Going in the hospital?
It's a busy place.
Personal items get lost. Information gets missed. Inconsistencies
in care - like lapses in hand hygiene - impact your health and recovery. The Patient Pod can help. It's a "portable wellness center" that clips on your bed rail, walker or wheelchair, a "constant" through the care journey. The short video on the left shows you how it works.
How did the Patient Pod come about? After company founder and former medical reporter Pat Mastors lost her father to a hospital-acquired infection, she committed
all her energies and resources to helping patients "partner" with caregivers to stay well. The Patient Pod puts tools, information and communication in the patient's hands, so they can participate in their care. (FAQs are here.)
“It’s like taking a friend to the hospital with
you - familiar and comforting, in a place where nothing you touch is
yours," says Sandy Coletta, CEO of a Rhode Island hospital. "Spot-on!" says The Institute for Healthcare Improvement.
In national
patient trials, every caregiver surveyed would want a Patient Pod for themselves if hospitalized. That's why nursing homes and hospitals are using it to reduce “never events”, lower costs, and improve patient satisfaction.

worry about my personal items." - Susan Barrett, retired school teacher
