PDi Communication Systems, Inc.: From Job Shop to the Largest US Manufacturer of Hospital Televisions

Marisa Vilardo is the Director of Marketing, Sales, & Product Management for PDi Communication Systems, Inc.  PDi Communication Systems, Inc. was founded in the 1950s as a machine shop and has transformed into the largest US manufacturer of hospital televisions.  Unlike consumer TVs, PDi healthcare-grade TVs are UL-Listed for patient safety and durability.
  • They have less shock potential for patients with an IV break in their skin,
  • reduce noise on the floor through pillow speakers,
  • self-extinguish in the event of fire,
  • and can be cleaned to reduce hospital-acquired infections.
These benefits matter because patient safety, patient experience, and patient satisfaction are considered key measures of healthcare quality. For over 45 years, PDi has focused exclusively on building premium reliability in patient televisions. We design, build, install and service personal arm-mounted patient TVs, as well as large-screen smart hospital displays up to 75”. Today, we transform the bedside display into a clinical command center for Epic MyChart using GENiO cloud-based software by PDi.
