Caregility & Drexel University

The collaboration will integrate virtual care training and connected care technology into Drexel's Nursing programs.

WALL, N.J. and PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 9, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Caregility Corporation, a global enterprise telehealth leader dedicated to connecting care for patients and clinicians everywhere through innovative virtual care and AI-powered solutions, and Drexel University's College of Nursing and Health Professions today announced a partnership to bring the latest smart room technology and best practices into Drexel's nursing programs to better prepare nursing students for the growing use of digital health and AI in healthcare. The programs will provide students with hands-on experience using digital health tools to simulate engaging with patients virtually. Caregility is donating equipment and use of its award-winning Caregility Connected Care™ platform to support the new programs.

Drexel prides itself on state-of-the-art simulation experiences with access to tools, applications, and workflows for healthcare delivery. As the healthcare environment continues to evolve, virtual nursing has become a critical component. Yet there has been little in the way of preparing nursing students to leverage this technology to improve patient safety and outcomes. The goal of this collaboration is to enhance the simulation environment to begin to develop competency in the interface between patients and technology. This partnership distinguishes Drexel University College of Nursing and Health Professions and Caregility in an academic-practice partnership to better prepare nurses for practice.

"By embedding virtual care technologies into simulation, we're equipping students with real-world, hands-on experience in digital health environments." - Kym Montgomery, DNP, APRN, WHNP-BC, CNE, FAANP, FAAN, Drexel University

"This partnership exemplifies Drexel Nursing's dedication to preparing graduates for the future of healthcare," said Kym Montgomery, DNP, APRN, WHNP-BC, CNE, FAANP, FAAN, senior associate dean of nursing and chief nursing academic officer, College of Nursing and Health Professions at Drexel University. "By embedding virtual care technologies into simulation, we're equipping students with real-world, hands-on experience in digital health environments. This forward-thinking approach ensures our graduates enter the workforce not only practice-ready but prepared to lead innovation in patient care."

"This innovative partnership in the setting of simulation provides a unique opportunity to develop beginning competencies in the technology-patient interface and promotes the development of practice-ready nurses," added Kate Morse, PhD, MSN, RN, AGACNP-Ret, assistant dean of Simulation and Innovation, College of Nursing and Health Professions at Drexel University.

Caregility will provide Drexel University with smart bedside devices and use of the Caregility Connected Care™ platform, which currently enables dozens of clinical workflows in hospitals around the world. This includes access to responsible AI technology that uses computer vision, ambient listening, and contactless sensors to give caregivers additional insight from the patient room.

"We are so happy that we can partner with Drexel University and support their nursing program to develop and enhance course content to provide nursing students with relevant training to be prepared for entering the emerging healthcare delivery environments integrating virtual nursing," said Susan Kristiniak, chief nursing officer at Caregility. "Digital health is permeating every aspect of care for both inpatient and outpatient settings, and nurses are our primary users of the technology to promote safe practice, quality care, and workflow efficiencies. It is vital to prepare these students for what they will undoubtedly be using upon graduation."

Drexel University's dedication to innovation in nursing education recently earned it the Community Impact Award at the 2025 Caregility Customer Connect Summit, honoring its leadership in integrating virtual care into clinical training. The university will commemorate the official unveiling of its new nursing simulation environment with a ribbon-cutting event on October 15.
