Patent recognition reflects Caregility's commitment to designing healthcare technology around the needs of patients, clinicians, and the modern hospital room
WALL, N.J., July 29, 2026 /PRNewswire-³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏÍø/ -- Caregility, a global leader in enterprise connected care and AI solutions, today announced that the United States Patent and Trademark Office has granted the company a patent for the distinctive physical design of its flagship APS200 Duo endpoint, purpose-built to support virtual care and smart room workflows.
U.S. Design Patent No. D1,134,876, titled Healthcare Terminal, was granted on July 14, 2026. The patent protects the design of the device, including its distinctive integrated form and appearance. Bin Guan, Albert Sutcavage, Simon Lowe, and David Walter Galas contributed to the development of the innovation.
The patent represents more than a design milestone. It reflects Caregility's broader product philosophy: clinical technology should be designed specifically for the environments, users, and workflows it serves. Rather than adapting general-purpose conferencing equipment for hospital use, Caregility develops smart room endpoints around the practical requirements of inpatient care. The patented design brings core audio and video room-sensing and engagement components together in a unified form factor intended to optimize clinical workflows while fitting naturally into the patient-room environment.
That clinically informed approach is central to Caregility's strategy for virtual nursing, virtual observation, virtual consultations, patient and family engagement, and AI-assisted workflows. Caregility's Duo device serves as an intelligent edge endpoint at the patient bedside, enabling real-time remote communication, continuous sensor-based monitoring, and AI-assisted alerting at the point.
"This patent shows the intentionality behind how we design technology for healthcare. Our devices are purpose-built endpoints designed around the needs of patients, bedside teams, and remote caregivers," said Bin Guan, Chief Innovation Officer, Caregility. "The physical design supports our vision of creating an intelligent, connected patient room where virtual care, sensors, and AI can work together through a unified, scalable foundation."
Through the , health systems can use endpoints like the Duo to enable a growing range of workflows, including:
- Virtual nursing and remote clinical support
- Continuous and episodic patient observation
- Tele-ICU, Tele-Stroke, and specialist consultation
- Patient education, interpreter, and family engagement
- AI-assisted documentation and voice-enabled workflows
- Smart sensor integration and real-time patient-room awareness
By consolidating these capabilities through a common endpoint and platform architecture, Caregility helps healthcare organizations reduce technology fragmentation, extend the reach of clinical resources, and build smart room environments that can easily evolve as care models and technology requirements change.
The design patent adds to Caregility's growing portfolio of intellectual property and product innovation supporting connected care delivery. The company continues to invest in bedside technology that enables clinicians to care for patients everywhere while strengthening communication, coordination, and situational awareness for the care team.
