New App, TeleHome, Connects Hospitalized COVID Patients With Loved Ones
Caregility and COVID Tech Connect developed the free, user-friendly, HIPAA-compliant video conferencing solution to support patient access to virtual hospital visits and other COVID-related calls
Eatontown, N.J. – May 20, 2021 – With a mission of connecting isolated COVID-19 patients to their loved ones, Caregility and COVID Tech Connect announce the launch of TeleHome, a free, HIPAA-compliant, video conferencing app. The new app makes it easy for healthcare professionals and caregivers to assist patients in setting up virtual visitations with family and friends. The app is now available free for download in the Google Play and Apple stores. To use the app, healthcare professionals can request free user accounts through the TeleHome website.
Since its inception in March 2020, COVID Tech Connect has donated 15,000 smart devices to hospitals and care facilities in all 52 states and territories across the nation. These efforts were made possible, in part, from more than $4 million in charitable donations — including a grant from Google.org, and financial donations from an anonymous donor and thousands of individuals via the project’s GoFundMe campaign — to further the mission of connecting patients with loved ones, on any device, anywhere.
“TeleHome was born out of a need for caregivers to virtually connect patients with their families, without compromising hospital security measures,” said Anjali Kumar, co-founder of COVID Tech Connect. “After speaking with over 1,000 hospitals who received device donations from us, it quickly became clear that healthcare professionals needed a user-friendly, HIPAA-compliant video conferencing solution. We sought the expertise of Caregility to design a software solution that would complement our hardware donations to further serve our mission of connecting COVID-19 patients in isolation to loved ones safely and securely.”
Unlike other video conferencing services, TeleHome can connect isolated patients with loved ones on any device. Developed in partnership with industry telehealth veteran Caregility, the new HIPAA-compliant app ensures that patient privacy is protected and that no patient data is stored on the device. Video calls made through TeleHome are hosted on a Web browser, making it easy for family and friends to join without having to download an app or log in. Caregility donated engineering resources and technical infrastructure to make TeleHome possible.
Benefits of TeleHome include:
Easy connection: TeleHome offers patients a simple, intuitive way to launch a private video call with any family member or friend.
HIPAA-compliant: Unlike other video conferencing solutions, TeleHome never stores patient information between calls, wiping the device clean after each session.
No download necessary for call recipients: Through the app, patients send a one-time text message link to friends or family members, inviting them to a video call that is hosted on a Web browser.
Conference calling: Patients can add an unlimited number of family members and friends to their video call.
“We wholeheartedly support the mission of COVID Tech Connect to help COVID-19 patients meet virtually with their loved ones during quarantine,” said Pete McLain, chief strategy officer at Caregility. “We are humbled and honored to do our part in launching the TeleHome app and making it available for free.”
“With visitations shut down, it has been very hard on our patients and their families, as well as on our staff,” said Marianna Harris, CEO of Osborne County Memorial Hospital. “The devices we received from COVID Tech Connect will enable us to provide a deeply needed connection for our patients and their loved ones, giving us all a sense of normalcy during these trying times. Now with the new TeleHome app, our staff can easily support this connection in a safe and secure way, anytime and anywhere, for years to come.”

Caregility using NASCAR Program with Chip Ganassi Racing to Give Back to Healthcare Workers via the Caregility Cares Essential Worker Scholarship
EATONTOWN, N.J. (April 22, 2021) – Caregility, a company dedicated to delivering care to wherever the patient is located through the use of its Caregility Virtual Care Platform, is using its NASCAR program and relationship with Chip Ganassi Racing to make an even bigger impact on the healthcare industry. The Caregility Cares program—which started last year as a simple way to recognize healthcare heroes by placing their name on race cars has now grown to provide financial support for aspiring healthcare workers.
In February 2021, Caregility launched the Caregility Cares Essential Workers Scholarship. The program was designed to grant five aspiring healthcare workers with a $5,000 scholarship to aid in their pursuit of higher education degrees in the field of medicine. The program targets high school seniors, undergraduate and graduate students who are either healthcare workers or dependents of healthcare workers. With applications steadily rolling in ahead of the May 31st deadline, Caregility realized the demand for assistance greatly exceeded their funds. Looking for a way to raise more funds to grant a sixth scholarship, Caregility turned to its NASCAR program with Chip Ganassi Racing.
“As we continue to face the Covid-19 pandemic, the entire world can agree on the importance of our healthcare professionals,” said Ron Gaboury, CEO of Caregility. “These individuals bravely work on the front lines to keep their communities safe, while potentially putting themselves at risk. It takes a special individual to devote their life to helping others through a career in nursing or any of the medical fields. At Caregility, we have the distinct honor to work with these individuals every day, and we can’t do enough to repay them for their service. With the Caregility Cares Essential Workers Scholarship, we look to make an impact on these individuals by relieving some of the burden and financial stress of working toward a degree.”
Caregility will serve as the co-primary sponsor of the No. 42 Chevrolet with their sister company, Yorktel, during this weekend’s race at Talladega Superspeedway.
Race fans who would like to support the sixth scholarship for an aspiring healthcare worker can watch Caregility’s social channels for additional ways to support the fund, including participating in an online auction in early May.

Caregility Earns International Privacy Data Management Certification
Addition of ISO 27001 and ISO 27701 certifications verify gold standard security risk mitigationfor Caregility Virtual Care Platform end users.
Eatontown, N.J. – Mar. 10, 2021– Caregility, a company dedicated to delivering care to wherever the patient is located through the use of the Caregility Virtual Care Platform, announces the company has earned two privacy and security certifications. The ISO 27001 certification validates that Caregility meets requirements for establishing, implementing, maintaining, and continually improving its information security management system (ISMS). The ISO 27701 certification, a new globally recognized privacy standard and extension to ISO 27001, demonstrates that Caregility has an effective privacy information management system (PIMS) in place to protect customer and stakeholder data. ISO 27701 also verifies that Caregility complies with GDPR and other applicable personally identifiable information (PII) regulations.
As more hospitals embrace video streaming services such as inpatient telehealth and continuous patient observation, these certifications ensure decreased risk related to privacy and information breaches for Caregility Virtual Care Platform customers. To date, Caregility is one of the few health IT companies to achieve ISO 27701 certification, which was introduced in August of 2019. To earn the certifications, Caregility worked with qualified certification body Schellman and Company, LLC, which conducted a thorough and intensive internal audit of Caregility’s ISMS and PIMS systems. The results of Caregility’s audit revealed zero evidence of nonconformity. Caregility’s status will be maintained through annual surveillance audits and full reassessment every three years.
“As a cloud service provider in the healthcare industry, ISO 27001 and ISO 27701 are very important for Caregility and its customers,” said Bin Guan, Caregility Chief Product and Innovation Officer. “The former enhances the latterwith additional components to improve privacy data management as a part of the overall ISMS.Because of the nature of our business, we felt it was important to add the certifications to the compliance portfolio of both our current and legacy platform solutions.”
