By providing real-time monitoring of seniors who live alone and are self-isolating, and those in care homes that are most at risk, beds and lives may be saved. With real-time 24/7 remote vital signs monitoring with alarms, the risk to these patients can be minimized in the very near term, at a low cost, saving lives and creating peace of mind for patients and their care providers. SafetyPatch delivers these benefits.
SafetyPatch is a small, lightweight device designed to integrate seamlessly into daily life. With 100 custom designs to match different skin tones, it becomes almost invisible when worn.
Deviation from an individual’s normal vital signs can indicate health issues, making SafetyPatch an effective preventative tool and a means to track disease progression.
SafetyPatch offers a robust cloud dashboard that allows caregivers and medical professionals to access historical data and monitor thousands of patients in real-time. This feature ensures that health trends can be tracked over time, and any immediate health concerns can be addressed promptly.
Hospitals and care homes are overwhelmed, with insufficient resources and personnel to support the system. As such, a solution to reduce the burden of an incoming senior population is to introduce remote monitoring tools.
Healthcare providers, like nurses, are required to measure vital signs at least every 4 hours. This takes away from other tasks that may be more urgent. SafetyPatch eliminates this task by monitoring individual patients in real-time.
The data is available through EMR integration, permitting a large patient database to be monitored at once. Alert ranges are programmable by nurses and physicians to alert when vitals are detected beyond the threshold, based on individualized patient needs. A NEWS2 score is shared to guide a preferred action.Similarly, physicians can use health data collected by SafetyPatch to create a treatment plan for the individual. The continuous monitoring performed by the systems means earlier deterioration detection and favorable treatment outcomes.Research has shown a remote monitoring tool like SafetyPatch leads to a 10% reduction in hospital stay and 45% decrease in readmission. This opens hospital space and frees resources to be used in critical cases.
