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.

Differentiators

Differentiators vs EHR Functionality:

Strategically, Locus is focused on: 

(1) helping our customer health systems leverage the critical investment they’ve made in existing technology platforms like the EHR, creating impact for key patient populations where remote care management can most effectively drive outcomes and return on investment. 

(2) meeting our health system care teams where they are, recognizing the reality of patient monitoring and navigation needs vs available provider resources and ensuring that our platform’s ability to collect, synthesize, and transmit key population and patient-specific data supports the efficiency of their teams’ workflows and innovative approaches to coordinated care. 

(3) providing a single-platform “middleware plus” approach to integration, allowing health system teams to choose their preferred remote devices and seamlessly integrate with other relevant patient information via Locus to the EHR 

(4) helping our health system customers view and establish Remote Care Management (both RPM and Navigation) as a strategic capability, supporting both enhanced quality outcomes and becoming a positive-ROI profit center (via enhanced reimbursement revenue and/or lower preventable costs).
