Re: Roku express trying to use in hospital with phone app

Generally, have to be on the home network for the mobile app and the Roku device to communicate.  When traveling away from home network, usually need a physical remote.

If your phone allows (or you also have a laptop with you), you can try establishing a hotspot connection on the phone and connecting the Roku device to the hotspot as well.  Of course, you will be using your own data rather than the hospital wifi; but short of getting a physical Roku remote (or compatible universal streaming remote), may be only option for you.
