Brooklyn, NY, USA
WellTab is a Brooklyn-based organization dedicated to bridging the gap between hospitalized patients and their families through the provision of specialized tablets. These devices facilitate continuous, secure audio-visual communication, ensuring that patients remain connected to their loved ones even when physical visits are not possible. The initiative is particularly beneficial for communities that prioritize constant family involvement during medical care, offering a solution that aligns with their values and needs.
The tablets are designed for ease of use, featuring plug-and-play functionality and custom software that allows for uninterrupted video calls. They are distributed free of charge to patients, whether they are in transport, non-transport situations, or already admitted to hospitals. WellTab collaborates with organizations like Hatzolah to equip ambulances with these devices, ensuring immediate access to communication tools upon hospital admission. A dedicated network of volunteers provides 24/7 technical support, assisting families with setup and troubleshooting to maintain seamless connections.
Beyond facilitating communication, WellTab's services have been instrumental in-patient recovery and emotional well-being. Testimonials highlight instances where patients showed significant improvement after engaging with family members through the tablets. In some cases, patients who were previously unresponsive began to show signs of recovery following interactions facilitated by WellTab. These outcomes underscore the organization's impact on both physical health and emotional support for patients and their families.
Operating primarily from Brooklyn, New York, WellTab has extended its reach to various locations, including Los Angeles, to serve a broader community. Their commitment to enhancing patient care through technology reflects a deep understanding of the importance of family presence in the healing process. By providing these tools, WellTab ensures that patients receive not only medical attention but also the comfort and encouragement of their loved ones, even from a distance.
