage cutting-edge technology without sacrificing operational efficiency or data privacy.”
“This breakthrough in AI at the edge is confirmation of Caregility’s ability to innovate,” added Mike Brandofino, Caregility’s President and Chief Operating Officer. “At the same time, no company can provide all the technology required to deliver on the modernization of care. Caregility remains committed to integrating with other AI technology partners where it makes sense in order to bring value and flexibility to our customers. This ultimately provides them with a foundational platform they can build on for the foreseeable future.”
Caregility’s computer vision capability is available to be used on every one of the more than 15,000 Caregility edge devices currently installed in hospitals around the globe. This is a testament to the value and durability of Caregility’s purpose-built devices, called Access Point of Care Systems (APS). The first APS system ever deployed by the company is still running after six and half years in continuous operation, proving that choosing Caregility means that health systems will have a future-proof solution that can adapt as new technology is introduced.
“Our approach to AI involves understanding the challenges our customers face and then identifying where technology can play a role,” said Ganta. “We believe that combining our video AI and audio AI with specialized third-party solutions, such as contactless vitals tracking, can provide caregivers with valuable insights to improve patient outcomes. By leveraging our edge devices and avoiding the challenges of cloud-based AI, we can achieve faster and more accurate results with our proprietary technology.”

Baptist Health, Caregility Expand Partnership to Enhance Patient Care
Arkansas-based health system to more than double its bedside telehealth footprint with expansion of virtual nursing, support staff, and providers
EATONTOWN, N.J. and LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (May 9, 2024) – Baptist Health and Caregility are pleased to announce an expanded partnership aimed at enhancing patient care across the Arkansas-based healthcare organization.
Baptist Health will enhance its bedside care teams by increasing its usage of Caregility intelligent telehealth devices to more than 700 bedsides system-wide, doubling the footprint of the healthcare organization’s inpatient telehealth services. The initiative adds virtual clinical resources to support in-person bedside care and help improve patient outcomes. This collaboration underscores both organizations’ commitment to leveraging technology to transform healthcare delivery and meet the evolving needs of patients and staff.
The enhanced partnership builds upon Baptist Health’s previous success with virtual admissions and discharge programs, currently supported by more than 300 wall-mounted and cart-based Caregility telehealth devices across 11 hospitals. Since partnering on virtual care services with Caregility in 2021, telehealth session volume for Baptist Health has increased from roughly 1,000 virtual visits per quarter to more than 20,000.
A Baptist Health bedside care team member welcomes a virtual clinician into the patient room using Caregility’s APS250C mobile telehealth cart.
In early 2023, Baptist Health Rehabilitation Institute successfully launched Arkansas’ first virtual nursing program to provide additional support to bedside nurses, patients and families. The program then expanded to the healing ministry’s hospitals in Stuttgart, Malvern and Heber Springs. Thanks to positive patient outcomes and feedback, Baptist Health will roll out virtual care programs on every medical and surgical floor across the organization.
As part of this expansion, Baptist Health will deploy Caregility’s new, highly advanced telehealth devices and award-winning Caregility Cloud™ virtual care platform in more than 500 additional patient rooms at the health system’s flagship hospital, Baptist Health Medical Center-Little Rock, as well as Baptist Health Medical Center-North Little Rock and Baptist Health-Fort Smith. These devices will support the expansion of virtual nursing and the rollout of virtual support staff and virtual providers in the coming months. Additionally, a centralized hub to support virtual nursing and virtual sitters has opened on the Baptist Health Medical Center-Little Rock campus.
Baptist Health will implement Caregility’s new dual-camera APS200 Duo telehealth edge devices to support the next phase of its virtual nursing rollout.
“Embracing virtual support as part of our acute care bedside support and quality strategy signifies a pivotal step forward in how we envision the future of healthcare at Baptist Health. Baptist Health first added virtual care in 2005, and we have continued to advance with the latest technology bringing us to where we are today with our partnership with Caregility. This expansion is more than an initiative; it’s a commitment to providing health equity across our state, setting new standards in patient and provider satisfaction, and furthering our mission to be the employer of choice in Arkansas.”
– Kourtney Matlock President of Baptist Health Rehabilitation Institute and system post-acute services
The partnership exponentially increases the eyes and ears able to focus on patients, reducing pressure on bedside staff by redistributing tasks that a virtual nurse or support staff can field. As a result of increased telehealth services in acute care settings, healthcare systems see significant time savings and improved throughput (the process of moving patients through the hospital system from admission to discharge). Having virtual options at the bedside appeals to patients as well, as evidenced by improved patient satisfaction ratings in early field trials.
“We are at a point where this type of care model is not an option for our health systems, it is the only way they can address staffing issues and remain competitive,” said Caregility President and COO Mike Brandofino. “This partnership with Baptist Health is a great example of how Caregility can make it easy to deploy intelligent devices and services to enhance patient care through virtual programs.”
Caregility Cloud™ allows health systems to easily centralize and scale programs such as Virtual Nursing, Virtual Patient Observation, Virtual Rounding, and Virtual Consultations in inpatient settings, improving staffing flexibility and workflow efficiency and making it easier to engage remote specialists and interpreters to support patient access and health equity. Trusted by more than 1,000 U.S. hospitals for high reliability, the platform is favored for its adaptability to a multitude of workflows and integrations with clinical platforms, including Epic.

Early market adopters are using APS200 Duo, APS100 Pro, and APS FlexCam devices to cost-effectively scale AI-enabled telehealth to every patient room.
OhioHealth recently installed 66 APS100 Pro telehealth devices as part of its Patient Room of the Future initiative at the health system’s new Pickerington Methodist Hospital. “From ordering meals to watching educational videos and managing medication schedules, the intuitive technology aims to provide a more personalized hospital stay,” said Tom Gutman, OhioHealth Senior Consultant of Learning Simulation. “The addition of a camera above the TV allows patients to speak virtually with nurses, specialists, or family members. The positive impact is evident to both staff and patients alike.”
UMass Memorial Health recently launched a similar initiative. “We plan to install the APS200 in our new 72-bed inpatient facility – our “hospital of the future” – for a variety of different use cases including e-sitting, virtual rounding, patient-family communication, and even tele-ICU level care,” said David Smith, UMass Memorial Health System Associate VP of Virtual Medicine. “The combination of form factor and advanced PTZ camera control is a sweet spot for the APS200. We wanted to be an early adopter after seeing the prototype and competitive price point. We envision this to be a standard of care for every bed across our healthcare system.”
“Our mission at Caregility is to continuously elevate the art of what’s possible in care delivery to improve the experience for both patients and providers,” said Bin Guan, Caregility Chief Innovation Officer. “Our latest telehealth edge devices offer healthcare organizations an effective way to extend hybrid care at scale – every room, every bed, every patient – so they can deliver the most effective, high-quality care possible.”
