Saint Peter’s expands intelligent hospital room partnership with hellocare.ai

Saint Peter’s Healthcare System is expanding its partnership with hellocare.ai to bring additional intelligent hospital room capabilities across the organization. The effort is focused on AI assisted patient safety, virtual care, and real time clinical communication in inpatient settings.

hellocare.ai, based in Clearwater, Florida, announced on July 1, 2026, that it is continuing work with Saint Peter’s Healthcare System in New Brunswick, New Jersey. The company said the expanded deployment will extend intelligent hospital room technology across the health system. The announcement was presented as a partner article.

According to the release, Saint Peter’s has already deployed Module 1, which includes AI Assisted Virtual Nurse Rounding and Telehealth, and Module 2, which includes AI Assisted Virtual Sitting. The health system is also now live with hellocare.ai’s AI models for fall prevention. The company said those tools are already having a meaningful impact on patient experience and on reducing patient safety risks.

As part of the broader initiative, Saint Peter’s is also deploying hellocare.ai’s intelligent digital door signs. The signs are designed to let clinicians and staff view critical patient information in real time outside patient rooms. The release said the digital room environment is intended to improve communication, streamline workflows, strengthen patient safety, and support more efficient care delivery across inpatient operations.

Jordan M. Tannenbaum, MD, MBA, MPH, chief information officer and chief medical information officer at Saint Peter’s Healthcare System, said the organization wants to use technology in ways that improve both the patient and clinician experience. He said the partnership has helped the health system implement intelligent room technology and AI assisted workflows that improve patient safety, enhance communication, and support care teams with more proactive interventions.

The digital door signs are meant to provide live patient and operational information directly outside patient rooms. The release said that information helps clinicians quickly identify precautions, care status, workflows, and other important patient related details in real time. When paired with AI assisted monitoring and virtual care workflows, the intelligent hospital room initiative is described as creating a more connected and responsive care environment.

Linda Carroll, MSN, RN, RN-BC, vice president of Patient Care Services and chief nursing officer at Saint Peter’s Healthcare System, said virtual nursing and AI assisted patient observation technologies are helping transform the inpatient experience for both patients and staff. She said the ability to proactively identify patient risks such as falls while also supporting nurses with virtual workflows has already shown significant value for teams and for the patients they serve.

hellocare.ai said its AI models use advanced computer vision and intelligent workflows to help identify patient risk factors, support early interventions, and enhance operational awareness across inpatient settings. The company described its platform as combining virtual care delivery, AI assisted monitoring, patient engagement, intelligent room signage, and workflow automation into a single enterprise platform.

Labinot Bytyqi, founder and CEO of hellocare.ai, said the company is proud to partner with Saint Peter’s Healthcare System as the health system continues to expand its intelligent hospital room strategy. He said Saint Peter’s has embraced innovation in a thoughtful and impactful way by combining AI assisted safety technologies, virtual care delivery, and real time clinical communication tools to create a safer and more connected patient care environment.

The partnership was presented as an example of growing adoption of enterprise intelligent hospital room technologies. The release said these tools are being used to improve patient outcomes, support clinical teams, and create safer inpatient care environments through AI assisted innovation.
