Why Electronic Bedside Cards Haven’t Scaled — Until Now?

Five design mistakes that block adoption in hospitals:

  1. Over‑Engineered Full-Color Displays: Unclear focus, very high cost and high power consumption
    Our solution: BWRY is a reliable and good enough option due to its mature mass production, cost-effectiveness and high volume availability. We support displays of any sizes and colors.
  2. Physical Buttons Create Risk: Accidental patient presses, latency and unstable connections reduce reliability.
    Our solution: buttons can be included or excluded depending on your use case and requirements.
  3. Information Overload: Too much data can make it difficult to read and can affect clinicians’ decision-making.
    Our solution: preloaded images that automatically switch or are triggered for different scenarios.
  4. Wired Power Dependency: Power cords compete with medical equipment and are easily unplugged.
    Our solution: long battery lifetime of several years and a completely wireless solution.
  5. Dedicated Wireless Infrastructure: Extra APs, cabling and interference block scalable deployment.
    Our solution: proprietary 2.4GHz ultra‑low‑power protocol that uses existing enterprise-grade Wi-Fi APs for communication.
