Enghouse Video has entered a partnership with SONIFI Health to enhance the use of virtual care and telehealth solutions in hospitals. 

SONIFI Health, a healthcare technology company in the US, specialises in providing interactive patient engagement technology that has demonstrated improvements in patient outcomes and staff productivity. 

The partnership focuses on integrating Enghouse’s VidyoRooms video conferencing solution into SONIFI Health's interactive TV technology, which is an interactive patient engagement system.  

This effort reinforces SONIFI Health’s commitment to expanding its telehealth solutions and facilitating system optimisations across various hospital settings.  

Enghouse’s VidyoRooms platform is a video conferencing technology that is a combination of software and hardware solutions. 

It is now fully integrated to provide enhanced video conferencing capabilities, including up to 4K resolution for conducting video conferencing, support for multi-party sessions, as well as an enhanced set of security features that comply with healthcare regulations. 

In addition, Enghouse’s telehealth platform is designed to support collaborative interdisciplinary care and boost patient outcomes while also enabling cost savings.  

A significant advantage of the latest partnership is the comprehensive back-end integrations it offers, including tele-sitting, medical devices, electronic medical records (EMR), remote patient observation, patient portals, and consultation services.   

All these integrations are also critical for creating a seamless telehealth experience in hospital settings. 

Both companies are committed to advancing the telehealth solutions they provide to healthcare facilities.  

This alliance underscores a mutual dedication to using technology or developing smarter hospital rooms and enhancing patient care throughout the healthcare industry. 

SONIFI Health Customer Success vice-president Brian Nido said: “Hospitals can choose the telehealth partner that’s right for them, and we incorporate that solution with interactive TV. 

“Using the hardware and systems they already have in patient rooms helps hospitals reduce costs and maximise the value of their existing investments while benefiting both clinicians and patients.” 

Last August, SONIFI Health’s TV technology along with an embedded digital whiteboard was deployed by Williamson Health in its flagship hospital’s postpartum unit.
