Vital's Remarkable Growth in Patient Engagement
In a significant leap towards revolutionizing healthcare, Vital has announced a notable milestone, surpassing
5 million active patients using its AI-powered patient experience platform. This surge is merely the beginning, as projections show that the number could potentially triple by
2026.
Vital's system, which seamlessly integrates with major electronic health record (EHR) systems such as
Epic,
Cerner, and
Meditech, is tailored to enhance patient interactions. As of the third quarter of
2025, over
60% of registered users are actively engaging with the platform, averaging around
30 minutes per visit—far exceeding typical use rates for digital health applications.
A Transformational Approach to Patient Care
Vital's unique capability lies in its real-time communication features that keep patients and their families informed throughout their medical journey. Users receive essential updates directly to their mobile devices, covering aspects such as wait times, simplified test results, care milestones, and discharge instructions, all without the need for downloads or login hurdles. This approach has proven critical in fostering a calmer healthcare environment, empowering patients with the information they need.
The platform’s ability to proactively identify high-risk patient concerns and offer support in
multiple languages not only enhances user experience but also helps reduce healthcare disparities, thus addressing the needs of a diverse patient population. By doing so, Vital minimizes interruptions for medical staff while creating a supportive environment for patients and their families.
According to
Aaron Patzer, Vital's CEO and co-founder, the achievement of reaching
five million lives signifies more than just a number; it reflects the organization's dedication to prioritizing patient experiences in healthcare. Patzer emphasizes that improving health communication directly correlates with increased revenue, higher patient scores, and enhanced retention for health systems.
Impact Metrics: A Closer Look at Outcomes
The positive impact of Vital's integration can be measured through several key metrics:
- - A 30% to 50% reduction in patients leaving without being seen or against medical advice.
- - A 10% to 15% boost in Net Promoter Scores related to wait times.
- - Improved Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) results, leading to fewer emergency department return visits.
- - A drop in 30-day readmission rates by 5% to 7%.
Additionally, the adoption of Vital's platform has reached over
60% of users, a remarkable achievement compared to the average adoption rates of around
10% for traditional digital health solutions. For instance, a pediatric hospital in California reported an inspiring
78% usage among eligible patients.

#1 Patient Experience Solution by KLAS. The platform is currently operational in over
100 hospitals, including notable names like
CommonSpirit,
MedStar Health, and
Emory Healthcare. This is largely due to its commitment to human-centered design and scalable interoperability, which seamlessly enhances existing clinical workflows.
