The problem
When you're discharged, healthcare disappears.
20% of surgical patients are readmitted within 30 days—not because their surgery failed, but because nobody was watching. Caregivers are left guessing. Patients wonder, “Is this normal?”

Susan M.
Hip replacement patient
“I was so nervous about going home after surgery. This app was like having a nurse with me 24/7. Every time I worried something was wrong, I could check and feel reassured.”
James D.
Family caregiver
“Taking care of my mom after her heart surgery was overwhelming. The caregiver guides helped me know exactly what to watch for. I finally felt like I could actually help her, not just worry.”
Dr. Rachel K.
Orthopedic surgeon
“For years I wondered what happened to patients between visits. Now I actually know. And the ones heading toward trouble? I catch them before they end up back in the ER.”

FAQ
Common questions
Everything you need to know about implementing Distal at your organization.
How long does implementation take?
Most organizations are live within 2-4 weeks. We handle all the technical setup, EHR integration, and training. Your team can start prescribing recovery apps as soon as the integration is complete.
Does Distal integrate with our existing EHR?
Yes. We have native integrations with Epic, Cerner, MEDITECH, and other major EHR systems. We also offer HL7 FHIR-based connections for any standards-compliant system. Patient data flows automatically—no double documentation.
What conditions does Distal support?
We support 45+ conditions across surgical recovery, chronic disease management, behavioral health, oncology, and pediatrics. Our clinical team is constantly expanding our condition library based on partner needs.
How do patients access the app?
Patients receive a personalized link via text message at discharge—no app store download required. The experience works in any mobile browser and can also be saved to their home screen for easy access.
What about patient privacy and data security?
Security is foundational to everything we build. We're HIPAA compliant, SOC 2 Type II certified, and aligned with HITRUST. All data is encrypted at rest and in transit. We never sell patient data, ever.
How is Distal different from patient portals?
Patient portals are designed for records access. Distal is designed for active recovery support—personalized tracking, caregiver coordination, AI-powered guidance, and real-time symptom monitoring. Engagement rates are 10x higher than traditional portals.
What kind of ROI can we expect?
Our partners typically see 30-40% reduction in 30-day readmissions, which translates to significant savings on penalty avoidance and episode costs. Most organizations see positive ROI within 90 days of launch.
