Windsor Regional Hospital
Hospitalwide
With hundreds of patients coming through each day, it is a challenge to provide all patients with the right information at the right time.
Windsor Regional Hospital
Windsor Regional Hospital is one of the largest hospitals in the province of Ontario. It is the regional provider of advanced care in areas including kidney dialysis, cardiac care, stroke and neurosurgery, intensive care, acute mental health, neonatal intensive care, and regional cancer care.
The challenge
For Windsor Regional Hospital, a significant challenge is providing excellent service, comprehensive and detailed information about diagnosis and stay to hundreds of patients each day. Too often, patients are unsure about what to do and are too afraid to ask questions. Windsor wanted to provide information to patients in a different way without increasing the workload for doctors and nurses in the departments.
The solution
We created an app with general information about the hospital and specific information about treatments. At the launch, Windsor Regional organized a press day at the hospital, created an animation explaining the app to patients, and flooded their social media channels with news about the new technology.
Less than a year later, 2,000 patients have downloaded the app. Brochures and posters we created are still being handed out daily at reception, download instructions are displayed on television screens in all departments, and new content is routinely added by various staff members.
The success of the app at Windsor Regional proves that our technology can improve the standard of patient care across multiple departments simultaneously and can have a tremendously positive impact on how the hospital is perceived by patients.
The app has played a significant role in helping to standardize care at Windsor Regional Hospital and in improving communication between patients and their care teams.
"The app has played a significant role in helping to standardize care."

"Patients told us that the most frightening aspect of a hospital visit is the fear of the unknown. They also mentioned that after receiving a life-changing diagnosis, they do not fully hear, understand, or appreciate what their healthcare provider is saying. This app helps alleviate that fear by providing patients with answers that are available to them at any time."
