Pocket RN is an emerging leader in providing virtual at-home nursing care. Founded in 2020 by CEO Jenna Morgenstern Gaines, Pocket RN enables patients and families to access licensed nurses on-demand via their smartphones. Their network of over 500 nurses covers all 50 states.
The Pocket RN model focuses on forming long-term “nurse for life” relationships to build trust and gain deeper health insights over time. Key benefits include getting clinical questions addressed in real-time without needing urgent care visits, facilitating hospital discharge follow-ups, and reducing barriers to expert advice – especially helpful for older adults and caregivers.
Within three years, Pocket RN now serves over 3,000 patients nationwide. As the senior population grows exponentially in coming decades, virtual nursing platforms like Pocket RN will likely play a major role in efficient healthcare delivery from the home setting. Though still early, Pocket RN illustrates the vast potential of telehealth to centralize multidisciplinary care coordination via tech-enabled solutions.#virtualnursing #telehealth #homehealth #seniorcare #eldercare #caregiving #homecare #aginginplace
