A family using their own smartphone to interact with a wall installation.

Hospitals are right to be cautious. Networks must be secure, bandwidth is precious, and staff already balance countless digital tools. Adding another layer can feel daunting.

That’s why Cosmos Continuum was designed to operate independently. Families use their own smartphones or tablets to access the augmented reality experiences. There are no headsets to manage, no hospital-owned devices to track, and — most importantly — no connection to hospital networks. Cosmos is a self-contained ecosystem.

In Europe, early versions of this technology required hospitals to provide tablets for families during their stay. Cosmos has taken the next step forward. By offering a free downloadable app, families simply use their own devices, making the experience more accessible while removing the need for hospitals to manage or sanitize equipment.

For administrators, this means peace of mind. There’s zero impact on servers, bandwidth, or IT security. For staff, it means less complexity and fewer processes to navigate. Cosmos blends into the environment seamlessly, bringing comfort without adding technical burden.

And for families, it’s wonderfully simple. A parent downloads the app, points their device at a trigger image, and suddenly a wall becomes a portal of wonder or a decal becomes a guide to calm. The experience is immediate, intuitive, and entirely theirs.

By keeping IT out of the equation, Cosmos ensures that innovation doesn’t come at the cost of infrastructure. It’s one of the reasons hospitals in Europe embraced the concept — and why the U.S. version is now even more scalable, practical, and family-friendly.
