This will allow hospitals to scale and simplify access to their telehealth infrastructure by using devices that already exist in patient rooms.

Amwell co-CEO and chairman Ido Schoenberg said: “We believe telehealth has a powerful role to play in the democratisation of healthcare, and in working towards this goal, we are building out our platform to enable the convergence of healthcare experiences across care settings, making it easier for those on the frontlines to see their patients.
