Description
Penn State Health Go is a digital wayfinding tool to help visitors and patients navigate our hospitals.
Anyone who has ever been lost or late for an appointment in a hospital knows the stress this can cause. With this app, you can find all publicly accessible indoor locations within supported Penn State Health hospitals.
Penn State Health Go was designed to be simple to use – open the app when you are in Penn State Health Hampden, Penn State Health Holy Spirit or Penn State Health Lancaster medical centers and choose navigate, browse or translate*. If you choose to navigate, you can pick your primary destination from the menu or use the search bar to type in the room or desired location (for example, nearest restroom). Then, select the location from the list, and off you go. The app will guide you to the door you need to enter. The browse feature provides the option to learn about artwork throughout the hospital and the translate feature changes the language of signs to display within the app in either Arabic, Nepali or Spanish.
The app guides you to your destination using your phone’s location, camera and Bluetooth® wireless technology. It uses directional and visual markers similar to the global positioning system you might have in your vehicle. You must give the app permission to access your phone's location, camera and Bluetooth® wireless technology as it is necessary for the app to locate your position to guide you throughout the hospital and to enhance the browse and translate features while using the app. User location data is used to enhance navigation accuracy. The location data is not saved. Penn State Health Go has specific access rules, which means it can only direct you to indoor locations that are open to the public.
Download our new wayfinding app as we share this new technology. We welcome your feedback.
*The application is accessible in Penn State Health Hampden, Penn State Health Holy Spirit and Penn State Health Lancaster medical centers, with more locations to come. The artwork browsing feature is currently limited to certain hospitals with plans to extend to additional locations.

Ratings and Reviews
Cool idea
Neat idea, but I could not get the app to work. I’d select a location, but it wouldn’t show any directions
Tv channels
App doesn’t have the channel listings. Pretty invasive. Blah
