The WVU Medicine App Helps Patients Stay Better Informed

This app was created to help patients and visitors to West Virginia hospitals stay better informed and more comfortable.

When you’re at the hospital, there are lots of things that could be going wrong or that you should be aware of. Keeping track of all the different hospital information is not always easy. For instance, your appointment time could be running out or the patient could be waiting for a test result to come back.

You’re going to be able to see real-time updates and alerts on the hospital’s website or other hospital apps. That way, you’ll always know what’s happening in the hospital.

If you or your family member is being treated at the hospital, you’re going to be able to check the patient’s current status and vital signs.

You can also get wayfinding assistance if you’re traveling to any publicly-accessible area of the hospital, including lobbies and waiting areas, clinical departments, cafeteria, Starbucks, and gift shop.

The WVU Medicine app can also check the waiting room status and get notified when it’s time to be seen.

It’s easy to give feedback on your hospital experience.
