New hardware leasing program bundles high-definition cameras, audio equipment, and other essential components with software, maintenance, support, and ongoing feature updates, all under a single, predictable monthly expense.

NEW ORLEANS, La., May 4, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Vitalchat, a leader in AI-powered ambient solutions for inpatient virtual nursing and procedural telehealth, today announced a new leasing program that enables hospitals to access camera and audio hardware through a flexible monthly subscription, transforming large upfront capital expenses (CapEx) into more manageable operating expenses (OpEx).

While hardware leasing models exist in healthcare, Vitalchat’s program is specifically designed to address the unique requirements of virtual nursing and procedural telehealth deployments. Vitalchat’s approach combines all the necessary hardware and software, maintenance, support and regular application feature and functionality updates into a single, predictable monthly expense. The program includes high-definition cameras with zoom capabilities, night vision features, audio equipment, and other essential components needed for virtual nursing and telehealth deployments. Vitalchat also offers multiple configuration options to meet various clinical needs across in-patient settings and procedural environments.

“As a CFO, I understand the value this model brings to healthcare financial planning,” said Wes Stewart, Chief Financial Officer at Vitalchat. “It removes large upfront working capital barriers and allows hospitals to predictably spend their money over time. If a camera breaks, they don’t have to purchase a new one, it’s simply swapped out while maintaining the same monthly rate. It eliminates surprises and provides the budget predictability that finance leaders need.”

The leasing program is part of Vitalchat’s ongoing mission to reduce barriers to adoption in healthcare environments where technology needs evolve rapidly. This approach allows hospitals to scale their virtual care infrastructure up or down as needed, without being locked into outdated equipment or face unexpected replacement costs. As hospitals continue to prioritize virtual nursing, virtual sitting, and hybrid care models, this offering helps care teams deploy innovative technology faster, with fewer operational hurdles and a more sustainable financial model.

The new program is available immediately.

About Vitalchat

Vitalchat delivers a flexible audio and video platform designed to transform healthcare delivery by addressing critical challenges like nursing shortages, procedural telehealth and care coordination with clinical teams, patients and their family members. Our technology utilizes AI to perform continuous real-time analysis of video, audio, and sensory data collected in the care setting to identify trends, predict risks, and flag anomalies that are then turned into meaningful alerts and automated actions that support the clinical teams in delivering efficient, safe and coordinated care.

HONG KONG, May 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Ottocast, a leading provider of aftermarket connectivity solutions for cars and smartphones, has proudly announced the launch of the new-generation Android car box NanoAI, integrating AI emotive display, voice assistant, CloudSIM and the Android 13 system to provide users with brand-new AI-enabled in-vehicle experience through upgraded intelligent solutions.

NanoAI is equipped with the elite-performance Qualcomm Snapdragon 680 chip, and the basic edition has a memory configuration of 8GB and 128GB. With the Android 13 system and CloudSIM, it can connect to the internet without Wi-Fi, hotspot or a physical SIM card. It also supports seamless switching of CarPlay, Android Auto and OttoDrive 2.5, providing more personalization options and full application access.

The interactive 1.83-inch AI screen responds to voice commands to ensure safer driving, and the AI-powered Co-Pilot makes conversations smoother and smarter. The enhanced control unlocks more apps and features beyond standard CarPlay or Android Auto, and users can customize the system for a tailored experience and stream videos, browse the web, or use non-native apps directly on the display.

“Nano is our answer to the future of smart cockpits. It represents not only a product upgrade, but also Ottocast’s new vision and thinking on the integration of user experience and AI,” said Hery Zeng, deputy director of Ottocast product development center.

NanoAI’s wireless connection simplifies smartphone interaction with the vehicle, while its plug-and-play installation ensures a clean setup without messy cables. Additionally, it enhances safety with GPS tracking and security features.

“The AI emotive display and voice control completely changes the way users communicate with the vehicles, in that it’s no longer an ice-cold piece of equipment, but more like a partner sitting at the co-pilot,” said Sophia Chang, CEO of Ottocast.

As Ottocast’s most forward-looking product, NanoAI not only is a major leap for Ottocast’s AI-enabled in-vehicle experience, but also represents the company’s entry into the smart AI cockpit sector and a turning point to shift the product strategy from “car adapter” to “intelligent car computing terminal,” lowering the threshold for smart cockpit upgrades and promoting the transition of the aftermarket to high value-added products.

Looking ahead, Ottocast will continue to expand its product line with commitment to further redefining the future of in-vehicle lifestyle through continuous innovation, turning the automobile into a true “third space.”
