Phunware Inc (NASDAQ:PHUN) has deployed its multiscreen-as-a-service platform to support a custom mobile application for its latest customer, one the nation’s largest health systems.
Because of the scope of its new customer, Phunware’s MaaS platform will provide location-based services (LBS) to more than 22 million square feet across 30 facilities. Helping patients navigate these facilities is crucial to addressing the $150 billion lost every year in the US due to missed healthcare appointments, the company said, citing data from the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
“The enterprise rollout of this mobile application enabled by our location-based services is another great example of leadership in healthcare innovation and we’re proud to play our part in building a true digital front door,” CEO Alan Knitowski said in a statement. “Being able to navigate a complex facility easily makes hospital visits less stressful for patients, while being able to reach and inform patients with the push of a button, saving precious time and increasing staff efficiencies.”
