Critical care units often face significant bottlenecks, with patients experiencing long waits for limited ICU beds. Studies indicate that nearly half of the patients admitted to ICUs could be adequately managed in less intensive settings. These delays not only increase morbidity and mortality rates but also escalate healthcare costs. Equum Medical’s Tele-Critical Care Services provide an innovative solution to these challenges by offering comprehensive, remote critical care coverage.

Our services include both episodic and round-the-clock ICU coverage through telehealth consultations and management. By leveraging advanced telehealth technology, we help standardize workflows and protocols, guiding house staff and hospitalists through critical procedures. This approach ensures consistency in care delivery, improving patient outcomes and operational efficiency.

Equum Medical’s Tele-Critical Care Services extend beyond the ICU, enhancing critical care support in the emergency department (ED) as well. This ensures that high-acuity patients receive the appropriate level of care from the moment they arrive, significantly reducing adverse events and shortening lengths of stay. By integrating our services, hospitals can optimize patient flow, minimize ICU overcrowding, and enhance overall patient safety and satisfaction.

Our tele-critical care model allows healthcare providers to manage high-acuity patients more effectively, ensuring timely interventions and reducing the strain on ICU resources. By providing expert critical care support remotely, Equum Medical helps hospitals deliver high-quality care to patients, regardless of their location.

Nesa: The Virtual Care Operating System That Disappears Into Epic Workflow

NESA provides the only Epic Toolbox-listed virtual care infrastructure that elegantly integrates into existing clinical workflows. Unlike traditional point solutions that add vendor complexity, NESA's ONE platform replaces 3-7 separate contracts with a single, unified system that scales across unlimited use cases—from virtual nursing and telesitting to tele-stroke, NICU, ED triage, and specialist consults.

One Platform. One Integration. Unlimited Workflows.

Built on NVIDIA edge-based AI, NESA Vision One combines computer vision (17+ body joints, object detection, room context) and natural language processing in a single device that sees patient movement, listens to care conversations, and acts instantly—all while maintaining complete data sovereignty within your hospital network. Every camera operates as its own computer, enabling distributed processing that optimizes power consumption while running multiple applications simultaneously.

Clinical-Grade Infrastructure

• 4K high-resolution optics with 360° awareness and 25× optical PTZ
• Real-time AI processing with zero cloud latency—all data stays on-premise
• Direct Epic flowsheet write-back, ADT feeds, and native ECAL/CAL integration
• HIPAA-compliant, NDAA-compliant hardware with built-in redundancy
• Whisper AI for crystal-clear audio capture even in noisy clinical environments

Measurable Impact

Trusted by health systems including Duke, Baylor Scott & White, and UT Health San Antonio:

• Zero-Latency Performance: Real-time fall detection and clinical event monitoring that works even if the hospital network goes down.
• Automated Documentation: AI that captures clinical events and pre-populates notes directly into Epic Hyperspace.
• 4K Dual Verification: A 30% reduction in medication errors by allowing a remote nurse to verify high-risk meds via high-definition video.
• Efficiency Gains: 73.9% of discharge orders are now completed by 10am, compared to a 46.2% baseline.
• Clinical Safety: A 37.5% reduction in falls with injury and an 80% reduction in severe hospital-acquired pressure injuries (HAPI).
• High Adoption: 100% nurse technology adoption rates, with patients reuqesting rooms fitted with Nesa ONE. 

Designed by Clinicians, for Clinicians

Nesa is recognized by Joint Commission surveyors as "the standard that should exist in patient care across all hospitals" and partners with Magnet-designated organizations. The platform is certified to NHS clinical risk management standards (DCB 0129) for international deployment.

Scale your best clinicians across your entire system—without extending vendor contracts, security reviews, or integration backlogs.
