Hospital Care

Perception and sense of well-being has a profound effect on a patient’s experience.

And a patient’s experience not only impacts their medical condition, but also affects their level of engagement, caregiver time, crucial quality metrics, and their propensity to make positive recommendations.

Those quality metrics are also directly related to the return on investment (ROI) associated with the Waya^® Health Platform. Every year more than a billion dollars is withheld from hospitals by CMS. Only those facilities with the highest quality standards and patient satisfaction scores can earn money back.

Pediatrics

What children see directly affects what they feel.

Simply being in the hospital can be stressful because children don’t always understand what is happening. Stress creates a difficult environment for everyone – parents, doctors, nurses – and can lead to an increased use of sedatives.

Waya immersive applications let young patients escape the reality of their surroundings for the peace and calm of a virtual space. Everything from minor surgical procedures to IV placements and fracture care are made easier for patients, parents and staff alike…

Fall Assessment

According to the CDC, >800,000 people are are hospitalized each year due to falls, with medical costs totaling >$50 Billion.

Rehabilitation

Critical for recovery efforts and a return to functionality.
Waya significantly increases compliance.

Rehabilitation can be impacted by so many seemingly small problems. But those problems combine to lower success rates. Scheduling, distance, therapist availability, they all influence the adherence and compliance that create better outcomes. The Waya^® immersive rehabilitation application can be used in-person or remotely – or a combination of the two with absolutely no loss of continuity for the patient.

Overcome barriers by providing patients with on demand care in the comfort of their home

Quantitatively track and monitor your patient’s compliance, performance, and progress

Create personalized therapy programs and exercise regimens for your patients

Empowering patients with real-time feedback to help them advance through therapy

The Waya^® Health platform is uniquely capable of providing evidence-based immersive experiences and tools to help promote the quality of life and comfort of patients in an entirely non-invasive and non-pharmacological way.

Overcome barriers to relief with an on-demand solution regardless of settings
