Columbus-based OhioHealth has been experiencing promising early results from its 84 smart hospital rooms and plans to expand the technology to more facilities.

The 15-hospital system instituted the tech at its new $178 million OhioHealth Pickerington (Ohio) Methodist Hospital, which opened in December.

The technology exists in 72 med-surg rooms and 12 labor and delivery rooms at the hospital. The smart rooms cost $13,000 to $15,000 each. OhioHealth partners on the devices with smart room company eVideon and virtual care startup Caregility.
