24/7 essentials for hospital families
Nightstand, for the night you didn't plan on.
A self-service kiosk of chargers, toiletries, blankets and sleep kits, placed where families wait overnight. No food, no medications, and nothing your nurses have to manage.
For families
Three things to know before you tap.
Open when the gift shop isn't
Most hospital retail closes by 8 p.m. Unplanned admissions don't. Nightstand is there for the sixteen hours a day nobody else is.
Six kits, one tap
Stay Connected, Overnight, Freshen Up, Caregiver, Kid Comfort, and a notebook for the questions you were told to write down. Or build your own.
Nothing clinical, nothing edible
No food, no drinks, no medications. Fair convenience pricing printed on the machine. Contactless and card only.
For hospital leadership
Not a vending machine. A place for your staff to point.
Requests for a charger or a toothbrush arrive as interruptions, and the interruption literature is unambiguous about what those cost. Nightstand moves non-clinical requests off your nurses and into a machine, and counts every one that never reached them.
Interruptions per hour for ED nurses under direct observation; families the largest source. Kwon 2021
Clinical error risk per interruption during medication administration. Westbrook 2010
Patient assessment time per med-surg shift, across 36 hospitals. Every supply hunt comes out of it. Hendrich 2008
Capital cost to the hospital. We own, install, insure, stock and remove the kiosk. Zero new tasks for nurses.
Everything you'd have grabbed on the way out the door.
Six signature kits from $7.50 to $22, plus 27 individual items. Assortment finalized with each hospital before install.
Stay Connected
The most requested item in every hospital, every unit. A dead phone is the loss of the whole family's information channel.
Overnight
For the vinyl recliner. The blanket goes home with you.
Freshen Up
For hour fourteen, when you're about to meet the surgeon.
Caregiver
Day two and beyond, for the person who is not leaving.
Kid Comfort
Waiting is harder when you're six.
Questions
Every hospital tells you to write your questions down. Almost none hand you something to write on.
