SANTA CLARA, Calif., Nov. 3, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- iQueue for Virtual Care, the first launch under LeanTaaS' strategy of incorporating ambient intelligence into its suite of healthcare solutions, was introduced at the Transform Executive Summit, held in conjunction with Becker's CEO + CFO Roundtable. This innovative platform integrates peer-reviewed vision AI to patient rooms and extends care team awareness beyond remote encounters, providing continuous awareness across enrolled patient rooms and enabling teams to recognize changes in patient activity, surface potential safety concerns early, and coordinate the right response.
The release highlights how important operational context lives in care team interactions, patient activity, and the surrounding environment. Ambient intelligence expands what iQueue can sense by capturing signals the electronic health record (EHR) and conventional systems may miss or receive much later. In the context of virtual care, this expansion redefines the model beyond connecting patients and clinicians across distance. It extends awareness between encounters, such as when a patient tries to stand without assistance or hasn't been out of bed in many hours, and turns those signals into prioritized work and coordinated action through iQueue. This helps teams focus their time where it's most needed and know how to respond effectively.
To accelerate this strategy, LeanTaaS acquired LookDeep Health, which brings computer vision monitoring technology evaluated in peer-reviewed research published in Frontiers in Imaging, an open technology platform, and experience deploying virtual care in health systems. Beyond virtual care, LeanTaaS plans to incorporate ambient intelligence into additional iQueue products and workflows to support capacity, patient flow, and care coordination.
The release also details the benefits of iQueue for Virtual Care, which brings together three offerings powered by ambient intelligence. These include Virtual Observation, Virtual Nursing, and Virtual Medicine. Virtual Observation combines continuous AI monitoring across enrolled patient rooms with tools to support observation teams, recognize potential safety concerns, engage and redirect patients, and escalate to bedside staff. Virtual Nursing extends nursing capacity by providing remote support for admissions, rounding, patient education, and discharge preparation, prioritized by what is happening in each room, giving bedside nurses more time for hands-on care. Virtual Medicine connects patients with remote physicians and specialists for consultations and clinical expertise, and gives clinicians insight into each patient between visits.
The release reports on significant operational improvements achieved by these offerings. For example, LookDeep's deployment experience in health systems includes reductions of more than 70% in fall rates, twice as much nursing contact, an 80% reduction in medication errors, and 3x cost savings compared to traditional virtual sitting solutions across different deployments and operating models.
To extend this support across more patient rooms, health systems can build on compatible cameras and in-room devices already in place or deploy supported hardware as needed. This open approach helps preserve existing investments while creating a foundation for new capabilities.
