Transforming Critical Care Telemedicine
Vidyo Powers Mercy’s TeleICU Command Center
Mercy – the sixth largest Catholic health system in the U.S. – integrated Vidyo into its central TeleICU command center, SafeWatch. Powered by Vidyo and Philips® eCare Manager, SafeWatch provides around-the-clock telemedicine monitoring of critically ill patients at 15 different hospitals. Over 450 Philips TeleICU monitored beds have been equipped with Vidyo enabling Mercy’s critical care doctors and nurses to watch over and visually communicate with ICU patients, their families and bedside healthcare staff from a central command center.Results

“With Vidyo we are able to do many things a bedside physician can do, except physically touch a patient. We can see the entire room, from the drips to the ventilator panel, to how the patient looks. We can talk to the family, patient or nurses in the room.”
Vidyo “Inside”: The future of telehealth & telemedicine solutions
The traditional healthcare delivery model is undergoing a major transition, shaped by the increasing integration of technology we use daily within our personal and professional lives. From mobile applications to medical consultations via video, new telehealth practices and technologies are allowing patients healthcare access anytime, anywhere and on any device.
Because of our feature-rich APIs, Vidyo is leading the charge in the way telemedicine is being delivered around the world. Our technology allows video to be integrated into various telehealth platforms, networks and devices, at an easy-to-use, low price point unmatched by other video conferencing providers without sacrificing key features. A shining example of this is Mercy’s SafeWatch system, powered by Vidyo.
Mercy’s SafeWatch is the largest single-hub TeleICU in the country. Spanning across four states, 15 hospitals and monitoring close to 500 Philips TelelCU beds, this new telehealth service enables specialists to continually monitor critical patients and data, and interact via Vidyo with bedside medical teams, ICU patients and their families from one central command center. Deployed across a geographical region traditionally known to be difficult for patients to receive quick, acute healthcare and medical consultations due to its rural nature, Vidyo’s integration into Mercy’s SafeWatch system helps to provide timely, personalized care regardless of physical distance.
