Post-surgical recovery & readmission prevention
Follow each surgical patient's response from the bedside through discharge. See who is recovering and who is not, so the readmission becomes a prevented event instead of a billed one.
For Hospitals & Health Systems
Turn the monitors you already own into a recovery-response platform.
Bardel is a software layer on the patient monitors hospitals already have. No new hardware. It integrates with your EHR and turns the recovery window into objective, real-time response data, from the bedside through discharge.
The blind spot
Recovery is where the cost lives, and where you have the least visibility.
Hospitals are now financially accountable for outcomes they cannot see. Most recovery happens after discharge, unmonitored, and the first signal of a problem often arrives as a readmission you are already paying for.
The cost
0
The estimated cost of a single avoidable readmission, billed back to you.
At financial risk
Hundreds
of hospitals now carry financial risk for surgical-episode outcomes under CMS value-based models.
After discharge
Unmonitored
Most recovery happens after the patient leaves the building, where today no one is watching.
The old way
- Recovery rated by a single 0-to-10 pain question
- One number, asked only at the visit
- No structure, no way to verify the response
- The first real signal arrives as a readmission
The Bardel way
- An objective, continuous response signal
- Baseline, response, and trajectory on one axis
- A clear read on how the body is recovering
- Deterioration surfaced while there is time to act
The Bardel way
Recovering well
How it works
Software that runs on the monitors already at the bedside.
Bardel reads the physiological signal others miss from the monitors hospitals already own, and turns it into an objective read on how each patient is responding to treatment, in real time.
It follows the same five steps that power the whole platform, from the hardware on your floor to a dataset that gets smarter with every session.

Why hospitals choose Bardel
Visibility into recovery, without new hardware on the floor.
No new hardware
Bardel runs as a software layer on the patient monitors already at the bedside, integrated through your EHR. Nothing to install on the floor, nothing new for biomed to certify.
Catch deterioration earlier
Post-surgical recovery monitoring and early-warning from the response signal surface a turn for the worse while there is still time to act, not after the patient is back in the ED.
Protect at-risk reimbursement
Objective recovery data gives you the documentation that value-based contracts demand, so episode outcomes are something you can show, not something you hope for.
Where it works
Three places it pays for itself first.
The same platform, configured for the moments where unmeasured recovery costs your system the most.
ED pain-versus-cardiac triage
Give the emergency department an objective read on the body's response so pain is not mistaken for a cardiac event, supporting faster, better-documented triage decisions.
System-wide early-warning monitoring
Extend the same response signal across units to surface deterioration earlier, informing the clinicians on the floor before a quiet decline becomes an emergency.
The math for your system
Recovery you can finally see, on infrastructure you already paid for.
Bardel is additive, not disruptive. It rides on the monitors and the EHR you run today, and turns the recovery window into reimbursable, documented, defensible data.

This is already real
Built with clinicians who have done this before.
Bardel is live today, grounded in decades of peer-reviewed science, and guided by clinicians who have run pain medicine and molecular science for entire careers. As of 2026, the platform is capturing real response data across the country.

Bardel's clinical program is advised by Dr. Brian Shaffer, who has spent more than 40 years in pain medicine and founded Princeton Pain Management, alongside Dr. Charles Leaf, with 35-plus years in molecular science. The people building this have done it before.
