The new joint solution delivers sub-second access, zero-data-at-rest security, and measurable ROI, empowering clinicians to focus on patient care while reducing hospital costs by millions.

TEL-AVIV, Israel, Nov. 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Symmetrium, a mobile productivity platform, today announced a strategic partnership with BlueFletch, a leader in shared mobile device management and single sign-on for frontline workers. The collaboration introduces the first device-agnostic, enterprise grade mobility solution for healthcare designed to scale mobile programs with easier, seamless, less time-consuming workflows that are also secure and compliant by design.

“Every minute clinicians spend logging into devices or hunting for missing equipment is time stolen from patients,” said Richard Makerson, CEO of BlueFletch. “BlueFletch and Symmetrium have eliminated that friction entirely. One badge tap delivers instant access to a complete, secure workspace. No passwords, no delays, no hunting for devices. Clinicians focus on patients instead of passwords, and hospitals get the ROI, security, and control that legacy mobility solutions have failed to deliver.”

Mobile devices are now indispensable across clinical workflows, yet outdated mobile management systems often force hospitals to take on additional costs, lose time, and face an unreasonably high risk of security issues. Clinicians routinely report time lost during their shifts due to login issues, reducing bedside time that is invaluable for providing high-quality care. Device loss remains high, with nearly one in four shared devices going missing each year, costing hospitals more than $750,000 annually in replacement and downtime. Meanwhile, the average healthcare data breach in the U.S. now costs  $10.22 million per incident, the highest of any sector.

“Our collaboration with BlueFletch is about providing the same native mobile experience clinicians are accustomed to in their everyday lives and expanding it to the medical setting,” said Omer Cohen, Founder & CEO of Symmetrium. “Together, we’re giving hospitals a simpler, faster way to equip every clinician with instant, reliable mobile access that is secure and compliant by design without the complexity and frustration that slows them down.”

The Symmetrium–BlueFletch partnership combines BlueFletch’s badge-tap single sign-on and shared device management with Symmetrium’s zero-data-at-rest Virtual Mobile Workspace, enabling instant, secure access across iOS devices. Hospitals adopting the joint solution can achieve annual savings of up to $1.1 million, thanks to reductions in device loss, downtime, and IT overhead. Clinicians benefit from sub-second authentication, uninterrupted session continuity, and a frictionless user experience that returns valuable time to patient care.

The Symmetrium–BlueFletch solution includes key features such as:

• Device loss prevention & accountability: Reduce hardware overhead with Bring Your Own
  Device capability.

• Badge-tap single sign-on: Clinicians authenticate instantly and resume sessions seamlessly
  on any device

• Session resume: Minimize downtime. Clinicians can just badge in and pick up where they
  left off – sessions resume instantly.

• Security & Compliance by design: No-data-at-rest, Centralized logging, archiving, and
  auditability for HIPAA-aligned governance.

Deliver secure, compliant, and instant mobile access to every clinician – on any device.

Mobile workflows for the healthcare frontline care teams have  evolved — security alone isn’t enough. Symmetrium turns compliance into a built-in feature and productivity into the new standard for mobile access.

Why clinical mobility still falls short

Mobile access is now mission-critical in healthcare.
Clinicians rely on smartphones for communication, documentation, imaging, and care coordination — but most hospitals still struggle to make mobility work.

Across studies and frontline reports, the pain points are clear:

• Long logins and broken sessions. Clinical users lose minutes every shift re-authenticating or restarting timed-out sessions.
  
  
• Friction and fragmentation. Stacks of MDM, VPN, and containerized apps make mobile workflows slow and inconsistent.
  
  
• No secure BYOD options for nurses and frontline teams. Security requirements often block personal devices entirely, despite demand for flexibility.
  
  
• Device loss and management overhead. Hospitals face significant costs replacing and tracking shared devices each year.
  
  
• Clinician frustration. When tools slow care, staff revert to insecure workarounds — texting colleagues, storing photos locally, or avoiding mobile tools altogether.
  

Mobility was meant to save time. Instead, it’s become another time sink.

A better foundation for clinical mobility

Symmetrium replaces the heavy, fragmented mobile stack with a single secure workspace — a virtual mobile OS streamed to any device.

It looks and feels like a native phone, but runs entirely inside the hospital’s secure network.
No data ever leaves the server. No MDM enrollment. No device control.

Clinicians get the simplicity of personal smartphones; IT gets full compliance and auditability.

The cost of poor mobility

Healthcare’s dependence on mobile access continues to grow, yet so do the inefficiencies:

• Global research shows that most hospitals rate their mobile management capabilities below “effective”, citing weak access control, high downtime, and frequent device loss.
  
  
• Half of respondents in multi-nation surveys say their organization lacks core features like remote lock, real-time tracking, or audit logging.
  
  
• User satisfaction remains low, with over half of clinical leaders ranking mobile access at six or below on a 10-point scale.
  
  
• The financial impact is substantial — between lost productivity, downtime, and device replacement, many health systems lose hundreds of thousands of dollars per year in preventable overhead.
  

Symmetrium’s approach addresses the root cause: complexity. Instead of fixing the stack, it replaces it with a single, seamless workspace.

Designed for every healthcare use case

1. Shared devices for nurses and shift-based staff

Enable multiple clinicians to share devices securely with instant badge-tap login and session resume. Each user’s workspace follows them across shifts and devices.

Outcome: Eliminates long logins, removes shared credentials, reduces device loss, and gives nurses back minutes for patient care.

2. BYOD at scale

Allow clinicians to use personal smartphones for EHR, secure messaging, and imaging — with full privacy. No agents, no data left behind.

Outcome: Expands access while reducing capital spend and finally makes BYOD viable for frontline staff.

3. Multi-facility physician access

Physicians covering multiple hospitals or clinics can use one device and one workspace for all systems.

Outcome: Fewer devices, simpler workflows, consistent compliance.

4. Compliant clinical messaging

Run Teams, WhatsApp, Signal, TigerConnect, Halo, or Spok directly inside the workspace.

Outcome: Faster consults and discharges, full message archiving, and protected personal privacy.

5. Secure camera and content capture

Capture wound photos and videos within the workspace and upload directly to the EHR.

Outcome: Better documentation and zero risk of PHI leakage.

6. Virtual rounding and cross-team consults

Enable secure messaging and teleconsults between teams or facilities.

Outcome: Faster time-to-decision and smoother coordination.

7. Temporary and contractor access

Provide short-term compliant mobile access for rotating staff — without enrollment or manual setup.Outcome: Quick onboarding, one-click revocation, consistent compliance.

Compliance that runs in the background

Every Symmetrium workspace automatically enforces HIPAA and GDPR requirements:

• Zero data at rest
  
• End-to-end encryption and audit trails
  
• Screenshot, recording, and copy-paste blocking
  
• Seamless integration with identity providers and conditional access
  

Compliance isn’t a separate process — it’s baked into the architecture.
