Accessibility & Equity

The VitalCare patient application was designed with ease of use as one of the primary goals. It is simple and straightforward, and able to be used by people with little or no technical knowledge. One of the key focus areas for VitalTech has been developing simple, intuitive UI and communications. The UI is designed to be very senior friendly for low vision and dexterity . VitalTech follows the recommendation of the Joint Commission that all patient education materials (PEMs) should be written at or below a 5th grade reading level in order to address the health literacy needs of all patients. We are mindful that many of our patients utilizing the VitalCare application are elderly, with the average age of our users being 78. With that knowledge, we work hard to ensure that our application is easy to use no matter a patient’s age and/or technical literacy. VitalTech and AT&T initiated a strategic partnership to deliver best-in-class virtual care over FirstNet, ensuring patients and clinicians always have access to real-time data and communications to solve some of the more significant health equity issues the US healthcare system faces. From AT&T, we provide patient access to the FirstNet network mentioned prior. As a FirstNet subscriber, patients would get prioritized access on all AT&T LTE bands in addition to Band 14, while also receiving enhanced coverage in rural areas.

Technical Support

We have a dedicated customer success team that will continue to work with you and is always available to rectify any issues that may come up, for both you and any of the patients on the system. VitalTech offers a 24/7 customer and technical support service for both providers and patients.
