Intake Pod · Schools & campuses

Triage in the building, a physician on the screen.

For schools and universities, where one nurse may cover more than one building.

Render, not a photograph. The enclosure is in development.
One nurse, more buildings

The nurse cannot be in three places.

A nurse who covers more than one building spends the day travelling between them. A Pod in each building takes the vitals and the account, and a physician joins on screen wherever the nurse is not.

  • Every visit reaches a physicianThe Pod triages; the physician on video makes the call.
  • Nothing to read or fill inQuestions are asked out loud, one at a time.
  • The nurse keeps the roomIt does not replace them; it covers the buildings they are not in.
Why here

Built for schools and campuses.

  1. 1Every visit reaches a physicianThe Pod triages; a physician on telehealth sees everything and makes the call.
  2. 2Nothing to read, nothing to fill inQuestions are asked out loud, one at a time, and answered the same way.
  3. 3Missing readings, flaggedA reading that could not be taken is left empty and counted, never filled in.

What you will be asked

The questions schools and campuses ask.

Can it be used by students under eighteen?

That is agreed with the school or district before a Pod goes in: consent, who is called, and what the nurse is told. We do not set that policy for you.

Does a parent get told?

Whoever your policy says, in the way your policy says. The record of the visit is the same one the nurse and the physician see.

Is a nurse still needed?

Yes. The Pod covers the buildings a nurse is not standing in, and the physician on screen is the one who decides.

What it does

Everything it runs, on its own.

The same flow in every model. The enclosure changes with the room it stands in; what happens inside it does not.

  • Autonomous triageAcuity assigned by Pulse from the vitals and the answers, before a clinician is involved
  • Weight, firstOn the integrated scale, because standing still is what the rest of the capture needs
  • Vitals off devicesBlood pressure, heart rate, oxygen saturation and temperature, measured rather than typed
  • The patient’s own wordsAsked out loud, one question at a time, and only the ones the answers make relevant
  • A physician on telehealthJoining with the vitals, the narrative and the cited draft already in hand
  • Missing readings flaggedA reading that could not be taken stays empty and is counted, never filled with a default
  • One record, door to claimEvery step written once, in order, for the clinicians and the audit that follow
  • Built to ADA requirementsThe approach and the screen alike, so the flow is the same for everyone
  • Beside your EHRIt runs next to the record you already keep, rather than asking you to move
  • Switches and exportsTurn it off at a site or for a clinician, and take the record with you, at any time
Siting

Before a Pod goes in.

  • Floor spaceRoom for the enclosure, and for a patient to step in
  • Power and a networkEnough for the physician’s video, checked on site first
  • Someone nearbyFor when the physician asks for a pair of hands
  • Students under eighteenConsent, and who is called, agreed with the school or district before a Pod goes in
What it costs

Quotedleased by the month, against your own sites

Encounters are $25 each, published. A Pod is priced on a call, because siting, how many you need and the term all move it. Nothing is charged until an enclosure is yours.
