Calvary Health Care
The Mobile Healthcare Manager for Patients
Client Spotlight: CalvaryCare App
The journey began with a clear vision: to create an intuitive, user-friendly mobile app, available on both Android and iOS, that bridges the gap between patients, healthcare providers and vital medical information.
With more than 200,000 admissions managed annually across Calvary hospitals, the app needed to make a measurable impact by streamlining admission processes, enhancing patient engagement and improving communication across the continuum of care.
A Central Hub for Patient Care
The CalvaryCare app empowers patients to take control of their healthcare journey. They can conveniently complete admission details before arriving, saving time and improving data accuracy.
A standout feature enables patients to invite loved ones to follow their admission journey in real-time, providing updates and reassurance.
The app also provides centralised access to essential resources such as pre- and post-operative education, discharge summaries, hospital navigation tools, and other health-related materials. A built-in specialist directory facilitates direct communication, while integrated wayfinding tools help patients and families navigate hospital campuses with ease.
