Penn State Health Go

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 in Penn State Health Hampden Medical Center.

The Penn State Health Go platform is a directional guide to help you get to your destination within Hampden Medical Center. The app was designed to be simple to use – open the app when you are in the medical center, and choose the primary destination from the menu or use the search bar to type the room or desired location (for example, nearest restroom). Then, select the location, and off you go. The app will take you to the door you need to enter. You have the option to learn about artwork throughout the hospital and translate signs to your preferred language.

The app guides you to your destination using your phone’s camera.* It uses directional and visual markers similar to the global positioning system you might have in your vehicle. Penn State Health Go has specific access rules, which means it can only direct you to indoor locations that are open to the public.

If you're directed to another floor, the app will even guide you between floors using our public elevators. When you get in the elevator, press the button for your floor, then press the "floor confirmation" button on your phone.

*You must give the app permission to use your phone’s camera for it to work.
