Mercy Virtual Creates Anytime Healthcare

Mercy Virtual partnered with WWT and Cisco to create a Virtual Care Center, reaching more patients in more places to provide care the moment it's needed.

Looking for a way to reach more patients in more places and provide care the moment it is needed, Mercy Virtual partnered with World Wide Technology (WWT) and Cisco Systems to connect medical teams in their Care Center to patients at home.

Cisco and WWT Help Mercy Virtual Extend Its Mission

What does a virtual hospital look like?

Mercy worked hand-in-hand with WWT to extend their mission far beyond the walls of its Virtual Care Center. Highly sensitive two-way cameras put doctors at the bedside, wherever that is, while sensors use real-time data to detect deteriorations in health. And all along the way, care teams create stronger bonds with their patients.

Healthcare innovation on the fly

WWT created a custom software application to create an easy interface for care teams and patients. The application has an evolving software infrastructure, innovating with APIs on top of Cisco technologies.
