Intercept’s technology-driven approach is renowned for its ability to help individual healthcare providers safely monitor more than a dozen patients at once.

Weston, FL — May 29, 2025 — Virtual sitting is the latest service from Intercept Telehealth, a premier provider of 24/7 virtual critical care.

Intercept’s trained virtual sitters use HIPAA-compliant video technology to provide continuous, remote observation to prevent adverse events, ensure fast intervention responses and reduce falls — the leading cause of patient injury in hospitals. As hospitals face immense pressure to improve patient safety metrics, virtual sitting is a real-time solution that advocates for situational awareness.

“Our virtual sitting program is designed to enhance safety without compromising care,” said Dr. Diego Reino, MD, FACS, founder and CEO of Intercept. “With hospitals facing staffing shortages, our solution allows clinical teams to redirect their attention to direct patient care while our virtual sitters handle non-urgent interactions.”

Intercept’s Virtual Sitting Program is a thoughtful approach to patient safety and workflows. It complements on-site providers by assisting in:

• Remote patient monitoring to identify early signs of distress
• Continuous surveillance for high-risk patients, including dementia care and suicide risk
• Real-time patient, family and staff communication
• Routine tasks requiring frequent patient engagement

Unlike traditional in-person sitters, virtual sitters reduce operational costs and help hospitals reallocate resources efficiently. This extension of the clinical team reduces staff burnout, boosts job satisfaction and fosters higher retention rates.

Virtual sitting is the latest in a string of virtual care services offered by Intercept Telehealth. It joins a roster that includes tele-critical care, virtual nursing, tele-neurology, tele-stroke and virtual sepsis unit.
