Illustrated pill-sorting walkthroughs — explained at the pace of the person reading them
When a patient goes home with 9 prescriptions and a two-page discharge sheet, comprehension fails. Vitals replaces that sheet with illustrated, narrated modules that pause for questions, repeat on request, and adapt reading speed to the learner.
- Interactive pill-sorting modules with visual drug identification
- Real-time interaction checker for common combinations
- Printable caregiver medication schedules with time-of-day icons

Voice-narrated fall-risk assessments that home health aides can run between shifts
Falls are the leading cause of injury death in adults over 65 — yet 80% are predictable. Our voice-guided assessment takes 4 minutes on a phone screen, generates a personalized home safety checklist, and flags high-risk patients for clinical follow-up.
- 4-minute voice-guided fall risk screen, mobile-optimized
- Personalized home safety checklist (grab bars, lighting, footwear)
- Auto-generated clinical summary for care team handoff
67% fall risk reduction

- Condition-specific illustrated modules (CHF, COPD, fracture recovery)
- Built-in comprehension questions — not quizzes, conversations
- Printable + digital delivery; available in 12 languages
