Phunware Inc (NASDAQ:PHUN) announced Thursday it has partnered with Vizzia Technologies to offer its digital front door solution on mobile to leading healthcare organizations that leverage Vizzia’s real-time location systems (RTLS) technology.
Phunware said its solution is optimized for mobile, on the company’s Multiscreen-as-a-Service (MaaS) enterprise cloud platform, to deliver critical features and capabilities to healthcare providers while enabling seamless integrations with everything from electronic health records (EHRs) such as Epic to telehealth providers such as Amwell.
The company noted that this end-to-end, holistic approach eliminates the pain of having to manage dozens of point solutions, while simultaneously offering staff, patients, and visitors a far more simplistic, cohesive, and integrated healthcare experience.
