What SONIFI Health does

SONIFI Health is a private US healthcare technology company that provides an interactive patient engagement platform to more than 450 healthcare organizations, including major health systems, children's hospitals, cancer centers, and rehabilitation facilities. The platform is centered on an Interactive TV endpoint, supplemented by Digital Whiteboard, Digital Door Sign, Mobile/BYOD (via the patented STAYCAST streaming solution supporting 2,000+ apps), and Digital Signage & Wayfinding modules. The system integrates bidirectionally with all five major US EHRs (Epic, Cerner/Oracle, MEDITECH, Veradigm, WellSky) using HL7 v2, FHIR, and API protocols, enabling automated assignment of condition-specific patient education and chart-back of completion data to the patient record. The platform also integrates with virtual care (Teladoc Health, Caregility, Amwell), nurse call/RTLS (Hillrom, Rauland, CenTrak), building automation (Honeywell, Johnson Controls, Siemens), dietary systems, and voice assistants (Aiva, Alexa), creating a multi-vendor smart-room orchestration layer. The platform holds SOC 2 Type II and TX-RAMP certifications, uses commercial-grade Samsung and LG smart TVs as endpoints, and provides an Insights Portal for real-time engagement and outcome analytics.

The company generates revenue through multi-year enterprise contracts combining platform subscription/licensing fees, hardware sales (smart TVs, pillow speakers, mounting equipment), and professional services for implementation, configuration, and clinical consulting. Pricing is custom and quote-based, determined by facility size, bed count, selected modules, and integration complexity, with no public pricing tiers. Go-to-market is exclusively direct enterprise field sales, targeting CIOs, CNOs, and C-suite executives at US health systems, supported by a content-driven demand generation engine (blog, white papers, webinars, case studies). The company reports documented outcome improvements including a 5.36% average HCAHPS Overall Rating lift, 7.10% Medication Education lift, 8+ hour length-of-stay reduction, and 55% prescription fill rate through meds-to-beds functionality, with average savings of $2,140 per prevented 30-day readmission. Sister entity SONIFI Solutions, Inc. extends the same hospitality-rooted technology into the senior living market.
