The patient engagement app that's free to use
Free for patients. Helps reduce communication barriers and hospital readmissions.
At Parity Medical, we believe all patients deserve equal and freely-available access to entertainment, hospital services, and information about their condition and recovery. Our patient engagement solution improves this access while also reducing potential communication barriers experienced by patients while they’re in your care.
- Free to use for patients (not a patient pay model)
- No barriers for age, language, disability, or learning difficulties
- Designed for hospitals, not hotels
- No lengthy contracts
Free to use for all your patients
Check out our interactive demonstration where Ben explains how your patients can be entertained, empowered, and communicate with family/friends.
Improving staff welfare
Our app was designed to help staff welfare and workflow efficiencies by creating a non-urgent nurse request button which has been proven to reduce urgent nurse calls by 34%.
Explore how it can help your team through the interactive video below.
Secure and future proof
Apple centric - iPads and Apple TV are our most popular solutions for the app
Although our app is a device-agnostic software, we believe that an Apple-centric approach offers a wide array of hardware options from tablets to large format screens via an Apple TV. This Apple approach gives a clear and secured future upgrade path, with regular updates to the operating system.
Apple devices offer clear privacy advantages to competing products, and deployment is a breeze, with Parity organising Apple’s Automated Device Enrolment (DEP) for zero-touch deployment. Once installed, all Apple devices are configured and managed via JAMF (Mobile Device Management), which is a key cornerstone in the automated configuring and wiping of the devices for each patient, via the HL7 connection with the relevant PAS (or similar) feed.
On top of all this, Apple Financial Services open the door to spread your costs over multiple years and gives refresh options to keep your fleet of devices from becoming aged and lesser-used.
Large TVs
Use the app with large format, wall-mounted TVs, often found in single occupancy rooms.
Tablets & healthcare TVs
From wall-mounted screens to tablets enclosed in a purpose-designed tablet cart, we have a range of healthcare solutions for patients to access the app on. Using tablets opens the door for virtual visit and consultations uses, as well as a more user-friendly UI for playing games, browsing the web, and other apps that use a keyboard.
Bring your own device
Our app is also available via the App Store/Play Store, with patients able to access personalized care information and entertainment, even on their own device.
Bringing together the full project team
We understand how patient engagement installations require input from different departments and stakeholders to help make the project successful.
Project manager
Our dedicated project management and installation team can help you maximise uptake and engagement at every stage of the project.
Nursing team
The app personalises all digital entertainment and education for each patient, while reducing non-urgent nurse calls to increase staff welfare.
IT manager
We offer zero-touch deployment and can manage the hardware and software installation, minimising calls to your IT service desk.
Patient experience
Content can be tailored to suit a patient’s age, language, disability, or any learning difficulties. Patients can also access surveys in several ways.
We work with your full project team!
Charity
Our app provides distraction, relaxation, and information—making hospitals feel less like hospitals. It can be promoted via fundraising alerts and donation pages.

Comms team
A digital communications area helps you share updates with patients in a way that’s in line with the Trust’s most recent communications and messaging.
Catering teams
NHS Trusts can move towards digital meal ordering in phases—from simple PDFs or digital menus to a robust system with stock management and e-procurement.
Free to use patient engagement for the first dedicated cancer hospital in Liverpool
“It was vital we had a system that was free of charge for our patients. Equally important for us was finding a supplier in Parity Medical that we could work with to provide that.” Kirsteen Scowcroft, Business Change Manager
Digital meal ordering
Digital meal ordering is in the planning phase for most NHS Trusts. We can help phase from simple PDFs or digital menus to introducing a more digital meal ordering system which includes stock management and e-procurement. Our solutions are in line with raising standards and recommendations set by PLACE and the Hospital Food Review.
Digital meal ordering using interactive patient use tablets provided a 34% reduction in food costs, 50% reduction in service time, improved patient satisfaction. The study was at Chesterfield Royal Hospital NHS Foundation Trust with digital meal ordering access from Civica and Sodexo.
